| Description | This memo contains technical information for site managers who clean up contaminated sites. It is geared for cleanups happening near streams, lakes, and oceans, with information that helps protect the aquatic animals living there. The document provides gasoline and diesel range organic concentrations that are predicted to be protective for environmental effects in marine and fresh surface waters at any Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) cleanup site. The MTCA regulation (also known as the MTCA Cleanup Rule) (Chapter 173-340 WAC) contains surface water cleanup standards. When you establish Method B or Method C surface water cleanup levels for gasoline or diesel that are protective for environmental effects under WAC 173-340-730(3)(b)(ii) or (4)(b)(ii), you may either: 1. Use the concentrations specified in this document; or 2. Establish concentrations using the protocols described in Chapter 173-205 WAC, Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing and Limits. As an alternative to the values presented in this document, you may use the protocols in Chapter 173-205 WAC, Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing and Limits to establish a site specific protective concentrations. REVISION NOTES: This memo was released on Thursday, March 7, 2019 and was available for public comment through Friday, May 10, 2019. In August 2021, we finalized it based on comments received during the draft memo’s public comment period. |
