What is the maximum concentration allowed to remain under the Generic Remedy?

The maximum concentration allowed to remain under the Generic Remedy is 10,000 ppm of the specified contaminant (Dx). This standard is established to manage and mitigate risks associated with soil or water contamination. The Generic Remedy is designed to balance the need for environmental safety with practical remediation efforts, allowing for a level of contamination that can be managed effectively.

Choosing a concentration of 10,000 ppm aligns with industry practices and regulatory guidelines that recognize that while it’s important to clean up the environment, some residual levels may be permissible under specific conditions, provided they do not pose significant risks to human health or the ecosystem. This threshold facilitates the implementation of remediation strategies that are both feasible and effective.
