Does the 5,100 mg EPH/kg soil remediation criterion for No. 2 fuel oil/diesel fuel oil apply below the ground water table?
Yes. The 5,100 mg EPH/kg soil remediation criteria for No. 2 fuel oil/diesel fuel oil is a “direct contact soil remediation standard.” Therefore, this criterion applies both above and below the ground water table. Pursuant to the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation, N.J.A.C. 7:26E-4.1(b)3ii, delineation below the ground water table is required for direct contact standards. The primary reasons for this delineation are to properly determine vertical limits of contamination for the purposes of the institutional control (i.e., Deed Notice), as well as to address concerns regarding future use of the site.
