No, 100 ppm for TPH is an investigation level, which is a starting point to determine the vertical and lateral extent of TPH contamination in the soil. Clean-up levels are determined on a site by site basis and will be affected by factors such as land-use, volume of contaminated soil, mass of contaminant, and carbon chain value.
