Will the 5,100 mg EPH/kg No. 2 fuel oil /diesel value be applied to other petroleum hydrocarbon compound mixtures?
No. The Department is currently in the process of establishing a certified laboratory analytical method that will allow for the development of site-specific remediation standards for the different types of petroleum hydrocarbon compound mixtures to determine if additional remediation (delineation, remedial action, etc.) is required. Until such time that this method is certified, the existing 10,000 mg/kg criterion will be the applicable remediation goal for all petroleum hydrocarbon compound mixtures (other than No. 2 fuel oil or diesel) subject to total petroleum hydrocarbon soil testing as per Table 2-1 of the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (N.J.A.C. 7:26E). Updates on the status of method certification will be provided through the Department website. In addition, changes to this guidance will be announced by email to the Department staff and posted on the Department’s website to inform the regulated community.
