Section 742.115 - Key Elements

To develop remediation objectives under this Part, the following key elements shall be addressed.

a) Exposure Routes

1) This Part identifies the following as potential exposure routes to be addressed:

A) Outdoor inhalation;

B) Indoor inhalation;

C) Soil ingestion;

D) Groundwater ingestion; and

E) Dermal contact with soil.

2) The evaluation of exposure routes under subsections (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), (a)(1)(C) and (a)(1)(D) is required for all sites when developing remediation objectives or excluding exposure pathways. Evaluation of the dermal contact exposure route is required for use of RBCA equations in Appendix C, Table C or use of formal risk assessment under Section 742.915.

3) The groundwater ingestion exposure route is comprised of two components:

A) Migration from soil to groundwater (soil component); and

B) Direct ingestion of groundwater (groundwater component).

4) The outdoor inhalation route is comprised of two components:
