Note: µg/L approximates ppb. NS = Not Specified in regulation. NA = Not Applicable (non volatile contaminants). (1) Two notification thresholds have been established depending upon potential use of groundwater. (2) Three generic cleanup standards have been established depending upon potential groundwater use/exposure: A- groundwater actual/potential drinking water supply; B- where groundwater could be the source of vapor emissions to buildings; C- everywhere. Alternative levels are permissible based upon a site-specific Risk Characterization. Contact: John J.

NS=Not Specified in regulation. (1) Two notification thresholds have been established for "high" and "low" exposure potential areas. (2) Nine generic cleanup standards have been established depending upon exposure potential/accessibility of soil, and use/classification of underlying groundwater. Alternative cleanup levels are permissible based upon a site-specific risk characterization.
