• Abstract:
  The Department’s Divisions of Operations and Project Development generate large volumes of mildly contaminated soil (MCS) and Limited Reuse Soil (LRS). These MCSs/LRSs contain non-point sourced anthropogenic impacts, with contaminant concentrations above natural background conditions. Additionally, available data indicates the presence of several metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) at concentrations that exceed criteria that are protective of public health and the environment. Removal and disposal of the MCS/LRS at a solid waste management facility in strict accordance with the NH Solid Waste Rules (Env-Sw), as administered by the NHDES, represents a significant financial burden to the Department. Based on the research reviewed, as part of this Technical Guidance, PAHs in MCS/LRS tend to stay adsorbed to the organic carbon content of the soils and show low potential for leachability, as supported by NHDES’s modeling of potential mobility of PAHs such as benzoapyrene. 17.
