Interim Final TGD: New Guidance

 DEP ID: 258-2182-774. Title: Utilizing Published Data in Performing a Background Demonstration and Equivalent Site Evaluation for Naturally Occurring Vanadium. Description: The current clean fill concentration limit for vanadium established by the Department's Management of Fill Policy, Document # 258-2182-773, is below what is typically found in naturally occurring soils in this Commonwealth and surrounding states. The purpose of this interim final technical guidance document is to identify data that represents background vanadium concentrations in soil and use the statistical method suggested by the Management of Fill Policy to develop regional background concentrations to be used in making fill determinations. Use of the established regional background concentration can satisfy the procedures for collecting additional samples and data in performing a background determination and equivalent site evaluation outlined in the Management of Fill Policy.
