  • Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRG) Table
    North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) June 2021 (based on May 2021 USEPA Regional Screening Tables) These notes must be used with the PSRG Table General Notes: 1. PSRGs are obtained using the USEPA Regional Screening Level (RSL) table. If a contaminant does not have a PSRG listed, then one or more of the contaminant-specific parameters are not available from the RSL table to calculate a soil PSRG (these contaminants are only included in the PSRG table to account for all entries on the RSL table). If a 02L Standard or IMAC is available for a contaminant with no PSRGs, protection of groundwater evaluation is still necessary. Leaching tests should be performed by an analytical laboratory to determine whether this contaminant it is leaching to groundwater above its NC 02L Standard or IMAC, or another method may be allowed by the state program providing oversight. 2. The health-based PSRGs (Residential and Industrial/Commercial) are based upon human health risk and do not address potential ecological risk. The PSRGs listed are the lower of: a. the carcinogenic target risk of 1.0E-06 (C), or b. the non-carcinogenic target hazard quotient of 0.2 (N). Residential health-based PSRGs should be used to identify site contaminants and delineate their extent. 3. The protection of groundwater PSRGs are provided as a conservative indicator of soil leachability and are developed using a USEPA soil leaching model with conservative assumptions and default values appropriate for North Carolina (see Equation 1 on page 4). Check remedial program guidance or the Technical Guidance for Risk-Based Environmental Remediation of Sites published on the NCDEQ Risk-Based Remediation website for alternative methods to further characterize site-specific soil leachability if soil concentrations exceed protection of groundwater PSRGs.
