Notes for the table titled "Metlakatla Indian Community Soil and Water Cleanup Levels":

  • NS = No Standard
  • a = Residential cleanup level applies to all areas not zoned or otherwise officially designated for industrial use.
  • b = Industrial cleanup level applies to all areas zoned or otherwise officially designated for industrial use.
  • c = Ground water cleanup levels are based on national recommended water quality criteria for surface waters, except as otherwise noted. Cleanup levels reflect the most stringent applicable criteria.
  • d = Cleanup level based on Safe Drinking Water Act Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) because there is currently no surface water criterion.
  • e = TPH cleanup levels based on Washington State ground water cleanup levels because there are no federal water quality criteria for these constituents.

Notes:

* = carcinogen

1 = Residential cleanup level applies to all areas not zoned or otherwise officially designated for industrial use.

2 = Industrial cleanup level applies to all areas zoned or otherwise designated for industrial use.

3 = Ground water cleanup levels are based on federal toxics criteria for surface waters, except as otherwise noted.

4 = If ground water is a current or potential future drinking water source, or may impact surface water which is a current or potential future drinking water source, cleanup will be required to meet federal drinking water standards.

5 = Cleanup level based on Safe Drinking Water Act Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) because there is currently no surface water criterion.

6 = TPH cleanup levels based on Washington State ground water cleanup levels because there are not federal water quality criteria for these constituents.

7 = Cleanup level based on federal chronic toxicity criteria for aquatic organisms, expressed as a function of water hardness, according to the following equation: e(1.273[ln(hardness)]-4.705). Value in table corresponds to a total hardness of 100 mg/L.
