- 104. ∗ Does it meet general criteria? ∗ Does it meet scenarios 2, 3, and 4 of groundwater criteria? ∗ Exempt from vapor criteria ∗ Could site meet direct contact criteria with land use controls? Summary of LTCP Criteria for Voting
- 105. ∗ What about variations in groundwater concentrations? ∗ What about TBA in groundwater at concentrations up to 35,000 µg/L? ∗ TPH mass remaining (estimated 17,600 pounds) ∗ Shallow soil contamination with concentrations that exceed LTCP Table 1 and no naphthalene data Do Any of These Conditions Change Your Vote?
