Risk Integrated System of Closure
(RISC) and Solid Waste
Guidelines Evaluation of
Reclamation Criteria and SSLs,
Appendix 1 (updated in 2006).
Cost effective program to be used
in conjunction with other
regulations for the closing of
contaminated sites, see technical
guide tab from website for full
document. SSLs are dependent
upon pH (regular closure levels
determined for pH 6-8) and based
on equations from the EPA Soil
Screening Guide (1996)
Specific to dredge sediments,
upland placement. Section under
Solid Waste Management
Regulations, Beneficial Uses of
Solid Wastes, Chapter 418
Not specific to dredge sediments,
soil cleanup standards for
voluntary cleanup and superfund
scenarios. Cleanup Standards for
Soil and Groundwater. Appendix
in document with SSLs,
calculations for determining SSLs,
and background levels for the
state
Proposal to regulate dredge
material under federal clean water
act instead of hazardous materials
act for MA. If the material is
considered hazardous, both
regulations will apply. No SSLs
