Not specific to dredge sediments.
Technical and Administrative
Guidance Memorandum (TAGM):
Determination of Soil Cleanup
Objectives and Cleanup Levels
(4046). Created to establish
criteria to clean up superfund sites.
SSLs for carcinogens based on
human health levels in HEAST,
human health based levels for
systemic toxicants, calculated from
Reference Doses (RfDs),
groundwater and drinking water
standards, background values of
contaminants and detection limits.
Goal is to remediate to
background levels
No clear regulations specific to
dredge material. Regulated under
solid waste unless contaminated.
Then regulated under biosolids
(OAC 3745-40)
Not specific to dredge sediments.
Soil screening levels for cleanup of
superfund and other hazardous
sites. Will use dredge sediments
for abandoned mine land
reclamation, but difficult to locate
general dredge regulations
Specific to dredge sediments.
Rules and Regulations for
Dredging and the Management of
Dredged Material. Limited
screening levels. Values for total
petroleum hydrocarbons, PCBs
and several metals only
