paragraph states that a statistically derived<br />

residual COC concentration will be calculated<br />

<strong>and</strong> compared to the RG to demonstrate<br />

compliance. This is not appropriate for arsenic<br />

<strong>and</strong> PAHs (B(a)P-TEs), as the cleanup goals for<br />

these chemicals are upper-bound, not to exceed<br />

values; consequently, individual confirmation<br />

sample results must be compared directly to the<br />

cleanup goals for compliance. Estimating a<br />

95% UCL may not be appropriate for soil gas<br />

VOCs, as the issue is extent <strong>and</strong> the resulting<br />

95% UCL may dilute a potential high<br />

concentration with NDs.<br />

4 Page 7-11, Section 7.4.1 (Air Monitoring): The<br />

following community or fence line action levels<br />

should be included in the Table on Page 7-11.<br />

Chemical Name Community Action Level<br />

Benzene 60 µg/m3<br />

Naphthalene 9 µg/m3<br />

PCE 35 µg/m3<br />

1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene 6 µg/m3<br />

1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene 6 µg/m3<br />

PCBs 0.1 µg/m3<br />

Arsenic 0.03 µg/m3<br />

A paragraph should be added discussing the<br />

SCAQMD Rule 403 <strong>and</strong> the fence line action<br />

level of 50 µg/m3 as being health protective for<br />

all non-volatile constituents being remediated.<br />

modified to reflect that calculating a 95% UCL would require DTSC concurrence to<br />

ensure that the results are representative <strong>and</strong> that elevated soil gas concentrations are<br />

not inappropriately diluted.<br />

“At the discretion of the District <strong>and</strong> in consultation with DTSC, a statistically derived<br />

residual COC concentration will be calculated <strong>and</strong> compared to the RG to demonstrate<br />

compliance. This approach will not be utilized for arsenic <strong>and</strong> PAHs given that the<br />

RGs represent upper-bound allowable concentrations. The methods used to calculate<br />

a 95-percent upper confidence limit (UCL) concentration are outlined in the DTSC<br />

(2008c)-approved Risk Protocol Document (Parsons, 2007c). DTSC will be consulted<br />

about any specific application to ensure that sufficient data exists to calculate a UCL,<br />

the results are representative, <strong>and</strong> that elevated concentrations are not inappropriately<br />

diluted out.”<br />

Response – The requested Community Action Levels have been added to the RAP. In<br />

addition, the following text has been added to Section 7.4.1 of the RAP.<br />

“As discussed in Section 6, requirements of SCAQMD Rule 403 will be met, including<br />

fence line air monitoring to ensure that there are no adverse impacts to the<br />

surrounding community. Community action levels (fence line) have been established<br />

<strong>and</strong> are shown on the table. The 50 µg/m 3 fence line action level is considered health<br />

protective for other non-volatile constituents being remediated.”<br />
