What LSPs Don’t Know about Site Characterization and Soil Management

There is a significant difference between site characterization needs to evaluate risks to the public health, welfare and environment under the MCP and evaluating soil conditions relative to future site development and disposal.  Many property owners are shocked to discover that the site they thought was “Clean” turns out to be contaminated and in some cases turns out to contain hazardous waste despite having received a Response Action Outcome statement from their LSP.   Even relatively sophisticated owners and consultants alike are sometimes caught off guard when the site they thought was adequately characterized for site development needs significant additional testing.   The paper presents several commonly made mistakes made by land owners and consultants and LSPs when characterizing a site for future site development purposes.   Several examples will be presented illustrating when a soil contaminant may be present which does not pose a risk to the public health, welfare or environment under the MCP but may still be characterized as a hazardous waste.  Recommendations for incorporating soil management and disposal needs into the site design program are offered.
