Emergency response

Guidance coming soon.

Analysis of carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAH)

Effective June 2011, analytical methodology for the vast majority of remediation sites will be the short list of seven cPAHs. However, under certain site conditions the extended list of 25 cPAH compounds will be recommended. The policy document provides background and situations where the extended list of 25 cPAH methodology applies.

Disposal of mercury contaminated soil in Minnesota landfills

The MPCA will consider, on a case by case basis, disposal in appropriate Minnesota Landfills of soils contaminated by mercury at concentrations which are both no greater than 4 ppm and which are non-hazardous. This will apply to soils from remediation and redevelopment sites. Any such disposal must occur in accordance with industrial solid waste management plans. For further discussion of this issue, please see the program management decision document below:

• MPCA Program Management Decision Memo on Disposal of Mercury-contaminated soils in Minnesota Landfills (solidwaste-mercurysoils)

Offsite reuse of fill materials

The MPCA has developed the following policy and guidance for the offsite reuse of excess soil or fill material for brownfield redevelopment sites. For unregulated fill material, please refer to:

• Best Management Practices for the Offsite Reuse of Unregulated Fill (c-rem1-01)

For fill material with contaminant levels greater than the MPCA's most conservative risk-based standards, please refer to the following documents that detail procedures for brownfield redevelopment sites (that are enrolled in the MPCA's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) and/or Petroleum Brownfields (PB) programs) to move fegulated fill from one VIC/PB site to another VIC/PB site, subject to the terms and conditions as outlined:

• Program Management Decision on Regulated Fill (w-sw8-04)
