Cleanup standards for petroleum hydrocarbons. part 2. Case study comparisons of site‐specific cleanup standards with generic TPH standards
Many states across the U.S. use the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) measurement as a regulatory tool for setting cleanup standards for underground storage tank sites and other petroleum‐related sites requiring cleanup. In Part 1 of this article (Michelsen and Petito Boyce, J. Soil Contam., 2(2): 109–124), alternative techniques and new methods for developing site‐specific cleanup standards for petroleum hydrocarbons were reviewed, including the use of chemical fingerprinting, constituent analysis, and human health and ecological risk assessment methods. In Part 2 of this article, the cost effectiveness and accuracy of these approaches are evaluated by comparing a generic TPH cleanup standards approach with site‐specific cleanup standards approaches for two actual sites in Washington State, a neighborhood gas station and a former bulk fuel storage facility. Based on these case studies, as well as consideration of other available approaches discussed in Part 1 of this article, recommendations are provided for selecting the most appropriate method of developing cleanup standards at a petroleum‐contaminated site.
