CLARC data tables and other technical information

Data tables in the CLARC spreadsheet contain information to help cleanup project managers and other stakeholders determine cleanup levels for hazardous waste sites. Stakeholders could include site managers, the regulated community, consultants, and the public. 

CLARC's data tables provide:

  • Method A cleanup levels
  • Default human health cleanup levels for soil, groundwater, surface water, air, and vapor intrusion that are calculated using the standard Method B and Method C equations from the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) Cleanup Regulations (also known as the MTCA cleanup rule).
  • Information about the physical parameters and toxicity of chemicals used to calculate the cleanup levels. 
  • Federal and state legal standards that must be considered when selecting cleanup levels.
  • A table of noncancer toxic effects of chemicals as listed in EPA's IRIS database.
