Book Description
This document provides the rationale and guidance for developing environmental and human health soil quality guidelines for contaminated sites in Canada. It begins with background information on the National Contaminated Sites Remediation Program assessment and remediation framework, including the scientific tools developed to help assess and remediate contaminated sites. Information on the principles behind the soil quality guidelines derivation protocol is also included. This is followed by description of the processes for deriving environmental and human health guidelines. The protocol considers the effects of contaminated soil exposure on human and ecological receptors for given land uses (agricultural, residential/parkland, commercial, and industrial). The final section gives guidance on derivation of the final soil quality guideline. Appendices include information on methods and models employed in the ecological sections of the document, and on check mechanisms for indirect exposure from soil contaminants for the human health guidelines.
Review and Comparison of a Protocol for the Derivation of Ecological Effects-based and Human Health-based Soil Quality Criteria for Contaminated Sites, July 1993... and A Rationale for the Development of Soil, Drinking Water, and Air Quality Criteria for Lead, October 1993, Including Reference to Scientific Criteria Document for Multi-media Environmental Standards Development, March 1994...

Book Description
This document reviews two publications dealing with cleanup standards (quality criteria) for contaminated sites, one a generic protocol for deriving soil quality criteria and the other a proposed quality criterion for lead in Ontario soils. The review critiques each publication from the housing sector perspective, with a special emphasis on soils in urban centers. For each document, the review summarizes the rationale for the criteria, identifies the relative strengths of the arguments involved, and identifies limitations of the criteria such as scope, errors of omission, and simplifying assumptions. The review then assesses the criteria from the soil cleanup perspective, including their flexibility to deal with different building forms and systems and the predictability of costs and work required for compliance. Finally, the review compares derivation methods contained in the two publications.

Book Description
Two documents dealing with clean-up standards for contaminated sites were issued for comment. a) A generic protocol for deriving soil quality criteria, issued by the Subcommittee on Environmental Quality Criteria for Contaminated Sites, Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). b) A proposed quality criterion for lead in Ontario soils, issued by the Advisory Committee on Environmental Standards, Ontario Ministry of the Environment an d Energy (MOEE). This review critiques each of the consultation documents from the perspective of the housing sector, with a special emphasis on soils in urban centres. For each document, the review summarizes the rationale in layperson's terms, identifies the relative strengths of the arguments of which it is comprised and identifies the limitations for appropriateness from the viewpoint of the housing sector. Finally, the report compares derivation methods contained in the documents. The major difference between the two documents in terms of derivation methodology, is that the CCME protocol uses an approach based on risks to human health and ecology, while the lead rationale is based solely on health concerns. In terms of the application of the criteria, it appears that the Ontario lead rationale will be more restrictive vis-à-vis housing development.

Integrated Soil and Sediment Research: A Basis for Proper Protection

Pages : 810
Book Description
Increasing awareness of the irreversible and long-lasting impacts of deterioration and pollution of soils and sediments has had an important influence on environmental policies and research in the last decade. The complexity of the soil and sediment systems and its processes cannot be tackled properly unless scientists from different disciplines work together. With this in mind, a number of multidisciplinary soil research programmes have been started in various European countries. They involve different disciplinary approaches and they aim at different fields of application: agriculture, land use and town and country planning, drinking water supply, nature management. The results that are now appearing need to be integrated in a scientifically sound and useful way. The first European Conference on Integrated Research for Soil and Sediment Protection and Remediation was intended to foster this. The volume contains the edited and selected proceedings of this Conference.
