Georgia RBCA Workbook 1.0: Comprehensive, Flexible, and Usable Risk-Based Corrective Action

This workbook provides a consistent framework for identifying receptors, assessing and remediating contamination in underground storage tank (UST) sites. It is comprehensive, flexible, and usable, allowing for application at any stage of investigation with limited data. The workbook focuses on the identification of petroleum chemicals of concern and receptors, including the risk of petroleum vapor intrusion. It is available now, with Workbook 2.0 set to be released by June 2019.

  4. Workbook Purpose • Provide a consistent framework for identifying receptors, assessing and remediating contamination. • Comprehensive- Identifies inhalation, ingestion and direct exposure pathways and receptors with a suite of petroleum chemicals of concern based on the release. • Flexible- Can be applied to sites at any stage of investigation and any age of release with fairly limited data and can be applied at the point of release or at an off-site contaminant plume. • Usable- Entering data should be easy.

  5. Comprehensive:Chemicals of concern • Selecting the petroleum product released determines the chemicals of concern that will be evaluated.

  6. Comprehensive:Receptors and site characteristics • Recognizes the risk of petroleum vapor intrusion and requires identification of structures that are potentially threatened. • The critical distance is 500 feet from the point of highest contamination or release point if known. • Are there residences? Basements? What are the soil types? How deep is water?

  7. Flexible • Can be used with limited data. The analytical information collected at a closure can be enough if receptors are identified. • As usual, more data provides a clearer picture and increases the validity of the site conceptual model. • Provides Alternate Concentration and Threshold Levels and lets the user know which exposure pathways are most threatened.

  8. Usable • Version 1.0 concentrated on making sure the science was in place behind the scenes. Creating the engine was the difficult part. • Version 2.0 concentrates on making data easier to input and clearing up confusing entry locations. • The UST program is dedicated to improvement and accepts all feedback. Updates to chemicals of concern and concentrations will be discussed annually with the EPD Land Branch Risk Assessment Unit.
