RECAP Identification of the Area of Investigation AOI
RECAP The AOI is the zone contiguous to, and including, impacted media defined vertically and horizontally by the presence of one or more constituents in concentrations that exceed the limiting standard applicable for the option being implemented.
Identification of the AOI • Identify limiting standard for option • Compare limiting standard to concentration detected at each sampling location • Identify each location where the concentration > limiting standard • Define the horizontal and vertical boundaries of AOI

Identification of the AOI • Illustrate all sampling locations and AOI • Summarize AOI data set • All impacted media
Identification of the AOITiered Approach SO: Identify all sampling locations > SS Area > SS AOI for MO-1 If all locations < SS NFA
Identification of the AOITiered Approach MO-1: 1) AOI defined by locations > SS 2) Determine E/SC for AOI 3) Compare to MO-1 LRS, if < LRS NFA 4) If E/SC > LRS Id AOI for MO-2 MO-1 AOI (Area > SS) MO-2 AOI (Area > MO-1 RS)
Identification of the AOITiered Approach MO-2: 1) AOI defined by locations > MO-1 LRS 2) Determine E/SC for AOI 3) Compare to MO-2 LRS; if < LRS NFA 4) If E/SC > LRS Id AOI for MO-3 MO-2 AOI (Area > MO-1 RS) MO-3 AOI (Area > MO-2 RS)
Identification of the AOITiered Approach MO-3: 1) AOI defined by locations > MO-2 LRS 2) Determine E/SC for AOI 3) Compare to MO-3 LRS, if < LRS NFA 4) If E/SC > LRS Id area to be remediated MO-3 AOI (Area > MO-2 RS) Remediate Area > MO-3 RS
Identification of the AOISite-specific SoilSSi/ni • If AOC does not qualify for SO: • Area of impacted soil > 0.5 acre • all other criteria for SO are met • Develop site-specific SoilSSi or SoilSSni • site-specific area of impacted soil • Appendix H
Identification of the AOI Site-specific SoilSSi/ni • Identify limiting SS • site-specific SoilSSi or SoilSSni • Table 1 SoilSSGW • Identify AOI using limiting soil SS • May be re-iterative process
Identification of the AOI • If multiple chemicals present: • Identify one AOI that includes all chemicals • Identify an AOI for each chemical
Identification of the AOI • One AOI that includes all COCs: • Ex) BTEX B T, X AOI E
Identification of the AOI • Identification of an AOI for each COC: • Ex) BTEX AOI for B AOI for T, X AOI for E
Identification of the AOI • If only 1 or 2 sampling locations > SS or LRS: • Identification of an AOI is not possible • Options: • Evaluate under higher tier • If appropriate, re-sample area • Remediate impacted area(s)
