OBJECTIVE OF P27
• Establishes procedures for using approved soil leaching tests in the development of site-specific numerical soil standards (SSSs) under Protocol 2 “Site-Specific Numerical Soil Standards”.
• Allows modification of matrix numerical soil standards for the site-specific factors protective of the groundwater pathway in the Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR), Schedule 3.1 Part 1, based on soil leaching test results at a contaminated site.
• Outlines the requirements, leachate methods and processes to establish a leachate concentration that can be used in Protocol 2.

LEACHATE TEST METHODS
BC VOC Soil Leachate Test • US EPA Method 1311 TCLP Zero Head Extractor (ZHE) – with modification • TCLP and SPLP ZHE leachate extraction are currently the only available
leachate test for soil contaminated with volatile organics • Leaching results for the listed VOC’s are generally not pH-dependant • The test is conducted with reagent water as the extraction fluid • Field sampling methods - minimize losses due to volatilization
6
Modifications: Holding times: Samples must be extracted within 48 hours from the time of sampling, or within 14 days if frozen within 48 hours of sampling – NEW! Sample collection: exclude large particles (>9.5 mm), no particle reduction

LEACHATE TEST METHODS
BC Soil Leachate Test • pH sensitive: 3 parallel batch extractions on soil at pH 5, 7 and 9 • 4th batch extraction is done at soil’s natural pH if < 4.5 or > 9.5 • Extraction run at liquid-solid ratio (L/S) of 20 mL/g-dry • Nitric acid or sodium hydroxide is added to each vessel to obtain
specified final pH value • The vessels are tumbled 48-hrs • Samples are filtered and preserved for chemical analysis • Constituent concentrations [mg/L] reported as a function of eluate
pH Note: Some substances tested using this method are not pH sensitive and therefore require only one leach test (at natural pH).

pH modification for pH sensitive substances: from 2 to 13 (US EPA) to 5 to 9 (BC): • The BC Soil Leachate Test was developed to best predict the
leaching and mobility of substances in various soil pH settings. • pH range spans reasonable variations in pH that could occur
[>90% of B.C. soil samples fall within pH 5 to 9] • Future changes in site conditions (e.g. the deposit of organic or
alkaline fill) would be captured by this range.

REDOX SENSITIVE INORGANIC SUBSTANCES
• In reducing conditions, the BC Soil Leachate Test may under predict actual field concentrations for certain redox sensitive species (literature review).
• Test for inorganics must not be used for the following redox-sensitive substances, unless it can be demonstrated that oxidizing conditions are present in the soil of interest:
arsenic; chromium; copper; manganese; and vanadium.

REDOX SENSITIVE INORGANIC SUBSTANCES
Oxidizing conditions are assumed to be present in: • Unsaturated mineral soil that is not organic soil; and • Saturated soil, provided that: pH + pE ≥ 13 where: pH = pH of water; pE (electron activity) = Eh/59; and Eh (oxidation-reduction potential of groundwater or porewater) is expressed in mV. • Measurement of pH and Eh in the field must be carried out in
accordance with standard industry practice (BC Field Manual)

soil for which leachate testing is to be performed • Maximum concentration(s) of the corresponding substance(s) in
groundwater in or below the soil for which leachate testing is to be performed
• Soil pH range, if applicable • Soil redox conditions, if applicable

greater than 300 m2 or a volume greater than 900 m3) • Contamination that contains randomly distributed substances,
such as in contaminated fill

INTERPRETATION OF LEACHATE RESULTS
Determination of Leachate Test Concentration (CL test) For substances that have at least three reported leachate concentrations (pH sensitive substances), obtained at pH leach values of 5, 7 and 9, and potentially a fourth corresponding to the “natural” site soil pH, select the highest reported leachate concentration. The substance concentration in soil leachate = the arithmetic mean of the highest leachate results measured for each soil sample tested. For all other substances that require a single leachate test (not pH sensitive), the substance concentration in soil leachate = the arithmetic mean of the leachate results measured for each soil sample tested. Note: A correction for highly soluble substances is required

INTERPRETATION OF LEACHATE RESULTS
NEW! – correction of test leachate concentrations • For substances that are highly soluble and have a low
distribution coefficient or organic carbon partitioning coefficient (Kd< 5 or a Koc <1000) a correction to the substance concentration in soil leachate is required
• For highly soluble substances, leachate concentrations
measured in the ministry approved tests are not equivalent to those that would be observed under field conditions because the relative amounts of soil and water used in the leachate tests are larger than what exists in natural soils

INTERPRETATION OF LEACHATE RESULTS
Substance concentrations in soil leachate for these substances are corrected using one of the following methods: 1. Multiply the substance concentration in soil leachate by 20 to
obtain a final estimate of the substance concentration in soil leachate; or
2. Calculate a test specific partition coefficient (Kdtest) for each soil sample. Using these results, calculate a field estimate of substance concentration in leachate (CLfield).

INTERPRETATION OF LEACHATE RESULTS

Kdtest = is the test specific distribution coefficient (L/kg) Ct = the total concentration of the substance in the soil sample tested (mg/kg) Ms = the total weight of the soil sample used in the leachate test (0.05 kg) Ctest = the substance concentration determined in soil leachate test(mg/L) V = the volume of the eluent used in the leachate test (1 L)
Kdtest = is the test specific distribution coefficient (L/kg) θw = water-filled porosity (0.119) θa = air-filled porosity (0.241) H’ = the dimensionless Henry’s law constant ρb = dry bulk density of the soil (1.7 Kg/L) CLfield = estimate of substance concentration in field leachate (mg/L)
The final estimate of substance concentration in soil leachate is the arithmetic mean of the calculated field leachate results (CLfield) for each soil sample tested.

Protocol 21
SSS cannot be derived for the following site-specific factors: • Intake of contaminated soil • Toxicity to soil invertebrates and plants • Livestock ingesting soil and fodder • Major microbial functional impairment

PROTOCOL 2 INTRODUCTION
The numerical soil standard is determined as the lowest value of: • the derived SSSs protective of the groundwater pathway(s) • the mandatory matrix numerical soil standards site, i.e. “intake of contaminated soil”
and “toxicity to soil invertebrates and plants” • other applicable matrix standards
When a SSS represents the lowest applicable numerical standard, the SSS can be use to determine if: • a site is contaminated • a contaminated site has been satisfactorily remediated • soil is considered acceptable for deposit at a receiving site

TAKEAWAYS ON EXAMPLES USING MODEL METHOD
Understand the hydrogeological system, the substance exceedances and how the GPM sensitivity can work in your favour • PHC contaminated sites in the Interior will likely benefit the most
• Easy to substitute in an appropriate infiltration • Worthwhile to collect foc for these sites • Additional benefit if one determines source dimensions, particularly source depth invokes an
uncontaminated vadose zone
• Inorganic contaminated sites, especially those in the lower mainland, are
unlikely to have significant changes to SSS • Easy to substitute in an appropriate infiltration • Dependent on the pH of the soil • Additional benefit if one determines source dimensions, particularly length – implications on
distance to point of compliance, mainly AW though • May need to consider Protocol 27 and the Leachate Test method
