 Changes to Washington State Regulations on Sediment Cleanup: Integral Tracks Progress With numerous cleanup projects now under way at contaminated sites in Washington State, environmental project managers must keep abreast of the latest revisions to sediment cleanup requirements. Slated for implementation in 2011, revised sediment management standards (SMS) are now being developed by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) to clarify cleanup requirements and expand the standards. Ecology has established a Sediment Workgroup to provide technical, scientific, and policy input for updating the SMS, as part of broader revision of the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) cleanup regulation targeted for the spring/summer of 2011. Integral scientists have been tracking the Sediment Workgroup discussions and the implications of the revisions. |

These more stringent toxicity criteria could lead to substantially lower soil and groundwater cleanup levels for Cr(VI).
