This document provides useful guidance on the assessment of risks of petroleum hydrocarbons pollution affecting groundwater. It complements the Remedial Targets Methodology published during 2006.
The guidance is used by consultants when undertaking Hydrogeological Risk Assessments of hydrocarbon contamination.
Paulex Environmental Consulting has experience with the use of this guidance, together with practical and theoretical knowledge of the 2006 Remedial Targets Spreadsheet, used for groundwater risk assessment.
The Environment Agency has produced an additional guidance document on TPH risk assessment.
This document has not been released to the public at this time, but will shortly be available.
