Site-specific target levels and Part 213 Submittals
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Remediation and Redevelopment Division (RRD) has updated the cover sheets for Part 213 submittals to reflect a change in the site-specific target level (SSTL) review process under Part 213. The previous reference to Section 20120b of Part 201 that specified a 90-day timeframe for the department to review site-specific criteria has been removed because it does not apply to SSTLs developed as part of corrective actions implemented under Part 213. Under Part 213, SSTLs are neither approved nor denied. Rather, corrective actions are determined to be protective of public health, safety, welfare, and the environment through the selective audit of Final Assessment Reports and Closure Reports.
The cover sheets for submittals under Part 213, including Initial Assessment Report (EQP4002), Final Assessment Report (EQP4000), Supplemental Information Report (EQP4001), and Closure Report (EQP4008) are updated with SSTL-related information, appearing in item #2 of the cover sheets as follows:
 The appropriate “yes” checkboxes must be marked to indicate that SSTLs (for any pathway) have been developed by the owner/operator (O/O) or that the 2020 volatilization to indoor air pathway (VIAP) screening levels are used as VIAP SSTLs with associated documentation. If the report does not rely on SSTLs developed by the O/O or the use of the 2020 VIAP screening levels, then the appropriate “no” checkboxes in item #2 of the cover sheet should be marked. There are no checkboxes on the cover sheets related to generic risk-based screening levels or RRD-developed SSTLs.
RRD will provide feedback on SSTLs as appropriate through the selective audit of Final Assessment Reports and Closure Reports. It is also RRD’s intent to provide feedback on SSTLs presented in reports that were not selected for audit or in non-auditable reports to ensure that corrective actions are protective of public health, safety, welfare, and the environment.
