We have updated the residential lead direct contact criterion to 200 ppm in soil. This is a draft value
which is subject to change. The criterion is generated by the EPA Lead Biokinetic Uptake Model
which considers exposure via drinking water, soil, ambient air, and diet. The associated drinking
water concentration is 1 ppb. Does the use of a Part 201 drinking water criterion of 1 ppb present
you with any heart burn?
Thanks for your input!
