    Corrective Amendments to 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b

    [41 Pa.B. 1458]
    [Saturday, March 19, 2011]

     The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered discrepancies between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b, as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, and published at 41 Pa.B. 230 (January 8, 2011) and the official text published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 436, March 2011). Amendments to 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b published at 41 Pa.B. 230 were incorrectly codified.

     Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b is effective as of March 5, 2011, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

     The correct versions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 250.306, 250.307 and 250.605 and Appendix A, Tables 3b, 4a, 5a and 5b appear in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text.

    [IUR × ET × EF × ED × CF / (ATc × 365 days/yr × 24 hr/d × TF)] + (IUR × CF × TF)

     (g) For a regulated substance which is a carcinogen and is a volatile compound, the numeric value for the inhalation of volatiles from groundwater was calculated by using the appropriate residential or nonresidential exposure assumptions from subsection (h) according to the following equations:

    *  *  *  *  *

     (3) For vinyl chloride:

       MSC =                       TR                     
    [(IUR × ET × EF × ED × TF × CF) / (ATc × 365 days/year × 24 hr/day)] + (IUR × TF × CF)

    Notes: Modified from USEPA Region III Risk-based Concentration Table, dated October 20, 1995.

    N/A = Not Applicable

    1 Residential exposure to systemic toxicants is based on adult exposure, consistent with USEPA (1991).

    2 Residential exposure to carcinogens is based on combined child and adult exposure.

    3 Default Transfer Factor is as presented in USEPA's RAGS, Part B.

    4 The Combined Age-Dependent Adjustment Factor and Exposure Duration (AED) is calculated using the equation AED = ADAF<2 × ED<2 + ADAF2-16 × ED2-16 + ADAF>16 × ED>16, where ADAF<2 = 10, ED<2 = 2 yr, ADAF2-16 = 3, ED2-16 = 14 yr, ADAF>16 = 1, ED>16 = 14 yr.

    § 250.605. Sources of toxicity information.

     (a) For site-specific standards, the person shall use appropriate reference doses, reference concentrations, cancer slope factors and unit risk factors identified in Subchapter C (relating to Statewide health standards), unless the person can demonstrate that published data, available from one of the following sources, provides more current reference doses, reference concentrations, cancer slope factors or unit risk factors:

     (1) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS).

     (2) United States Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Values (PPRTV).
