Terrestrial Ecological Evaluation Process- Simplified Evaluation
Documentation Form [PDF Version]
If any one of the criteria apply to your site, you may end your simplified ecological evaluation.
| Criteria # (Concern) | Criteria | Response (Circle One) |
| 1 (exposure) | Is the total area of soil contamination at the site less than or equal to 350 square feet |
Yes (End TEE) / No |
| 2 (exposure) | Does land use at the site and surrounding area make substantial wildlife exposure unlikely based on completion of Table 749-1? | Yes (End TEE) / No |
| 3 (pathway) | Is there a potential exposure pathway from soil contamination to soil biota, plants, or wildlife? | Yes / No (End TEE) |
| 4 (contaminant) | Are the hazardous substances at your site listed in Table 749-2 and is (or will) their location in the soil at your site be at a depth not exceeding the point of compliance, and at concentrations that do not exceed the values provided in Table 749-2. | Yes (End TEE) / No
Note: You must perform bioassays for contaminants at your site if no table value is provided. |
| 5 (contaminant) | Will hazardous substances listed in Table 749-2 be present in the soil at your site within 6 feet of the ground surface at concentrations likely to be toxic, or with the potential to bioaccumulate, based on bioassays using methods approved by the department. | Yes / No (End TEE)
