Contaminants of Concern Sample Clauses

Contaminants of Concern. Table 2 lists potential contaminants of concern (COCs) and additional optional contaminants for dredged material evaluation. The COCs listed in Table 2 are EPA priority pollutants and have been published in the Federal Register, “National Recommended Water Quality Criteria; Republication” (EPA, 1998). Target Detection Limits (TDLs) for the parameters listed in Table 2 plus other potential contaminants for sediment, tissue and water analyses are provided in Appendix C. Generally, if one or more COCs are detected in the sediments, synergistic effects are possible and Tier III level bioassays shall be conducted for evaluation of benthic and water column impacts. If no sediment chemistry data exist for a dredging project, analysis for the complete list of COCs in Table 2 will be performed. Where sediment chemistry data exist and contaminants of concern are known for a specific project, the basic COC list for that project may be reduced or supplemented by mutual agreement of the USACE, New Orleans District or Galveston District and EPA, Region 6. For example, if a pulp and paper mill or organic chemical plant discharges to a channel proposed for dredging, dioxin may be added to the list of contaminants of concern. Similarly, if a ship maintenance dock or boat marina is proposed to be dredged, tributyltin may be included. Conversely, if a particular COC has not historically been detected in the sediments from a specific project and no new sources of the COC in question are identified, that COC may be removed from the list of COCs for that specific project. Contaminants detected on gas chromatograms or reconstructed ion chromatograms that are not listed in Table 2 should be noted in the final project evaluation.

Contaminants of Concern. The site contaminants of concern (COCs) are determined based on the site history and findings of the initial environmental assessments conducted at the site. Based on these findings, COCs associated with the site include the following: ⦁ Chlorinated solvents: PCE, generally associated with dry cleaning operations, has been detected in soil vapor at concentrations exceeding the NMED VISL for industrial/ occupational land use. PCE degradation products trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2- dichloroethene (DCE), trans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride are also considered potential COCs.

Contaminants of Concern. PRGs/cleanup values will need to be determined for COCs other than lead and PCBs. Also, it will need to be shown that addressing lead and PCBs as the main risk drivers will address the other COCs as well.

  • Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

  • Hazardous Wastes In the event that the Mortgaged Property, related to a Mortgage Loan which is being considered for liquidation by foreclosure or the transfer of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, contains, and the Servicer has reason to believe that it contains, hazardous or regulated substances which may impose liability, for damages, remediation or otherwise, upon the owner of such Mortgaged Property pursuant to Federal, State or local law, the Servicer shall not, except with the express prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which approval makes specific reference to the presence of such hazardous or regulated substances, undertake or continue the process of foreclosure with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

  • Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location which could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law, except insofar as any such violation or liability referred to in this paragraph, or any aggregation thereof, could not reasonably be expected to result in the payment of a Material Environmental Amount.

  • Hazardous Waste The term “Hazardous Materials”, as used in this lease shall mean pollutants, contaminants, toxic or hazardous wastes, or any other substances, the use and/or the removal of which is required or the use of which is restricted, prohibited or penalized by any “Environmental Law”, which term shall mean any federal, state or local law, ordinance or other statute of a governmental or quasi-governmental authority relating to pollution or protection of the environment. Tenant hereby agrees that (A) no activity will be conducted on the premises that will produce any Hazardous Substance, except for such activities that are part of the ordinary course of Tenant’s business activities (the “Permitted Activities”) provided said Permitted Activities are conducted in accordance with all Environmental Laws and have been approved in advance in writing by Landlord; Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any required permits and paying any fees and providing any testing required by any governmental agency; (B) the Premises will not be used in any manner for the storage of any Hazardous Substances except for the temporary storage of such materials that are used in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business (the “Permitted Materials”) provided such Permitted Materials are properly stored in a manner and location meeting all Environmental Laws and approved in advance in writing by Landlord; Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any required permits and paying any fees and providing any testing required by any governmental agency; (C) no portion of the Premises will be used as a landfill or a dump; (D) Tenant will not install any underground tanks of any type; (E) Tenant will not allow any surface or subsurface conditions to exist or come into existence that constitute, or with the passage of time may constitute a public or private nuisance; (F) Tenant will not permit any Hazardous Substances to be brought onto the Premises, except for the Permitted Materials described above, and if so brought or found located thereon, the same shall be immediately removed, with proper disposal, and all required cleanup procedures shall be diligently undertaken pursuant to all Environmental Laws.

  • Hazardous Substances The words "Hazardous Substances" mean materials that, because of their quantity, concentration or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics, may cause or pose a present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly used, treated, stored, disposed of, generated, manufactured, transported or otherwise handled. The words "Hazardous Substances" are used in their very broadest sense and include without limitation any and all hazardous or toxic substances, materials or waste as defined by or listed under the Environmental Laws. The term "Hazardous Substances" also includes, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos.
