(3) Absorption efficiencies used to calculate generic direct contact criteria are as follows:
(a) Chemical-specific data may be submitted to the department to support development
of a new generic criterion under R 299.6(9) or (10) and shall be used in this rule if
determined by the department to be the best available information.
(b) If chemical-specific data are not available, then the following default absorption
efficiencies shall be used:
(i) AEi shall be 50% for organic hazardous substances which exhibit a log octanol water
partitioning coefficient greater than 5 and a molecular weight greater than 200 grams per
mole or which are not ionizing organic compounds, and 100% for all other organic
hazardous substances.
(ii) AEi shall be 50% for inorganic hazardous substances.
(iii) AEd shall be assumed to be 10% for organic hazardous substances.
(iv) AEd shall be assumed to be 1% for inorganic hazardous substances.
(4) To demonstrate compliance with generic direct contact criteria, the criteria shall be
applied without regard to the depth of contaminated soil.
