TRRP Protective Concentration Levels

The TRRP Tier 1 protective concentration levels (PCLs) are the default cleanup standards in the Texas Risk Reduction Program.

June 2012 Tables

Following are the June 2012 Tier 1 PCL and surface water RBELs tables. First save the file to your computer then open it in the application.

TPH Spreadsheets

Use this spreadsheet to assist in the calculation of TPH PCLs. The spreadsheet was updated in August 2011.

Tier 2 PCL Equations

A person has the option of using Tier 2 PCLs. These PCLs are calculated using site-specific inputs in the Tier 2 equations.

Additional Guidance

Refer to this November 21, 2002 memo for information on implementing the revised arsenic MCL.

See this document for COCs for which Calculation of a Human Health PCL is not Required (revised March 30, 2007).

If your COC is not listed in the Tier 1 PCL table, you may obtain COC chemical and physical properties information by following the procedure on the How to Request Tier 1 PCLs, Chemical/Physical Properties, and Toxicity Values for COCs page.

As part of the TRRP rule, the agency developed state-wide background concentrations for metals. You may use these values in place of site-specific background concentrations. The Texas Specific Median Background concentrations are found in the TRRP rule at §350.51(m), and are available here for your convenience.

Refer to this guidance on Chromium.
