Notes:
1 = the values presented for zinc, chromium (III), copper and lead are added contaminant limits (ACLs) based on added concentrations. The EIL is calculated from summing the ACL and the ambient background concentration (ABC).
2 = the values presented for arsenic, naphthalene and DDT are generic EILs based on total concentrations. Insufficient information was available to calculate ACLs for these contaminants.
3 = The standard protection level is 99%
4 = The standard protection level is 80%
5 = The standard protection level is 60%
Refer to:
      * Schedules B5b, and B5c for further details on the EIL methodology and derivation of the EILs including their reliability
      * Schedule B1 for examples on the application of EILs
      * the EIL calculation spreadsheet for calculating EILs specific to site soils.
