In this Episode 16, we discuss what is a "Threshold of Interest" and a "Reportable Quantity."

In the Remediation Industry, a "Threshold of Interest" is a contamination level that is the goal of the remediation. This level can have many variables that make it differ. It can vary State to State and for different types of contaminates. Typically, The US EPA has recommendations that are given to States and States can choose to follow The US EPA's recommendation or if they want to deviate from their recommendation.

In the Remediation Industry, a "Reportable Quantity" is a quantity level that can be measured in gallons or barrels that is spilled or released, whereby, the event must immediately be reported to the related Regulatory Bodies. Again, these can differ State to State and can vary depending on the type of contaminate that has been spilled or released. Typically, The US EPA has recommendations that are given to States and States choose to follow The US EPAs recommendations or if they want to deviate from their recommendation.

It is important that if you are in the Remediation Industry, that you become familiar with both of these for your State for the types of contaminates that you most often remediate. You can do this by researching online or reaching out and asking your State Regulatory Bodies directly.
