Designation:D659710Standard Practice forAssessment of Attaining Clean Up Level for Site Closure1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6597;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the steps necessary to determine ifa site is ready for closure with emphasis on general samplingtechniques and how to determine if the agreed upon level ofremediation has been achieved.1.2 A minimum of statistical procedures is used in thispractice.1.3 The standard practice does not address radioactive wastesites nor does it cover every situation that can occur in the field.It does cover the following general sampling techniques:soilsampling,swipe sampling of buildings and equipment,surfaceimpoundments,waste piles,and layered tanks.It does notcover drum sampling,general water sampling and monitoringwells and their construction.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.the values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices to determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1452 Practice for Soil Exploration and Sampling by AugerBoringsD1586 Test Method for Penetration Test(SPT)and Split-Barrel Sampling of SoilsD1587 Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils forGeotechnical PurposesD3550 Practice for Thick Wall,Ring-Lined,Split Barrel,Drive Sampling of SoilsD4547 Guide for Sampling Waste and Soils for VolatileOrganic CompoundsD4687 Guide for General Planning of Waste SamplingD5088 Practice for Decontamination of Field EquipmentUsed at Waste SitesD5283 Practice for Generation of Environmental Data Re-lated to Waste Management Activities:Quality Assuranceand Quality Control Planning and ImplementationD5434 Guide for Field Logging of Subsurface Explorationsof Soil and RockD5451 Practice for Sampling Using a Trier SamplerD5681 Terminology for Waste and Waste ManagementD5730 Guide for Site Characterization for EnvironmentalPurposes With Emphasis on Soil,Rock,the Vadose Zoneand Groundwater(Withdrawn 2013)3D5792 Practice for Generation of Environmental Data Re-lated to Waste Management Activities:Development ofData Quality ObjectivesD6009 Guide for Sampling Waste PilesD6051 Guide for Composite Sampling and Field Subsam-pling for Environmental Waste Management ActivitiesD6232 Guide for Selection of Sampling Equipment forWaste and Contaminated Media Data CollectionActivitiesD6250 Practice for Derivation of Decision Point and Confi-dence Limit for Statistical Testing of Mean Concentrationin Waste Management DecisionsD6311 Guide for Generation of Environmental Data Relatedto Waste Management Activities:Selection and Optimiza-tion of Sampling DesignE1728 Practice for Collection of Settled Dust Samples UsingWipe Sampling Methods for Subsequent Lead Determi-nation2.2API Standard:API Standard 2015 Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks41This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.01 onPlanning for Sampling.Current edition approved Dec.1,2010.Published January 2011.Originallyapproved in 2000.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as D6597-00(2006).DOI:10.1520/D6597-10.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from American Petroleum Institute(API),1220 L.St.,NW,Washington,DC 20005-4070,http:/www.api.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.3 Federal Standards:Title 40,Code of Federal Regulation(CFR),Part 245,5Title 40,Code of Federal Regulation(CFR),Part 265,Guidance on Demonstrating Equivalence53.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod refer to Terminology D5681.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 clean up level,na concentration of a compound orelement,in a defined volume of material,that is allowed toremain on a site.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe numerical level usually is deter-mined during the DQO process using a mean,median,orpercentage value based upon health risk,fate and transportconsideration,site location and intended use.3.2.2 closure,nall waste and manufactured residue areremedi
