Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) : guidance document on federal interim groundwater quality guidelines for federal contaminated sites.: En14-91/2016E-PDF
"The Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) was established in 2005 as a 15-year program with a commitment of $3.5 billion from the Government of Canada. The program helps federal departments, agencies, and consolidated Crown corporations (referred to as custodians) determine if a site is contaminated and, if so, to what extent. Where appropriate, it provides financial assistance to deal with the environmental and human health risks that these sites may pose ... This report is organized in six sections. Section 1 provides general background information on the FCSAP program and the FIGQG. Section 2 provides general background on groundwater. Section 3 describes the basis of the FIGQG. Section 4 describes how the generic numerical guidelines (Tier 1) are to be applied and their limitations. Section 5 explains how these Tier 1 guidelines can be modified for site-specific conditions to generate Tier 2 values. Section 6 provides relevant reference guidance documents that can be used to derive site-specific risk assessment guidelines (Tier 3)"--Introduction, pages 1-2.
