Reportable Concentration Tables for Soil and Groundwater

Please select the links below to access NDEP Reportable Concentration lookup tables for soil and groundwater. The Reportable Concentrations shown in these tables supersede and replace all prior versions of the NDEP Reportable Concentration tables, including those published in the 2014 NDEP Draft Guidelines for Discovery Events. However, the release reporting guidelines outlined in the 2014 NDEP Draft Guidelines for Discovery Events are still applicable and should be referenced to determine whether exceedance of the below Reportable Concentrations triggers release reporting requirements.

 

Guidance Documents

This guidance has been drafted by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Corrective Actions. Guidance drafted by the BCA is intended to be advisory and is not enforceable by nature. Guidance provides greater detail than regulations or policies on certain methods or approaches acceptable to the Division but does not rule out any other method or approaches implemented by the regulated community.  Guidance does not contain enforceable provisions, as it has not been developed through an administrative rule making process; however, the Division always welcomes feedback from the public and the regulated community on the content of guidance.


2025 CEM Workshops

On April 22 and 24, 2025, NDEP's Bureau of Corrective Actions hosted two workshops for certified environmental managers who work on cases involving environmental site assessments, soil and groundwater remediation, leaking underground storage tanks, mobile releases, and the Nevada Petroleum Fund. Links to the presentations from these workshops are provided below.
