Hi, I know there are problems with current the classification TPH in soils and the EA have a new guidance document on its way. This document has gone out to (limited) consultation. Does anyone have a copy yet or even an idea of how it might help to classify soils containing weathered and degraded coal tars? I am dealing with a site were soils contain a range of hydrocarbons which do not fit easily into the existing categories. Thanks, Jemma. __________________________ Jemma Kennedy Consultant E N V I R O N 8 The Wharf, Bridge Street Birmingham, B1 2JS Tel: +44 (0) 121 616 2180 Fax: +44 (0) 121 665 4670 __________________________
