Chapter NR 720 - Soil cleanup standards
Section NR 720.13 - Other pathways of concern

Responsible parties shall consider human food chain, surface water quality, and terrestrial eco-system pathways of exposure, when those pathways of exposure are of concern at a site or facility.

In some cases, the potential for contaminant migration or exposure to contamination through other pathways may be of concern at a site or facility. These situations could include contaminated soil in close proximity to a surface water where the potential for runoff from the site or facility to cause an impact on surface water quality exists or contaminated soil where potential for bioaccumulation and uptake through the food chain resulting in adverse impacts to human health or terrestrial ecosystems exists. This section requires responsible parties to establish appropriate residual contaminant levels protective of these pathways when necessary.
