This report provides scientifically defensible guidelines for land management of exploration and production (E & P) wastes containing metals. It provides the technical support for recommended maximum concentrations of 12 metals. The guidance values for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium and zinc were adopted directly from sewage sludge regulations promulgated by EPA in 1993. A risk-based approach was used to develop guidance values for barium and boron. The report also provides practical information on sample collection, analyses and calculation of waste application rates.
