Frequently asked Questions for RBCA Tool Kit

Description:

The RBCA Tool Kit for Atlantic Canada is a region-specific customization of GSI's popular RBCA Tool Kit for Chemical Releases software. It is designed to complete the calculations required for Tiers I and II of the Atlantic RBCA Protocol, which was recently updated, including harmonization with the Canada-Wide Standard for Petroleum Hydrocarbons (CWS-PHC). The RBCA Tool Kit for Atlantic Canada utilizes default parameters, modeling options, and chemical data consistent with the Atlantic RBCA User Guidance.

This software is a comprehensive modeling and risk characterization package for Tier I and Tier II RBCA evaluations for petroleum release sites. The RBCA Tool Kit combines contaminant transport models and risk assessment tools to calculate baseline risk levels and derive Site Specific Target Levels (SSTLs) for a full array of soil, groundwater, and air exposure pathways. The ease-of-use and streamlined graphical interface make it an essential tool for handling RBCA calculations for both simple and sophisticated problems.

Features: So What's New?

Fate and Transport Models: Fate and transport models from Atlantic RBCA User Guidance, v. 2.1, for all exposure pathways. Multiple points of exposure (POEs) allow analysis of actual vs. potential points of exposure in the same run. An array of default transport parameters is provided for various soil types, including default coarse-grained and fine-grained soil types.

Transient Modeling Options: In addition to steady-state air, soil, and groundwater exposure models, the RBCA Tool Kit for Atlantic Canada allows transient groundwater modeling analysis to help estimate not only how high but how soon exposure could occur.

Chem/Tox Database: Extensive chemical list covers a wide array of chemicals, including organic solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons (including TPH fractions), pesticides, metals, and more. The user selects the chemical of concern and the key data loads automatically. Database can be expanded and customized by the user for state-specific values. Note: Regulatory authorities in Atlantic Canada currently approve the use of RBCA for petroleum constituents only.

Graphical User Interface: Streamlined graphical interface guides the user through the RBCA evaluation process. Features include convenient unit selections and conversions, the option to save and retrieve data for efficient file storage, and import and export compatibility with GSI's generic RBCA Tool Kit for Chemical Releases.

Reports: Produces report-quality output tables of baseline risk and calculated SSTLs and a report-ready summary for each chemical.
