Details of the request

This email is to lodge a request to obtain anonymised SPLP/total metals (and TCLP/total metals) data. The reason for the request is that there are a number of environmental professionals who would like to use this information as part of potential future papers/presentations to industry bodies. Any/all data which contains the concentrations of total metals against the same samples analysed via SPLP/TCLP methods would be of interest please. (SPLP = Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure; TCLP = Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure). My understanding is that at least some of this data has been used in the past (as part of the Technical Disposal to Land Guidelines review) and we have been advised that a formal OIA request would be the best way to obtain the data.
