Example of highly organic soil

The evaluation of lab results for highly organic soil samples can easily lead to misinterpretation of these sites. If results are simply interpreted and compared to the Alberta Tier 1 numerical guidelines, these sites often appear to be contaminated, even on sites that are supposed to be considered controls. This raises concerns that the contaminate may have traveled further off site than expected which can lead to unnecessary cleanup costs and to the needless disturbance of these ecologically sensitive sites.
