Notes: PCKOCWIN is a soil adsorption coefi cient estimation program and part of the Estimation Programs Interface Suite
(EPI Suite TM ) (USEPA, 2007a).

a

To calculate K d , the contaminant distribution coefi cient, K oc is multiplied by the fraction of soil organic matter, f oc , where
f oc is assumed to be 0.1.

b

Mobility classes from classii cation scheme proposed by Fetter (1993); IMM = immobile.
