Glyphosate cleanup levels by state
- CAS 1071-83-6
- 3 states
CAS 1071-83-6 is in the cleanup-level tables of 3 states in this handbook: Florida (Glyphosate [or Roundup]), Pennsylvania (GLYPHOSATE) and Texas (Glyphosate). Each state's numbers are below as its agency prints them. The states run different programs and do not define their values the same way, so a number from one is not the same measure as a number from another. A state that lists the substance under another CAS number, or without one, is not shown here.
Florida
- FL DEP
- Chapter 62-777 CTLs
- February 2005
For Glyphosate [or Roundup], DEP's cleanup target level tables print 700 ug/L as the groundwater criterion, 8,800 mg/kg for residential direct exposure to soil and 3.3 mg/kg for soil leachability based on groundwater.

- 8,800mg/kg 8800 Direct Exposure - Residential Table II: Soil Cleanup Target Levels
- 3.3mg/kg Leachability Based on Groundwater Table II: Soil Cleanup Target Levels
Pennsylvania
- PA DEP
- Act 2 Statewide Health Standards
For GLYPHOSATE, DEP's Statewide Health Standard tables print 700 μg/L for residential groundwater in a used aquifer with TDS up to 2500, 22,000 mg/kg for residential soil direct contact from 0 to 15 feet, and two residential soil to groundwater values for a used aquifer with TDS up to 2500: 70 mg/kg as 100 X GW MSC and 620 mg/kg as the generic value.
- 700μg/L R Table 1: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Groundwater Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500
- 22,000mg/kg 22000 0-15 feet Table 3a: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: A. Direct Contact Numeric Values Residential
- 70mg/kg 100 X GW MSC Table 3b: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: B. Soil to Groundwater Numeric Values Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500, Residential
- 620mg/kg Generic Value Table 3b: Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Organic Regulated Substances in Soil: B. Soil to Groundwater Numeric Values Used Aquifers, TDS ≤ 2500, Residential
Texas
- TCEQ
- TRRP Tier 1 PCLs
- February 6, 2025
For Glyphosate, TCEQ's Tier 1 table prints 67,000 mg/kg for TotSoilComb and 29 mg/kg for GWSoilIng (residential soil, 0.5 acre source area), and 0.7 mg/L for GWGWIng (residential groundwater).
- 67,000mg/kg 6.7E+04 TotSoilComb Table 1: Tier 1 Residential Soil PCLs 0.5 acre source area
- 29mg/kg 2.9E+01 GWSoilIng Table 1: Tier 1 Residential Soil PCLs 0.5 acre source area
- 0.7mg/L 7.0E-01 GWGWIng Table 3: Tier 1 Groundwater PCLs - Residential and Commercial/Industrial Residential
