A case of environmental contamination is 'serious' if >25 m3 soil or >100 m3 groundwater is contaminated above the intervention value.

The reference values for soil are adjusted for the organic matter (humus) content and soil fraction < 0.2 μm (lutum). Above values are calculated for a 'Standard Soil' with 10% organic matter and 25% lutum.
