The TCEQ has made several minor revisions to the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP) Tier 1 Protective Concentrations Levels (PCLs) which were released in early September 2014.  The revised tables, dated November 12, 2014 will replace the September 2014 tables.
You can access the revised tables using the link: http://www.tceq.texas.gov/remediation/trrp/trrppcls.html.
The 2014 PCL tables are a single Microsoft Excel workbook, with each table on a separate worksheet.  The tables are also presented as a print only Adobe Acrobat portable document format (PDF) file.  The Excel file and the PDF file each contain PCL tables 1 through 10 and the supporting tables in the following order:
