area to eliminate <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>for</strong> dust problems. If necessary, <strong>the</strong> work area was reduced or<br />
work was stopped until <strong>the</strong> dust was controlled.<br />
Visual and real-time monitoring <strong>for</strong> dust and COCs was per<strong>for</strong>med in accordance with <strong>the</strong><br />
requirements of Section 8.0 of <strong>the</strong> SHERP (Shaw 2004e). Real-time monitoring <strong>for</strong> dust was<br />
per<strong>for</strong>med using Mini-Ram ® dust monitors that were strategically placed down-wind from <strong>the</strong><br />
areas of excavation. Time-integrated air sampling was per<strong>for</strong>med during activities at locations<br />
identified in <strong>the</strong> SHERP Addendum (Shaw 2007d) that had <strong>the</strong> potential to expose workers to<br />
concentrations that may exceed established permissible exposure limits and threshold limit<br />
values (PEL/TLV) <strong>for</strong> target compounds.<br />
3.3.8 Protection of Existing Monitoring Wells<br />
Prior to commencing construction activities at each load line, Shaw identified existing<br />
monitoring wells that had <strong>the</strong> potential to be impacted by its construction activities.<br />
Construction fencing was placed around <strong>the</strong> monitoring well locations to provide a visual<br />
reminder to workers and vehicle and equipment operators to maintain a safe working distance to<br />
prevent damage to <strong>the</strong> wells.<br />
3.4 EXCAVATION<br />
The duration of excavation activities was from August to November 2007 and proceeded as<br />
identified in <strong>the</strong> RAWP (Shaw 2007b). A total of 11,241 tons of contaminated soil and dry<br />
sediments were removed from 119 locations and disposed off-site as part of <strong>the</strong> Shaw remedial<br />
action at LLs 1-4. A total of 1,752 tons and 9,489 tons of soil and sediment were disposed as<br />
PCB soil and non-hazardous soil, respectively. The maximum depth of excavation was to 3 feet<br />
bgs; however, most excavations were typically to 2 feet bgs. The quantities of soils removed per<br />
load line are included in Table 3-1. Construction As-Built Drawings are presented in<br />
Appendix A and include <strong>the</strong> areas of soil and dry sediment removal at LLs 1-4.<br />
