Remediation of Soils and Dry Sediments at RVAAP 08-11 (LLs 1-4)<br />

4.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION<br />
Two waste streams were generated during <strong>the</strong> remediation of soils and dry sediments at LLs 1-4:<br />
solid and liquid wastes. Waste characterization determined whe<strong>the</strong>r a waste was hazardous or<br />
non-hazardous and dictated <strong>the</strong> disposal option and facility where <strong>the</strong> waste was disposed. All<br />
waste disposal and transport was per<strong>for</strong>med in accordance with sampling requirements of <strong>the</strong><br />
FSP (Shaw 2006b) and <strong>the</strong> handling and management requirements of <strong>the</strong> Waste Minimization<br />
and Management Plan (WMMP) (Shaw 2006g), respectively.<br />
4.1 SOLID WASTES<br />
Solid wastes generated as part of this removal action consisted of contaminated soils and dry<br />
sediments and expendable wastes such as personal protective equipment (PPE) (i.e., sample<br />
gloves and tyvek) and sampling equipment. Contaminated materials removed from <strong>the</strong><br />
excavations were stockpiled on-site. All handling of contaminated and solid waste materials was<br />
per<strong>for</strong>med in accordance with <strong>the</strong> WMMP (Shaw 2006g).<br />
4.1.1 Stockpiling at <strong>the</strong> Site<br />
Excavated soils were stored on-site temporarily prior to transporting to <strong>the</strong> approved disposal<br />
facilities. Excavated soils were stockpiled based on <strong>the</strong> anticipated COCs previously identified<br />
<strong>for</strong> each area of contamination as soils with different COCs had <strong>the</strong> potential to require alternate<br />
disposal facilities. Essentially, soils were segregated into two categories: PCB soils and<br />
non-hazardous soils. Soils with known PCB concentrations greater than 40 mg/kg were<br />
automatically placed into PCB soil stockpiles based on disposal facility requirements. Soil<br />
stockpiles were generated at maximum volumes of 1,000 cubic yards in order to ensure adequate<br />
waste characterization in accordance with <strong>the</strong> FSP (Shaw 2006b).<br />
When possible, stockpiles were staged on existing asphalt or concrete to minimize any potential<br />
impact to underlying natural materials. At a minimum, stockpiles were staged on two layers of<br />
10-mil poly liner and covered with a minimum of one-layer of 10-mil poly. The covers were<br />
secured with sand bags to prevent wind damage to <strong>the</strong> cover and stockpile.<br />
Storm water controls <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> protection of <strong>the</strong> stockpile areas were per<strong>for</strong>med in accordance with<br />
<strong>the</strong> SWPPP (Shaw 2007c). Soil berms were placed around <strong>the</strong> perimeter of <strong>the</strong> stockpiles to<br />
prevent storm water runoff or run-on.<br />
Stockpiles were inspected daily to ensure <strong>the</strong>y were properly secured and <strong>the</strong> covers were<br />
repaired or replaced in order to maintain integrity of <strong>the</strong> protection of <strong>the</strong> stockpiled soils in<br />
accordance with <strong>the</strong> WMMP (Shaw 2006g). Items found to be deficient were corrected<br />
immediately to prevent potential release of stockpiled soil or associated contaminants in <strong>the</strong><br />
soils.<br />
4.1.2 Stockpile Sampling<br />
The soil stockpiles were sampled and analyzed <strong>for</strong> waste disposal parameters in accordance with<br />
<strong>the</strong> requirements of <strong>the</strong> FSP (Shaw 2006b) and <strong>the</strong> WMMP (Shaw 2006g); however, disposal<br />
