4.3 WASTES TRANSPORTED FOR OFF-SITE DISPOSAL
Remediation of Soils and Dry Sediments at RVAAP 08-11 (LLs 1-4)
Page 4-4
Off-site disposal facilities were selected based on waste characterization data collected from the
applicable waste stream or other disposal facility, and regulatory requirements. Shipments of
waste were coordinated through the RVAAP facility manager and PIKA, the RVAAP operating
contractor. All records for wastes shipped for off-site disposal were maintained in accordance
with the WMMP (Shaw 2004h). The waste profiles and Shaw’s waste shipment tracking logs for
the materials transported for off-site disposal are presented in Appendices K and L included as
electronic attachments to this RACR, respectively. The waste generated, associated quantities
transported for off-site disposal and the respective disposal facilities are presented in Table 4-1.

In all, a total of 11,241 tons of soil and dry sediments were transported for off-site disposal by
481 trucks. The soils were segregated into two different waste classifications: PCB soils and
non-hazardous soils with low level PCBs. Shaw subcontracted American Waste Management
Services (AWMS) to oversee all aspects of transportation and delivery of the soils and dry
sediments to the allocated disposal facilities.
4.3.1.1 PCB Soils
Approximately 16% (1,752 tons) of the soils and dry sediment excavated as part of the
remediation activities at LLs 1-4 were classified as “PCB soils” due to known concentrations of
PCBs greater than 40 mg/kg based on previous investigations. Between November 15 and 29,
2008, a total of 71 trucks transported the PCB soils to the Environmental Quality Company
