7.0 FINAL INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATION
7.1 REMEDIAL ACTION CONTRACT INSPECTIONS
Field inspections were performed by the on-site QC Manger using the USACE three-phase
control system consisting of the preparatory, initial and follow-up inspections phases in
accordance with the Quality Assurance Management Plan (QAMP; Shaw 2006d). Deficiencies
observed were noted in the daily reports and corrected as soon as reasonably possible to ensure
compliance with contract requirements. Representatives of the USACE, Ohio EPA, and RVAAP
were on-site to inspect the remediation activities at regular intervals and conveyed any concerns
or discrepancies to the on-site Shaw management for the necessary action.
7.2 HEALTH AND SAFETY
All remedial action field activities were performed in accordance with the requirements of the
SHERP (Shaw 2004e) and its associated addendum (Shaw 2007d). No health and safety issues
were encountered during the implementation of field activities. All personnel requiring access to
the LLs 1-4 maintained current HAZWOPER certification. Daily safety briefings were held
every morning and included all field personnel. Monthly project safety audits/inspections were
carried out by both the on-site Shaw Safety Officer and the Shaw Project Manager or his
designee.
7.3 REMEDIAL ACTION COMPLETION
On December 10, 2007, a walkthrough and inspection was performed at LLs 1-4 by members of
USACE, the Ohio EPA, BRACD, Shaw, and PIKA. The purpose of the walkthrough was to
review Shaw’s soil removal activities at LLs 1-4 and decontamination/demolition activities that
were performed simultaneously by PIKA at LLs 2-4 and to provide comment and
recommendation prior to issuing a certificate of completion. On January 9, 2008, the Ohio EPA
submitted a letter (Ohio EPA 2008a) to Mr. Mark Patterson, the RVAAP Facility Manager,
indicating that “the physical remedial action of soil and dry sediment removal has been
completed in accordance with the intents and provisions of the Interim ROD for LLs 1-4”. The
letter contained reservations that follow-up re-grading and seeding would be required at the LLs
1-4 excavation areas once the weather was conducive to such activities and that subsequent to
these activities, a final walkthrough would be conducted.
