STATEMENT OF WORK

Yellow Creek Shooting Range Lead Remediation

GENERAL INFORMATION

Background: The Yellow Creek Shooting Range is a public firing range located approximately 4 miles south of Lead, SD in Lawrence County. The range was developed in 1979 and has been utilized by the public for recreational shooting, police training and South Dakota Game Fish & Parks youth events. It had been leased under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act since 1979 until 2015. While it was under lease, there has been no documented cases of lead remediation at the site. The site is undergoing numerous construction projects to improve safety and functionality so the need to remove lead from the berms prior to them being relocated is needed. Berm relocation is not part of this contract. The Yellow Creek Range is remote, unmanned, unsecured facility with no electricity. It is currently available to the public at all hours of the day. The firing range is an outdoor facility of approximately 7 acres consisting of 100-yard, 200-yard and 300-yard berms. There is good access to the shooting range and within the shooting range to get equipment to the base of the berms.

Scope of Work: In carrying out work under this contract, the contractor shall furnish, unless otherwise specified, all labor, supervision, equipment, supplies, and materials necessary to accomplish removal of heavy metal particulates (lead) located at the Yellow Creek Shooting Range. All trash and shooting stand material will be removed prior to the contract start date.

The objective of this contract is to screen the material from the face of the berms, directly in front of the firing line and in front of target stands, to remove heavy metal particulates to provide a safe and healthy environment for the public. Once the range material has been processed, the material must be stockpiled at a designated location within the shooting range to be used on the reconstructed berms. Lead removed from the soil will be containerized and transported to an approved recycling center by the contactor.

The contractor will be required to remove the top 2” of surface material beginning at the firing line to the 100-yard berm (see attached map). This area was utilized for ground targets and contains bullet fragments throughout. There is also approximately 200 cubic yards of berm material to be processed from the 100-yard, 200-yard, and 300-yard berms. Berm material should be excavated to a depth of approximately 12” to capture as much of the lead as possible. The shooting range material in both the berms and on the surface is primarily rock (see attached pictures for reference).

Estimated Quantity of Material:

All work performed by the contractor under this contract shall be conducted in full compliance with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations.

Access to the site is by taking Highway 385 south from Deadwood, SD, turn right after approximately .3 miles onto Kirk Road. Once on Kirk Road, travel 1.7 miles to the west and turn south on Yellow Creek Road. Travel Yellow Creek Road for approximately 3.6 miles and the shooting range will be on the left.

While the contractor is on site, the shooting range will be closed to the public to ensure the safety of the contractor, employees, and equipment.
