6.3 Environmental Sample and Analysis

6.3.1 Asbestos and ACM

Friable asbestos contaminated material (ACM) mixed with soil may be present at some of the above sites. Anticipated types of ACM to be encountered in the subsurface: particles/pieces of transite siding, floor tile, pipe wrap, etc. This ACM soil also must be excavated and disposed.

Confirmation of successful ACM removal is the visual absence of ACM at the limits of excavation. The field staff responsible for visual identification of ACM will hold asbestos certification as required by Kansas Statutes Chapter 65 Article 53 and will be experienced in the identification of suspect ACM building materials. Excavated soil containing ACM shall be sampled for landfill disposal characterization purposes.

6.3.2 Confirmatory Soil Sampling

Following excavation of impacted soils, five-point composite confirmation samples shall be collected on each side slope and for every 900 ft2 of the base of the excavation when required by the site CMS. The sampling locations will be biased towards areas of soil staining and known areas of potential release. These features should be identified and marked prior excavation. If none of these features are identified, than the five aliquots will be collected from random locations. Samples shall be analyzed for site-specific COCs to confirm successful environmental remediation has been achieved.

6.3.3 Backfill and Site Restoration

Once any confirmation sampling indicates that project goals for COCs have been achieved, the excavations will be backfilled with clean soil. If an offsite borrow source is utilized, the Contractor shall ensure the material is “clean” fill in accordance with Section 00 30 00, Attachment 4 (KDHE Letter on Clean Backfill Requirements). Analysis for clean fill will include TAL metals, SVOCs, VOCs, Pesticides, PCBs, Dioxin/Furan and Explosives. Analytical results will be evaluated against the most recent Tier 2 Risk-Based Standards for Kansas (RSK) values for the Soil Pathway in a Residential Scenario. Backfill shall be compacted to a minimum of 85% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Method D-1557 at a moisture content within plus or minus 5% of the optimum moisture content. Lift thickness shall be no greater than 1 foot. The Contractor shall perform 1 density test per lift/site and every 1000 cubic yards/lift/site of random backfill. The Contractor shall perform at least 1 density test per excavation. Structural backfill under roadways shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Method D-1557 at a moisture content within plus or minus 3% of the optimum moisture content. Lift thickness shall be no greater than 8 inches t.

The Contractor shall perform 1 density test per lift/site and every 1000 cubic yards/lift/site for structural backfill. The Contractor shall perform at least 1 density test per excavation.

A pre-excavation survey shall be conducted by a professional land surveyor licensed in the State of Kansas or an approved alternate GPS method. All excavations and confirmation sampling locations shall be surveyed by a professional land surveyor licensed in the State of Kansas or an approved alternate GPS method. All survey data will be used as a basis for payment and shall be submitted as an attachment to the remediation report.

All asphalt roads and/or gravel roads disturbed by any excavations will be brought back to like condition before they were disturbed. Asphalt roads will be patched and gravel roads will be re-graveled and graded.

All disturbed areas will be graded to drain and reseeded using a seed mixture in accordance with Section 00 30 00, Attachment 5 (Approved Seed Mixtures).
