3.4. TOXIC SUBSTANCES

NOTE: There is the potential for many of the soils being removed from MHAFB by construction activities to contain hazardous constituents. Suspect soils, as determined by 366 CES/CEIE, require testing prior to disposal to determine the proper disposal method. Pesticides are a common major concern and can be expected in the soil under all building slabs, and outside and inside of the foundation walls of any structures built through 1989. All soil meeting this criterion should be returned to the originating excavation point to the maximum extent practicable. When working in an area where a building has been demolished and the foundation is not identifiable, the area suspected is considered for possible residual pesticide materials. Under no circumstances will the soil be transported off the project site unless prior approval has been obtained from 366 CES/CEIE through the Contracting Officer. The definition of “project site” is the immediate vicinity of the construction/demolition activities within the project boundaries.

During excavation, there is a potential to inadvertently encounter asbestos/cement

(transite) pipe. MHAFB has procedures in place that Contractors must follow in the event that transite is inadvertently encountered. Procedures will be covered during the Pre-Con meeting.

3.4.1. Soils

3.4.1.1. Do not transport soil off the project site unless prior approval has been obtained from 366

CES/CEIE through the Contracting Officer. The definition of “project site” is the immediate vicinity of the construction/demolition activities within the project boundaries.

3.4.1.2. Test soils coming on to MHAFB as fill material. Analytical analysis includes Method 8260 for

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Method 8270 for Semi-volatile Organic Compounds

(SVOCs), Methods 6010/7470 for RCRA (8) Metals, Method 8081 for Pesticides, and Method

8082 for PCBs to demonstrate non-contaminated before being accepted for use on the project site. Determination of the number of samples should be determined by an experienced environmental professional.
