1.12 CONTAMINATED MATERIAL

A. General

1. It is possible that the Contractor may encounter contaminated material (soil and/or water) during excavation activities. This specification identifies requirements for handling and disposing contaminated media.

B. Definitions

1. “Contaminated material” is defined as soil, water, free product, Underground Storage Tanks (UST), buried abandoned utility lines containing residual or free product, solid waste, treated wood waste, chemical containers, or other solid, liquid, or gas substances with contamination levels above background levels.

2. “Hazardous substances” shall mean those substances or materials defined in the ORS 465.200, as amended.

3. “Release” shall have the meaning as defined in ORS 465.200, as amended.

4. “Environmental laws” shall mean any applicable statute, law, ordinance, order, consent decree, judgment, permit, license, code, covenant, deed, common law, treaty, convention, or other requirement pertaining to protection of the environment, health or safety, natural resources, conservation, wildlife, waste management or disposal, hazardous substances, or pollution, including but not limited to regulation of releases to air, land, water, and groundwater.

C. Execution

1. Discovery of Contaminated Material

a. In the event that the Contractor, during the course of construction or during any other activities authorized under this contract, should encounter suspected contaminated material or any other materials suspected of posing a threat to human health and the environment, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer immediately and manage according to requirements identified below.

2. Discovery of Contaminated Soil

a. Contractor shall note evidence of contamination (odor, visual staining of soil, free liquid product seeping from soil, sheen on groundwater, etc.) and note location of evidence on a sketch of the excavation and provide to the Engineer.

b. Contractor shall report the discovery to the Engineer immediately. Contractor shall stop all excavation activities and secure the site to prevent entry by the public. The excavation shall not be backfilled. Protect all open excavations with berms, plates, and fencing. Contractor may continue with work in other non-contaminated areas.

c. Contractor shall assist Engineer in collecting sample(s) of suspected contaminated media for testing and characterization. Contractor shall allow 21 days, at no cost to

SECTION 01 10 00 – PAGE 5

Owner, for testing, results, and instructions as to how to proceed with contaminated materials.

e. Contractor will transport and dispose of contaminated material at an approved disposal/treatment facility.

f. Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a copy of the contaminated soil disposal receipt.

3. Handling of Contaminated Soil

a. After approval from the Engineer, excavate the soil in a manner that prevents commingling of contaminated and non-contaminated soil. Engineer will make determination (based on soil saturation) if contaminated soil can be directly transported to a treatment or disposal facility, or if soil needs to be stockpiled to reduce water content. Engineer will determine when stockpiled soil can be transported off-site.

b. Contractor will be responsible for stockpiling contaminated soil in containers or on impervious surface to prevent the spread of contamination. Any water runoff from the contaminated soil stockpile area(s) must be contained by Contractor and handled as contaminated water.

c. Minimize movement of excavation equipment over or through contaminated soil to prevent movement of contaminated soil into areas where no contaminated soil exists.

d. Stockpiles will be created on an approved site and shall be surrounded by a fence to limit access. The stockpiles must be covered and bermed during periods of rainfall to prevent run-on and run-off. The stockpiles shall be covered with a minimum 10-mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic during periods of strong winds, nightfall, over the weekends, or during extended work stoppages. If dust is observed coming from the stockpiles, the stockpiles shall be either covered or the dust controlled with water.

e. Maintain excavation equipment in good working order. Prevent spillage of oil, fuel, or hazardous substances from equipment. In particular, promptly repair oil leaks from equipment and clean up any contaminated soil.

4. Transport of Contaminated Materials

a. Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, or local laws, codes, and ordinances that govern or regulate contaminated substance transportation.

Contaminated soils placed in stockpiles shall be loaded into trucks in a manner that prevents the spilling or tracking of contaminated soil into areas of the site with uncontaminated soil. Loose material falling onto the exterior of the truck during loading shall be removed before the truck leaves the loading area. Any material collected in the loading area shall either be placed back into the truck or back into the stockpile. If loading areas are unpaved, the surface soil shall be sampled at the conclusion of the loading activities to confirm that contaminated soil is not present. If loading areas are paved, any loose soil shall be cleaned from the pavement at the conclusion of the loading activities.

b. Specific truck haul routes shall be established before beginning off-site contaminated media transport. On-site truck routes shall be established to minimize or prevent movement of trucks over contaminated soils. Off-site truck routes shall be established

SECTION 01 10 00 – PAGE 6

to reduce the risk of releases of contaminated soils and impact on local traffic. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that loaded truck weights are within acceptable limits. All trucks shall be covered before they leave the loading area.

c. The Contractor shall ensure that all drivers of vehicles transporting contaminated substances have in their possession during transport all applicable Oregon State and local vehicle insurance requirements, valid driver's license, and vehicle registration and license. The Contractor shall be responsible for informing all drivers of transport vehicle about:

1) The nature of the material transported.

2) Required routes to and from the off-site thermal treatment or disposal facility.

3) Applicable County street regulations and requirements, and State of Oregon Department of Transportation codes, regulations, and requirements.

4) The County's requirement for proper handling and transportation of the substances.

d. The Contractor shall not allow contaminated substances to be spilled or tracked off-site at any time during the Project. Trucks used for the transportation of contaminated substances off-site shall be watertight, substance compatible, licensed, insured, and permitted pursuant to federal, state, and local statutes, rules, regulations, and ordinances.

e. If contaminated media is discarded prior to removal of contaminated material, the price per cubic yard of soil materials and price per 100 gallons of contaminated water will be negotiated with Owner.

1.13 WORK WITH EXISTING ASBESTOS WATER PIPELINES

A. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements of the State of Oregon, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) with respect to the safe handling, removal, and disposal of asbestos cement pipe, including all reporting requirements.

1.14 INADVERTENT DISCOVERY PLAN FOR CULTURAL RESOURCES
