PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 BACKGROUND

3.1.1 General

Spoil from construction operations will consist of sands, silts, clays and gravels from the riverbed overburden; flat-lying, interbedded sedimentary rock consisting of soft claystone, siltstone, clayshale, siltshale coal/carbonaceous shale and a thin limestone.

3.1.2 Government-Furnished Disposal Site

Disposal of excavated material that meet Clean Fill Standards shall be performed at a Government furnished site (Victory Hollow Disposal Site) located in the Victory Hills area of Washington County, 34.5 river miles upstream of the Point in Pittsburgh, or approximately 7 miles downstream of Charleroi Locks and Dam. The Government-furnished disposal site shall be operated and maintained by the Contractor. Materials which do not meet Clean Fill Standards shall be disposed of at a commercially available, permitted facility. No materials shall be larger than 24 inches in any dimension when placed in the area.

3.1.3 Environmental Characteristics of Underwater Excavated Material

An environmental assessment program was developed to determine the presence or absence of chemical contaminants in the river sediments. This program was conducted by the Government. It also determined the extent of these sediments and whether this material exceeds the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Statewide Health Standards. The "Report on Environmental Sampling and Testing for Sediment Characterization, Pool 3 and Locks and Dam 4, Monongahela River Project, Elizabeth to Charleroi, PA", Dated 6 March 1998" was prepared. Of the total volume of overburden to be excavated, the report concluded that none of the material exceeds the non-residential standards and only a small percentage exceeded the residential standards. The material exceeding the residential standards was located in four areas, and has been removed under other contracts in three of those areas. The only remaining material exceeding residential standards is located in a single area directly downstream of the dam, and is outside the Contractor's work limits.

3.2 SPECIAL DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

3.2.1 Disposal of Soil and Rock

All underwater excavated soil and rock materials and excavated materials removed from the riverbed associated with construction under this contract, including excavation of materials from drilled shaft construction and from underwater excavation activities, shall be placed in the Government furnished disposal site at Victory Hollow if testing results indicate that it meets the Clean Fill Standards. Material shall be sampled in accordance with Section 02 32 16 SAMPLING, ANALYSES, AND STAGING OF SEDIMENT MATERIALS. Material to be disposed of at the Government-furnished disposal site shall be hauled to the disposal site using barges to transport the material to the off-loading facility. If the material complies with Clean Fill Standards, it shall be off-loaded from the barges and placed into suitable hauling equipment of a type to prevent spillage during hauling.

SECTION 02 42 00 Page 5

Materials distributed within the disposal site shall not be hauled over the improved public roads and streets. Hauling shall only occur on the unimproved areas shown. All other rubbish, debris and other solid wastes and materials not meeting the Clean Fill Standards shall be disposed of at a commercially available, permitted disposal facility. Transport and placement of all materials shall be in accordance with applicable Federal, state and local requirements. Disposal of underwater excavated material in streams or in the river will not be permitted. The Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that the soft and saturated excavated material may require temporary placement in the temporary holding area at the off loading site, to allow excess water to drain from the material.

3.2.2 Disposal at the Government-Furnished Disposal Site

Material disposal at the Government-furnished disposal site at Victory Hollow shall be performed only in those areas designated on the contract drawings. Hazardous, toxic, and radiological wastes (HTRW) shall not be disposed of at Victory Hollow.
