SCOPE OF WORK

1. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be responsible for executing the Contract by: conducting the required environmental restoration services for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on behalf of the U.S. Army Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) office; addressing any and all environmental, scheduling, and regulatory issues;

and assuming contractual liability and responsibility for the achievement of the objectives for the Building 1206 Soil Removal at the former Kansas Army Ammunition Plant (KSAAP), Parsons, Kansas. Figures 1 and 2 show the locations of KSAAP and the 1200 Area, respectively. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, standard industry practices, and fulfill the requirements of the Scope of Work (SOW) in a manner that is consistent with any applicable orders or permits, all existing cleanup agreements or guidance for the KSAAP and relevant Department of Defense (DOD) and USACE policy for the duration of the Contract.

The Contractor shall perform all necessary environmental remediation work as required to meet the requirements of this SOW. The SOW is being conducted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) with regulatory coordination through the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment (KDHE) Bureau of Environmental Remediation (BER) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII.

The documentation provided in Attachment 1 represents the most recent and appropriate documentation available for the tasks identified in this SOW. Documents include the following:

Attachment 1a - Final Remedial Action Report, 1200 Area, 2011 Attachment 1b - Final Corrective Measures Implementation Report, 1200 Area Settling Lagoons/Effluent

Ditches and Pond 3 Corrective Measures Design/SLERA Investigations and Removal Action, 2013 Attachment 1c - Draft Pre-Design Investigation Work Summary, Building 1206, 2018 Attachment 1d - Building 1206 Construction Drawings (various years)

The objectives of the 1200 Area work are to:

Excavate hexavalent chromium contaminated overburden soil from underneath Building 1206 (Figure 3) Dispose of contaminated soil and concrete off-site Backfill to pre-existing grades with clean off-site borrow, restore concrete slab, and restore foundation stabilization elements

1.1. Site Description

The former KSAAP is located in Labette County, Kansas, approximately 20 miles north of the Oklahoma state line and 30 miles west of the Missouri state line, near the town of Parsons (Figure 1). The 1200 Area (formerly the Casing Rework Area) refers to approximately 49 acres in the south-central portion of KSAAP (Figure 2).

Chromium contamination at the site resulted from casing rework of 105-millimeter cartridges, which started in Building 1206 in 1953. Part of this rework process involved cleaning the casings with a chromic acid solution, the first such reported use of this chemical in the 1200 Area. At present, the site is mostly grasslands with five brick and block buildings, a system of engineered drainage ditches, a system of stem lines, and a storm water retention pond at the southeastern end of the site (Pond #1).

Two earthen-type, unlined lagoons, southern settling lagoon (SSL) and northern settling lagoon (NSL) located within the 1200 Area were used for settling and storage of wastewater containing chromic acid solution and rinse water, respectively, generated from casing reworking. Discovery of the former settling lagoons, which were filled in and abandoned after casing rework operations ceased, occurred during implementation of the Soils Corrective Measures, after the 2004 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Assessment and 2005 RCRA Facility Investigation.

Wastewater was reportedly discharged directly into the SSL without treatment. Water from the SSL did not drain off-site, but instead either evaporated or was allowed to infiltrate into the ground. Detergent used in the casing rework process was discharged to a ditch located between the two lagoons to a point where it entered a drainage ditch on the west side of the lagoons. The rinse water was conveyed via a third ditch to the NSL, then treated with

W912DQ18R3010

sodium met bisulfite prior to entry into a 30-minute retention pond and finally treated with lime prior to discharge into a ditch on the west side of the lagoons. The drainage ditch west of the lagoons conveyed the detergent and treated rinse water to Pond #3 located to the southwest of the 1200 Area.

In 2007, USACE performed a Remedial Action which included excavation and off-site disposal of soil contaminated with hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyls. In November 2011 USACE began the Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) which consisted of investigation trenches and subsequent excavation of 100 by 250 feet of SSL material down to the top of the weathered limestone. The depth of excavation ranged from approximately 5 to 6 feet below ground surface (bgs).

1.2. Cleanup Criteria

The soil clean-up criteria for KSAAP are for non-residential use and are presented in the Final Corrective Measures Decision (CMD) (EPA, 2006). Hexavalent chromium is expected to be the only contaminant exceeding the clean-up criteria underneath Building 1206. Therefore, hexavalent chromium results from confirmation sampling performed as part of the soil removal will be compared to the clean-up criteria of 64 milligrams per kilogram and additional soil removal shall be performed as needed.

3. Accident Prevention Plan

The Contractor shall prepare a site-specific APP based on EM 385-1-1 01.A.11 and Appendix A with appropriate Appendix A, Section 9 plans and attachments including a Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) (Section 28). The Contractor will be aware that their corporate safety and health standard operating procedures may not meet the site-specific requirements of EM 385-1-1, e.g., drilling safety (Section 18.H), fall protection (Section 21.C), , site-specific health plans (HAZWOPER, Section 33), excavation (Section 25.A) to name some of the common ones (and there are others). The Contractor is responsible for complying with the entirety of the EM 385-1-1 (e.g., Section 1 has general policy/plan requirements); and should have a qualified/competent person (See Appendix A) to develop, implement, and oversee the APP (the site health manager is a Certified Industrial Hygienist [CIH] per Section 33).

All work shall comply with 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.120 and USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1 (November 2014 edition) to include errata and changes (See http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/Portals/76/Publications/EngineerManuals/EM_385-1-1.pdf).

The CIH shall assist in preparing, reviewing, and will approve the Accident Prevention Plan. The CIH shall verify Level C PPE is adequate to ensure worker safety during intrusive activities.

4.4 Bid Item 3 - Mobilization and Site Preparation

Mobilization: The Contractor shall be responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to transport to and from the site all personnel and equipment and setup and teardown of any temporary facilities. This also includes obtaining subsurface and/or overhead utility clearances required to start work. Demobilization costs are included under Bid Item 9.

All costs required to prepare Bldg. 1206 for excavation work and all staging areas shall be included in this Bid Item.

Staging areas for excavated soil and concrete shall be set up as needed to prevent the spread of contamination;

however, direct loading is allowed and encouraged. The Contractor is strongly encouraged to minimize the footprint of all staging areas to the maximum extent possible by direct loading or other means. Any staging area holding contaminated material shall be protected from cross contamination; if protection is not taken the Contractor shall be responsible for sampling the area to prove cross-contamination did not occur. The Contractor should assume clearing of five feet tall grass in any area proposed for soil stockpiling, etc.

It should be noted that in preparing the southeast wall for excavation Contractors may come into contact with ACM. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to properly identify, sample and dispose of the ACM, if present.

Sufficient erosion and sediment controls shall be installed to ensure that the nearby tributary is not impacted by soil or sediment originating from the site. All costs associated with establishing and maintaining site erosion controls shall be included in this task. Cover of non-contaminated soil or imported fill is not required. Cover of contaminated soil or concrete piles will be required. Covering with plastic is effective but labor intensive process, therefore the Contractor is encouraged to evaluate alternative solutions to using plastic to minimize stockpile management costs.

Work shall include all labor, materials, and equipment associated for establishing excavation material and equipment staging areas, installing sediment and runoff controls, installing temporary haulage roads if needed, and performing any required vegetation and debris removal required.

Remove overhead steel pillars/overhead trolley system (Figure 5), the material will be left on-site, the landowner will provide a nearby location within the 1200 Area

Remove embedded rail system, the material will be disposed off-site by the Contractor.

4.5 Bid Item 4– Floor Slab Removal

The Contractor shall remove the concrete slab and underlying gravel sub-base, as well as any curbs or trenches necessary to access the contaminated soil in accordance with the Floor Slab Removal and Restoration Plan submitted under Bid Item 2 – Work Plans. The concrete slab is documented in historical drawings to be 6 inches thick in most areas, however some variability should be anticipated based on placement of footings, interior slab supports, columns, and curbs or trenches. Refer to Table 4-4 in Att. 1c for approximate concrete thicknesses.

Rebar appears to be present in at least a portion of the concrete. Rebar should be assumed, at a minimum, in the concrete under and around the railroad lines and curbs. Tie-in dowels may be present at foundation columns.

As-built drawings of the Building 1206 foundation and floor plan are included in Attachment 1.

The Contractor shall define the extent of concrete and sub-base removal and propose methods for removing the concrete slab with minimal impact to the surrounding structure. Saw-cutting and hydraulic hammering are examples of acceptable methods for removal of the concrete slab. Concrete and sub-base may not be recycled for use on-site, disposal requirements and costs are included under Bid Item 6.

Remove concrete slab overlying the excavation area, approximately 3,100 square feet (Table 4) All excavated concrete and sub-base will be hauled off-site for disposal, approximately 120 bank cubic yards

4.6 Bid Item 5-Sub Slab Soil Removal

The soil exceedances for hexavalent chromium are shown on Figure 3. Figure 5 shows the estimated extent of contamination based on those soil exceedances. The estimated soil removal volume is shown in Table 4. The Contractor shall define the lateral and vertical excavation extent based on existing documentation (Attachment 1) and propose methods to remove all soil contamination in exceedance of 64 mg/kg. Attachment 1c contains the current draft version of the Pre-Design Investigation performed at Building 1206, additional information on the extent of contamination is presented in Figure 4-7, Figure 4-9, and the boring logs within Appendix B of the report.
