Section 02 81 00 Page 14

All containers and packaging/repackaging efforts shall comply with Federal, state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to USEPA, NRC, and USDOT requirements, and USACE guidance.

Any containers that are determined to be unsuitable for loading and transport will be either decontaminated for free release and removed from the site by the Contractor, or crushed and disposed with other debris being transported to the disposal facility in accordance with this SOW.

Wastes may be repackaged into larger containers (overpack) if the sole purpose is to replace existing containers that are unsuitable (i.e., corroded or damaged) for loading and transport. Approval from the USACE is required prior to any packaging/repackaging of waste.

Do not mix soil with debris or other wastes for any purpose; however, partial containers of like material may be combined to reduce number of containers to be shipped. Wastes may be combined per the approved waste profile description if shipment is to be in bulk.

Soil shall not be mixed with debris in individual containers being transported unless the waste is being shipped in bulk packages.

If sampling/laboratory analysis identifies that any of the waste is also a “RCRA hazardous waste,” the contractor shall not mix or place those “mixed wastes” in the same containers with any other waste not deemed mixed waste.

3.2.5 Loading and Transportation of Contaminated Soils / Fill

All trucks and railcars used to transport contaminated material from the site shall be dedicated solely to this project throughout the duration of transportation activities. The Contractor shall obtain and submit an exclusive use agreement for all railcars used on this project.

The contaminated soils / fill shall be loaded onto transport vehicles and safely transported to the disposal facility. Qualified personnel, materials, equipment and facilities shall be provided to perform the required work. The work shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

Notifying, arranging, and coordinating all activities for transportation of the waste, including mixed waste if any is present, from the site to the disposal facility.

Scheduling, delivering, preparing, and providing sufficient quantities of clean and serviceable containers, and/or transport vehicles, inner liners, covers, placards, stickers and associated materials.

Assuring that the transportation equipment is cleaned and decontaminated prior to being mobilized to the site and upon completion of the work.

Securing all waste packages/containers/drums/etc. against shifting, including relative motion between packages/containers/drums/etc., within the transportation vehicle.

Loading all waste packages/containers/drums/etc. in the correct position as indicated on the orientation markings in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Assuring that the tare and gross weights of each vehicle leaving the site are in compliance with state and local laws and regulations.

Using appropriate methods to prevent vehicle movement during loading/unloading of the waste.

Section 02 81 00 Page 15

Preventing undue rise in temperature of packages/containers/drums/etc. during transport to the disposal facility.

Maintaining all regulatory required distances between packages/containers/drums/etc.

Surveying each transportation vehicle for radioactivity in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.86 prior to being loaded with waste, prior to leaving the site, and after unloading the waste at the disposal facility. A transportation vehicle shall not be returned to service until the radiation dose at every accessible surface is acceptable to the USACE and in accordance with Federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The Contractor shall immediately provide all transportation vehicle survey results to the USACE.

3.2.6 Shipping Documents

Each waste shipment shall be accompanied by properly completed shipping documents.

Transportation shall comply with all relevant requirements of 49 CFR along with requirements provided in 40 CFR 262 Subpart B. 49 CFR 172.101 shall be used to identify proper shipping names for each hazardous material to be shipped off site.
