Document Description
The project consists of the excavation and removal of approximately 675 tons (500 cubic yards) of soil located within Area C that is impacted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, the project will include cutting, removing, and disposing of the existing concrete pavement (approximately 30 by 70 feet). There will be an average of 8 truck trips per day to transport the contaminated soil to an appropriate facility, import clean fill, and bring in material for the cap. The work will take approximately 20 working days. Following soil removal, groundwater monitoring will be conducted to assess the efficacy of soil excavation in reducing groundwater concentrations. The work described in the Area C Removal Action Workplan (RAW) is one of many ongoing steps towards complete soil and groundwater remediation at the Site. See NOE for full details.
