A general summary of the project is presented below. This specification details the handling of existing material at the project Site, specifies the quality of any imported fill, and describes the requirements for remediation: Health and Safety Program: Prepare and implement a Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP). The HASP must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements set forth at 29 CFR 1910.120, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. As appropriate, utilize personnel that have received 40 hours of training in accordance with OSHA’s Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard (29 CFR 1910.120). Provide medical surveillance for all personnel who may come in contact with or be exposed to contaminated materials during the course of the work. Provide personnel, including personnel for subcontractors, who are 40-hr. OSHA trained with an 8-hr. OSHA refresher course completed within the previous twelve months. Personnel who have not received training, and who are not equipped with the required protective clothing and equipment, must not be permitted access to the site by the Contractor during the course of the work that may result in exposure to contaminated soil and/or groundwater. Soil Management: Soil at the Site is presumed to be contaminated with metals (lead and mercury) (1219, 1407, 1505), pesticides (aldrin and dieldrin) (1219,1505), and PAH (1219) in concentrations exceeding relevant SRS. Appropriately handle all soil that is excavated in the course of Site remediation. Soil intended for off-site disposal will be characterized based on requirements specified by the chosen disposal facility. In general, contaminated soil must remain on the tax parcel from which it was excavated. Excess soil must be properly profiled and disposed as solid waste. Waste Management: Submit a Waste Management Plan to the Owner’s Representative and LSRP of Record prior to initiating activities. The Waste Management Plan must follow the conditions outlined in this document and the NJDEP regulations. Properly characterize and dispose of waste as necessary. Provide all disposal records to the Owner’s Representative and LSRP of Record. Any changes to the Waste Management Plan must be approved by the LSRP of Record. Perimeter Air Monitoring: If the Contractor determines that the remediation will exceed 20 working days within a 30-day period, a perimeter air monitoring plan will be required to be created if the contaminants of concern have the potential to generate air emissions. Fill Use Plan: The Site is to be backfilled with certified clean fill and restored to grade. The Contractor must provide a Fill Use Plan and submit it to the LSRP of Record and Owner’s Representative to review. The Fill Use Plan must follow the requirements as described in Appendix B of the NJDEP’s Fill Material Guidance for SRP Sites. The Fill Use Plan must be approved by the LSRP of Record prior to commencement of any remedial activities. Any changes to the Fill Use Plan must be approved by the LSRP of Record.
