Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Project is located in Mt. Sterling, KY. The Project entails remediation of arsenic impacted media (soils,water, sediments) associated with the 1.5-acre Tipton Pond, surrounding soils, and its downstream drainages. The media has been contaminated via historic arsenic migration in surface water drainage from the adjacent former Southern Wood Treatment Company site. Previous investigations at the site have determined that environmental media is contaminated with arsenic. Arsenic has been detected in soil surrounding the Tipton Pond and along the drainage way running south of the Pond's Dam. Arsenic has also been detected in the water of the pond as well as being detected within the sediments of the pond. Soils and pond sediments will be excavated and removed for off-site disposal. All soil excavations will be one foot in depth. Water from the pond will also be removed, treated, and discharged at the site boundary. The Pond's Dam will not be disturbed. Following excavation activities, a compacted clay layer will be installed in the pond, the soil ground surfaces will be restored to the original grade, the areas will be vegetated, and the pond will naturally re-fill with water.
