LFR Inc. Excavation equipment was decontaminated by a dry method and equipment was not allowed out of the work area without being decontaminated. Equipment decontamination stations were set up at work areas near the loading area. Decontamination was performed by individuals in personal protective equipment (PPE), using brushes in accordance with the RAP and the HSP. Personnel did not leave the work area without first proceeding through a tarp-lined personal decontamination station, which was established at each work area. Personnel completed decontamination by removing and properly disposing of PPE. They were required to dry brush their boots and then proceed to a designated wash area where they washed their hands and faces before leaving the work area. Personal respiratory equipment was cleaned daily and PPE filters were changed regularly. PPE waste was transported to an appropriate disposal facility. 5.3 Removal Action The Site includes 34 distinct burn-pile areas. Following removal of the large debris as discussed in Section 5.2.1, soil and burned tires were excavated to remove ash, burned material, and visibly affected soil. The initial phase consisted of excavation in the southern burn pile areas. Visibly affected soil was initially anticipated to exist to a depth of approximately 2 feet beneath the Y ash in each of the burn pile areas. Visibly affected soil from these ' areas was considered Class I non- RCRA hazardous waste =_ (primarily due to elevated zinc _ concentrations; EEI 2002) and was transported to a state- permitted Class I disposalA,� facility. During excavation activities in the northern area of Y A the Site, the Class I waste extended beyond 10 feet deep Photograph 7 (Photographs 7 and 8). Soil excavation and characterization sampling The initial excavation phase in a activities given burn pile was followed by confirmation soil sampling to verify that the Class I non-RCRA hazardous waste had been removed from the area. Confirmation sampling proceeded according to the RAP (Section 7.4; LFR 2003b) and as discussed in Section 5.4. Excavation of ash, burned material, and visibly affected soil from other burn pile areas was conducted concurrently with confirmation sampling of previously excavated areas. If confirmation sampling indicated that the presence of remaining Class I non-RCRA hazardous waste soil was still in the area sampled, additional excavation and confirmation sampling was Page 16 rpt-RA_summ-Nov06-fina1-09025:j
