Typically, screening will be accomplished by obtaining a representative core sample from the incoming load and analyzing it for gasoline, diesel and oil using EPA Method 8015M and for BTEX using EPA Method 8020. Additional analytical methods may be used if deemed necessary to ensure the acceptability of the soil . Incoming loads will be detained while the 8015M and 8020 analyses are done in the on site lab. If additional analyses are required which would lengthen the detention time to the point of being impracticable, the incoming soil will either be off loaded, segregated and clearly identified or returned to the originating site. If a questionable load is off loaded, WSR will notify the generator within five (5) working days regarding the acceptability of the soil . If the soil is not acceptable, the generator will remove the soil from the Facility, at his sole expense, and dispose of it elsewhere. (Acceptance of this financial responsibility is included in the certification and indemnification statement which the generator must sign as part of the Pre-Acceptance Procedures. ) Procedures for Monitoring and Confirmation of the Treated Soil Quality The treated soil will be monitored to ensure compliance with the clean-up levels specified by the regulatory agencies. A minimum of one composite sample will be obtained for every one hundred ( 100) cubic yards of treated soil . The sample will be analyzed for gasoline, diesel and oil using EPA Methods 8015M and 8020 in the on site lab. If the analytical results indicate the specified clean-up levels have not been met, the soil will be reprocessed. If after reprocessing the soil, the clean-up levels can not be met, WSR will properly dispose of the soil off site. If the analytical results indicate the specified clean-up levels have been met, the treated soil will be kept in a segregated stockpile pending confirmation analyses by a State certified analytical laboratory. Once the confirmation has been received, the treated soil may be moved to a consolidated treated soil stockpile and made available for recycling/reuse at off site locations.
