Page 8 Health and Safety Plan and Soil Management Plan Gleason Park Apartments Property April 21,2010 REMOVAL OF SOIL FROM PROPERTY No soil or other subsurface material (such as rubble, debris, etc.) should be removed from the property prior to evaluation/testing to determine the appropriate disposal method. If it is necessary to remove soil or other subsurface materials from the property, any such materials should be temporarily stockpiled on site prior to off-haul. The soils/materials intended for off- haul should be evaluated by a qualified environmental professional to determine appropriate disposal methods for the materials. Any removal and disposal of site soils or other subsurface materials should comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The handling, stockpiling and sampling of soils designated for off-haul should comply with the health, safety, and site control measures presented in this document. In the case of any soil materials designated for off-haul, a representative number of samples should be collected from the stockpiled soils for laboratory analysis to characterize the soil for disposal purposes. The number/frequency of soil samples collected should be determined by the environmental professional, and would depend on the nature and amount of the soils, as well as any requirements of the disposal site/facility. A typical frequency for such characterization sampling is three, four-part composite soil samples for every 250 cubic yards of soil. All soil sampling and sample handling should be performed in accord with standard environmental protocol. Soil samples collected for the purpose of off-haul characterization should be submitted to a State-certified analytical laboratory under chain-of-custody for analysis. At a minimum, the soil samples should be analyzed for total lead and soluble lead by the Waste Extraction Test method. The entity/facility designated to receive the soils may require additional analyses. The laboratory results should be reviewed by the environmental professional to determine the appropriate disposal method. Analytical test results and documentation prepared by the environmental professional should be provided to the property owner and the entity/facility designated to receive the soils. Written approval/acceptance of the materials from the receiving entity/facility should be received prior to off-haul. Any materials generated at the site for of haul that are characterized as a hazardous waste must be disposed at a facility designated to accept such wastes. Any site soil disposed of as hazardous waste should be accompanied by an appropriate manifest. In the case of any non-soil subsurface materials (such as debris, rubble etc.) generated at the site for off-site disposal, the materials should be stockpiled and evaluated by an environmental professional. The methods of evaluation should be determined by the environmental professional and would be dependant on the nature of the materials. Disposal decision regarding any such materials should be based on the results of the evaluation, requirements of the accepting entity/facility, and all applicable laws and regulations.
