Project ObjectivesandWork Scope <br />2.1 Project Objectives <br />The main objective of this pilot project is to obtain a sufficient number of soil samples that can <br />be used to develop a chemical profile of the soil materials before food processing residuals are <br />applied. The site data objectives include identification of existing constituent concentrations in <br />the soil to assist in developing cleanup levels at the end of the application season when the <br />upper layers of soil and residual materials are removed. Following removal, confirmation <br />samples will be collected and compared to the pre -application soil data to complete the anti - <br />degradation analysis and the assessment of the effects of the land application to the area soils. <br />2.2 Scope of Work <br />The work scope will include collecting and analyzing representative soil samples, before and <br />after the land application activities are completed. These work tasks are described in more <br />detail below. <br />2.2.1 Soil Sampling Plan <br />The soil sampling program will include collection of samples using random sample collection <br />methods. Initially the site will be divided into seven approximately 1 -acre parcels and a <br />sampling location selected within each acre. Three of the seven sample locations will be <br />randomly selected for analyses to include additional deeper, subsurface samples to provide a <br />soil profile at that location. Using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS), the sample <br />locations will be identified and flagged with wooden lath and flagging. <br />Subsurface sampling will be performed using a Forward -supplied backhoe or similar <br />excavating equipment. At each selected sampling location, discrete samples will be obtained <br />including a surface (6 inches to 1 foot depth) sample and at depths of 1 to 2 feet and 2 to 3 <br />feet. <br />If evidence of a different soil condition is observed from the randomly selected sample <br />locations, up to two additional locations may be sampled. The location of each additional <br />sample point will be flagged and identified on the site sampling plan for future reference. <br />The surface samples and the three randomly selected subsurface sample (soil profile) sets will <br />be submitted for analysis. These samples will be analyzed for Total Organic Carbon (TOC), <br />Electrical Conductivity, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Nitrogen, Sodium, Chloride, <br />Sulfate, TPH-GRO/DRO (C6 -C28), and pH. Based on the metals identified in the rinsate <br />sample, soil samples will also be analyzed for several heavy metals, including aluminum, <br />arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and vanadium. <br />Once the results of the sample analyses have been obtained, they will be tabulated for review. <br />Based on this review, up to an additional four subsurface samples (two depths at two locations) <br />may be submitted for analysis of some of the listed constituents, as necessary, to further <br />WFORWARD LANDFILL LAND APPLICATION 5 <br />
