Key Elements

  • f the Project
  • Community Revitalization Effort Involving the

Collaboration of Public/Private/Regulatory Stakeholders

  • Redevelopment of a Failing Apartment

Complex with a Community Park

  • Utilized the Triad Approach for Site

Assessment

  • Remediation of a Former Pond Used for

Hazardous Waste Disposal and Filled Wirh Historic Fill

  • On-site Stabilization of Hazardous Waste

Prior to Off-site Disposal

  • Engineering and Institutional Controls

Employed to Manage Residual Contamination

Identified Contaminants

  • f Concern
  • Historic Fill
  • Benzo(a)anthracene (46 mg/kg), Lead (6,700

mg/kg), Zinc (21,000 mg/kg)

  • Sludge
  • Lead (47,000 mg/kg total, 130 ug/L TCLP)
  • Ground Water
  • Arsenic (18 ug/L), Cadmium (12 ug/L),

Chromium (330 ug/L), Lead (67 ug/L), Cyanide (1,570 ug/L)

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Contaminants of Concern

  • TCLP analysis; lead leached above

the toxic characteristic hazardous waste threshold in some sludge samples

  • SPLP Analysis: Potential for lead

and arsenic to leach from fill above GWQS

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Remedial Approach

23

  • Excavate/Stockpile Historic Fill
  • Dewater Pond, Treat Groundwater and

On-site Infiltration

  • Excavate Sludge, Stabilize, Off-site

Disposal

  • Install Clean Soil Buffer, Place Historic

Fill, Install Clean Soil Cap

  • Establish Ground Water Classification

Area and Deed Notice

Remediation Steps

25

  • Building Decontamination and Removal
  • Foundation Removal
  • Excavation/Stockpiling of Historic Fill

from Pond Area

  • Excavation and Stabilization of Sludge
  • Install Clean Soil Buffer
  • Replace Historic Fill
  • Install Cap
  • Establish CEA

Waste Stabilization

43

  • Stabilization Chemical - Inorganic Mixture of

Magnesium Oxide and Calcium Phosphate

  • Attempt to use phosphoric acid-based product

unsuccessful; Reaction generated H2S

  • Pre-remediation bench testing to determine

treatment ratio for lead

  • Composite sampling of each waste pile to

determine lead concentration

  • Product delivered in bulk and mixed with excavator
  • Post treatment composite sampling to verify results
