205-3 03
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Sections 200 - 599 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 Volume 2 205-3.03 Field Organic Vapor Monitoring. The Contractor shall hire an independent firm to perform field organic vapor monitoring in accordance with the accepted FOVMP. The individual conducting the monitoring, hereafter referred to as the Field Monitor, shall be experienced and thoroughly train ed in sampling protocols, organic vapor monitoring procedures, and equipment calibration procedures. The Field Monitor shall screen potentially contaminated soil during excavation using field vapor monitoring equipment (PID/FID) and visual observations. Ba sed on the screening results, the Field Monitor shall direct the Contractor on the proper segregation of the material. Field organic vapor monitoring shall be conducted when working in the contaminated soil areas identified in the contract documents, or whenever unusual or suspicious soil conditions based on visual or odor evidence are encountered during excavation. The Co ntractor or Field Monitor shall notify the Engineer immediately if soil is discovered that appears to contain unknown contaminants or soil that varies significantly from the type of contamination identified in the contract documents. (For health and safety reasons, personnel shall not evaluate odor by placing soil directly to the nose or by inhaling vapors from grab or bag samples). The Field Monitor shall calibrate the PID/FID on a daily basis prior to starting field work and shall determine a background measurement. Excavated soil shall be tested with the PID/FID at intervals that will ensure the soil is being properly assessed for contamination. The PID/FID will be used to take head space readings from bag samples with the soil temperature at least 50OF. The Field Monitor shall maintain detailed and legible field notes indicating work locations, nature of work being performed, PID/FID head space readings, time of readings, pertinent measurements, visual and odor observations, quantities of both contaminated and non -contaminated soils excavated at each location, storage/stockpile locations, work hours, weather conditions, and any un usual conditions encountered. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a copy of all field notes within 5 work days from their recording. The segregation threshold established below (25ppm) is based on gasoline being the predominant contaminant. If a different contaminant(s) is present or suspected, a different segregation threshold may need to be established. Alternative segregation thresho lds may be designated in the contract documents. PID/FIDs detect and measure gas concentrations (specifically volatile organic compounds); they do not quantify or identify the contaminants in the soil. Therefore, PID/FID readings can not determine specific contaminant concentrations within the soil. Segregate soil as follows:
A.Non -Contaminated Soil. Soil with PID/FID head space readings less than 25 ppm and exhibiting no other evidence of contamination (visual or olfactory evidence) shall be considered non - contaminated. Unless further analysis is performed for confirmation of the non -contaminated so il, this soil will be considered uncontaminated.
B.Contaminated Soil. Soil with PID/FID head space readings equal to or greater than 25 ppm and/or soil exhibiting other evidence of contamination (visual or olfactory evidence) shall be considered contaminated. This soil shall be segregated from non -contaminated soil and place d in stockpiles or containers. If sampling and analysis provisions are included for the segregated soil, the results of laboratory analysis will be used to determine its regulatory classification. If feasible, soil with significa ntly higher PID/FID head space readings and soil exhibiting unusual visual or odor characteristics shall be segregated from other contaminated soil.
205-3.04 Sampling and Analysis. The Contractor shall have an accepted Sampling Plan prior to
commencing work within potentially contaminated areas. Sampling shall be conducted by individuals thoroughly trained in sampling protocols, handling and chain of custody procedures, and laborat ory requirements. Accepted sampling practices shall be used to obtain representative composite sample(s) and/or grab sample(s) as required for the specific analyses to be completed. Representative samples shall be collected from stored soil as soon as pos sible after excavation. Soil shall be taken from a depth greater than one foot within the stockpile. Each composite sample shall include a minimum of four sample
205-3 05
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Sections 200 - 599 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 Volume 2 points. Grab samples shall be collected in a manner so as to best characterize the extent of contamination of the soil in question and best characterize the extent of contamination of the pile. If any soil areas are present with field indications of cont amination discretely different than the other areas (i.e., significantly elevated PID/FID readings, staining, etc.), the area may require a separate sample and the Engineer shall be alerted to approve additional sample and analysis. Analyses shall be com pleted at a NYSDOH ELAP accredited laboratory that is certified to perform the required tests. Analyses shall be completed within 10 work days of sample collection. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a copy of all reports within 2 work days of their receipt from the laboratory. Soil shall not be added to any stockpile, truck or roll -off container after its contents have been sampled. If soil is added after sampling, or sampled soil is otherwise tampered with, the Contractor shall re-sample the soil at no additional cost to the St ate. Conduct specified analyses as follows:
A.Petroleum Contamination Parameter Analysis. Samples shall be analyzed for petroleum contamination constituents (total constituent analysis) in accordance with CP – 51/Soil Cleanup Guidance, Gasoline and Fuel oil, Tables 2 and 3 using USEPA Method 8260 for volatile organics and methyl t -butyl ether (MTBE) and USEPA Method 8270 for base/neutrals.
B.Hazardous Waste RCRA Toxicity Characteristic Analysis. Samples shall be analyzed for Hazardous Waste RCRA Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) constituents. Analysis shall be for full TCLP constituents on the sample extract as prepared by USEPA Method 1311.
C.Ignitability of Solids Analysis. Samples shall be analyzed for ignitability by USEPA Method 1030.
D.pH of Soil and Waste. Samples shall be analyzed for pH measurement by USEPA Method 9045.
E.Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Analysis. Samples shall be analyzed for PCBs by USEPA Method 8082.
F.Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) Analysis. Samples shall be analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons, USEPA Method 8015, gasoline range organics (GROs) and/or diesel range organics (DROs).
205-3.05 Transportation and Disposal. The Contractor shall have an accepted Disposal Plan prior to
the transportation and disposal of contaminated soil. Contaminated soil shall not be transported until all sampling and analysis, as required by the Department or by the Disposal facility, hav e been performed and laboratory reports have been provided and accepted by the Department.
A.Transportation Off Site.
1.For the duration of transportation, roll -off containers and truck beds shall be completely covered with secured waterproof tarpaulins to prevent water infiltration, evaporation of contaminants and spillage of contaminated soil.
