[SWMU B-13]

SWMU B-13 Work Plan

RL17 Project, February 1996

Soils: Krum Complex

Known: Records indicate SWMU B-13 was used as an engineering trash dump area.

Previous Investigations: A field survey indicated that SWMU B-13 was used as a dump for miscellaneous solid waste (ES, 1993b). It was subsequently covered with sand and compacted although erosion has exposed the underlying trash.

Data Needs: Map, geophysical survey, analytical data for groundwater, surface and subsurface soils.

Closure Activities: The following field activities will be performed to gather data for TNRCC closure submittal of SWMU B-13.

SWMU B-13 Field Effort 1

  1. Review historical records as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

  2. Field map the SWMU as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

  3. Conduct a geophysical survey of the SWMU as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

  4. Locate and receive approval for three soil boring locations as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

SWMU B-13 Field Effort 2

  1. Three soil borings will be drilled to characterize the subsurface soils.

  1. Drill the three soil borings at the approved locations as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

  2. Obtain three samples per boring at surface (0-2 foot depth), middle, and total depths as described in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview.

  3. Analyze each sample for SVOCs, VOCs, and metals (as outlined in the FSP).

  1. Water is not expected to be encountered at the site. However, if water is discovered in any of the soil borings, all three borings will be sampled and potentially completed as groundwater monitor wells as detailed in Section 2.4.1 of the Work Plan Overview. Sample groundwater, where present, and analyze each sample for the SVOCs, VOCs, and metals (as outlined in the FSP).

  2. Handle the IDW in accordance with the FSP.
