The work to be completed under this contract consists primarily of: 1.

The asbestos abatement portion of this contract shall be performed by a Montana licensed asbestos abatement contractor. 2. Excavation and segregation of site debris -- There are eleven (11) debris piles, as well as a large building containing debris, on the site to be addressed in this contract. The debris piles and building contents consist of wood waste, reinforced concrete footings and foundations, scrap metal, rubber and plastic, concrete masonry units (CMU), pipe, casing, rocks, soil, slag and numerous other types of solid debris including some materials containing non-friable asbestos materials. Site debris will be handled in a varying manner depending upon whether or not it is contaminated with pentachlorophenol (PCP), and based on its material characteristics. Debris piles will be excavated, and in some piles metals will be segregated and stockpiled for pressure washing on site, prior to recycling. Unstained concrete will be segregated in some piles and stockpiled for shipment to a non-hazardous waste landfill. 3. Pressure washing of recyclable metal -- Most of the metal debris on-site will require pressure washing prior to recycling (approximately 1,500 tons). The Contractor shall construct a concrete pressure washing pad and shall install a new fire hydrant on site that will serve as the water source for pressure washing and for dust control. 4. Loading, hauling, and debris disposal -- Contaminated debris (approximately 2,900 cubic yards) will be loaded into lined trucks or lined railcars, the loads will be covered, and the debris will be hauled to the Grassy Mountain RCRA Subtitle C landfill (Grassy Mountain), near Salt Lake City, Utah or a DEQ approved equal. Unstained concrete (approximately 900 cubic yards) will be loaded into trucks or railcars and hauled to the BFI RCRA Subtitle D landfill, (BFI) in Missoula, Montana, or a DEQ approved equal. Debris must be received and disposed at the receiving landfills by April 30, 1999. The Contractor will be responsible for payment to the landfills. Trucks or railcars will be weighed at the landfill and the Contractor will be required to weigh all trucks and railcars at a certified facility prior to shipment as described in the specifications. Pressure washed recyclable scrap metal will be hauled to a metal recycler to be smelted and may not be reused. 5. Demolition and/or removal of seven (7) on-site buildings. Four of the seven buildings will require encapsulation of the asbestos containing paint on the metal siding, demolition of the building, loading, and transporting directly to the Grassy Mountain facility or a DEQ approved equal. The framing wood, trusses, and large unstained concrete from one large building will be disposed of at the BFI landfill in Missoula or DEQ approved equal. The metal siding (not containing asbestos) shall be pressure washed and recycled. One building has been burned and may contain friable asbestos. The remains of this building shall be double bagged per the specifications and shall be transported directly to the Grassy Mountain facility or a DEQ approved equal. Disposal of demolition debris is as stated in #4 above. 6. Removal of seventeen (17) above ground steel storage tanks. Tanks 1 and 7 will be used as oil/water separators and sediment traps at the pressure wash pad for theduration of this contract prior to disposal. The contractor shall pump fluids from tanks, remove any sludges from tanks in accordance with standard practices for underground storage tanks and confined space entry. Tanks will be cut up, pressure washed and recycled. Oils and sludges will be disposed of at the Aragonite Hazardous Waste Incinerator (Aragonite), Aragonite, Utah or DEQ approved equal. 7. Other required items include segregation, loading, transportation and disposal or recycling of scattered debris adjacent to the debris piles and buildings and for the provision of a water truck to minimize dust emissions as specified.
