Section 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii). Use if:

1. Earth material will be disturbed

2. Work could result in lead exposure

3. Earth material is not a hazardous waste

4. Earth material does not require disposal in a permitted landfill

Activities that disturb earth material and could result in lead exposure include clearing and grubbing, excavating, trenching, grading, drilling, planting, constructing foundations, installing signs, and installing posts. Driving vehicles on unpaved surfaces is not included because it is covered by dust control specifications.

Consult with the district hazardous waste technical specialist regarding use and editing of this SSP.

Replace section 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) with:

7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) Earth Material Containing Lead

1

Section 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) includes specifications for handling, removing, and disposing of earth material containing lead.

2

Submit a lead compliance plan.

Lead is present in earth material on the job site. The average lead concentrations are below 1,000 mg/kg total lead and below 5 mg/L soluble lead. The material on the job site:

1.Is not a hazardous waste

2.Does not require disposal at a permitted landfill or solid waste disposal facility

4. Use if all surplus earth material will be placed on the job site or other right-of-way location. If par 4 is used, delete pars. 5, 8, and 9. Do not use if surplus earth material may be disposed of.If surplus earth material may or will be placed off the job site at another right-of-way location, insert the exact location in the 3rd sentence. Use the 3rd sentence if needed to specify placement locations of surplus earth material. Locations must not include properties to be relinquished.

Lead is typically found within the top 2 feet of material in unpaved areas of the highway. Reuse allof the excavated material on the right-of-way. Haul and place the surplus excavated material on the right-of-way at _____.

5. Use if the Contractor must dispose of surplus earth material. Use with pars. 8 and 9. If par. 5 is used, delete par. 4. Insert the depth and concentration levels . Delete "less than" if it does not apply.

Lead has been detected in material to a depth of _____ in unpaved areas of the highway. Levels of lead found on the job site range from less than ____ to ____ mg/kg total lead with an average concentration of _____ mg/kg total lead as analyzed by EPA test method 6010 or EPA test method 7000 series and based upon a 95 percent upper confidence limit. Levels of lead found within the project limits have a predicted average soluble concentration of ____ mg/L as analyzed by the California Waste Extraction Test and based upon a 95 percent upper confidence limit.

6. For item 2, insert the region number and name for the CA RWQCB. For item 4, insert agencies that have included lead issues in a permit for the project; delete if not used.

Handle the material under all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those of the following agencies:

1.Cal/OSHA

2.CA RWQCB, Region__—_____

3.CA Department of Toxic Substances Control

4._____

7. Use if specific earth material management is required to ensure that theearth material can be defined as nonhazardous. Consult with the district hazardous waste technical specialist. Specify depth, location, and management requirements for the earth material in the table. Specify location using station numbers, post miles, and modifiers such as median or shoulder.Base management requirements on the specific distribution of lead concentrations in the earth material that will be excavated. Some examples of management requirements are:

1. Excavate to total depth. Do not excavate in lifts.

2. Stockpile all excavated earth material at an authorized location before reuse.

3. Stockpile all excavated earth material at an authorized location before disposal.

4. Reuse all earth material on the job site.

Multiple requirements may be used for a single location.

Manage the material as shown in the following table.

Earth Material Management
Location / Depth / Management requirements

8. Use with par. 5. If par. 4 is used, delete par. 8.

If the material is disposed of:

1.Disclose the lead concentration of the material to the receiving property owner when obtaining authorization for disposal on the property

2.Obtain the receiving property owner's acknowledgment of lead concentration disclosure in the written authorization for disposal

3.You are responsible for any additional sampling and analysis required by the receiving property owner

9. Use with par. 5. If par. 4 is used, delete par. 9.

If you choose to dispose of the material at a commercial landfill:

1.Transport it to a Class III or Class II landfill appropriately permitted to receive the material

2.You are responsible for identifying the appropriately permitted landfill to receive the material and for all associated trucking and disposal costs, including any additional sampling and analysis required by the receiving landfill
