Determination of Nonsignificance

DNS

WAC 197-11-970

Description of proposal: A portion of Grant County Public Utility District No. 2 (District) property was impacted when the adjacent property owner constructed Crescent Bay Resort. Approximately 3,050 square feet was disturbed by placement of sand, gravel, and cobbles on District shoreline property adjacent to Trinidad Creek, destroying existing native vegetation. Crescent Bay Resort will be responsible for creating a shrub-steppe habitat type that includes planting a mosaic of grass and shrubs and monitoring to ensure growth.

The existing sand, gravel, and cobbles will be left in place and an additional layer of sandy, well drained topsoil will be placed on top of the disturbed area. Plantings will occur in the fall or spring when the plants are dormant and irrigation will be required during the first growing season to ensure survival of the plantings. The area will be monitored for survival for a 5 year period. During that period, noxious weeds will be removed utilizing best management practices and monitoring reports will be provided to the District

the lowest responsible bid.

This work includes removing approximately 2,000 buried steel "55 gallon" drums which were placed in a

stack in 1975 and since buried with solid waste and soil at the Ephrata Landfill. The drums are thought to

be stacked three layers deep in the area shown on the Plans. The drums are thought to contain solidified

paint sludges, organics, inorganics, and solvents from manufacturing sources. The Contractor will build

the drum staging area specified herein and shown in the Plans, remove the drums from their present

location, place them in overpack drums, and place the overpacked drums in the staging area. The drums

will be sampled, analyzed and disposed of by others. The Contractor will need to accommodate the

activities of the drum disposal contractor within the staging area and onsite (e.g. testing, grouping similar

drums, loading). The Contractor will then decommission the staging area once all drums are removed.

The drums are covered by approximately 15 feet of commingled solid waste and rocky soil (overburden).

The Contractor will remove overburden without driving heavy equipment or vehicles over the drums or

otherwise damaging the drums. Due to the anticipated depths (to about 30 feet), the Contractor will lay

back excavation side slopes for safe access to the drums. Laying back slopes will expose about 3,000

square yards of refuse that will need to be promptly covered with daily cover consisting of at least 6

inches of borrow material from the on-site borrow area or a temporary film or membrane approved by the

ENGINEER. Borrow used for side slope daily cover will be left in place as part of the backfill.

The Contractor will dispose of overburden more than a foot above the drums or more than three feet away from the sides of the drums in the active area of the landfill. The Contractor will segregate overburden within one foot above the drums and three feet alongside the drums because that material is considered to be potentially contaminated by drum leakage.

LEGAL DOCUMENTS

The drums may have leaked into underlying soil, which the ENGINEER will identify. The Contractor

will at times need to delay daily cover placement to accommodate sampling and testing by the

ENGINEER. The Contractor shall provide excavation as directed by the ENGINEER to collect soil

samples and removing potentially contaminated soil to the extent required by the ENGINEER.

Contractor shall decontaminate the excavator bucket before collecting each sample. Limited potentially

contaminated soil volumes are anticipated because of shallow bedrock.

The Contractor will segregate potentially contaminated overburden and soil in lined, hard-lidded,

gasketed roll-off bins for sampling, testing and waste designation and coding by the ENGINEER. The

Contractor will dispose of material designated hazardous offsite. The Contractor will dispose of nonhazardous material in the active landfill.

Portions of the drum stack might consist of badly deteriorated drums, associated waste, and commingled

soil and overburden (bulk drum waste). Some drums might rupture when handled, resulting in a mixture

of drum waste, overburden, soil and cleanup materials (spill residue). The Contractor will segregate bulk

drum waste and spill residue in lined, hard-lidded, gasketed roll-off bins for sampling, testing and waste

designation and coding by the ENGINEER. The Contractor will dispose of these materials offsite.

The Contractor will backfill the excavation in two foot lifts and thoroughly rolled each lift with

equipment once drums are removed and contaminated soils are removed to the extent feasible or surveyed in place where removal is not feasible.

The OWNER will provide traffic control on the landfill. The work area will be isolated from site traffic,

which includes private vehicle traffic. The Contractor is required to top the excavation with borrow and

track-walk the surface. The OWNER will restore the landfill roads.

There are no electrical power, water supply or toilet facilities near the work area. There is no onsite water

supply sufficient for watering. The Contractor will need to obtain water for watering offsite. Watering

will not be allowed within the drum excavation. There are trees, a fence and part of drip irrigation system

along the north edge of the excavation area. The Contractor will be required to salvage wooden fence

posts for the OWNER, dispose of metal fence fabric onsite (free of charge), dispose of trees offsite, and

move or cap the drip system.

No bidder may withdraw their bid after the hour set for the opening thereof or before award of contract

unless said award is delayed for a period exceeding sixty (60) days from the date of bid opening.
