Contract No. 1 – 701 Lawrence Street Remediation of Contaminated Soil

The Work of this Contract consists primarily of the placement and compaction of a 2-foot soilcover at 701 Lawrence Street in the City of Rome, New York. Currently, soil stockpiles exist atthe southern portion of the site along with grade depressions that retain stormwater with nodrainage. The stockpiles will be excavated along with other areas of the site and this materialwill be placed and graded in low‐lying areas as fill. The site boundary will slope from thenorthwest to the southeast to drainage pathways to the south-southeast of the site. The balance ofcut and fill from the site will promote drainage to this area. This will also allow for the two‐footsoil cover system to be placed uniformly across the site that promotes stormwater drainage.The final cover system will be constructed so that it functions with minimum maintenance,promotes drainage, and minimizes erosion. Although the ROD allows for use of pavement as acover material, the design of the cover system calls for providing a minimum 18‐inch‐thick soillayer and 6 inches of topsoil with vegetative cover meeting the SCOs for cover material as setforth in 6 NYCRR Part 375‐6.7(d) for restricted‐residential use. A demarcation layer will beinstalled prior to placement of the soil cover at the interface between the unexcavated soil andthe imported backfill. The demarcation layer will provide a physical boundary between thesubsurface fill material and the overlying certified cover soil system.
