Erosion Control

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - New England District is issuing a Pre-Solicitation Notice for Erosion Control efforts - Devens, MA. THE WORK CONSISTS OF: Installation of erosion controls at an area upgradient of Plow Shop Pond in Devens, MA to prevent the formation of rills caused by stormwater runoff. In 2013, actions were taken to remove maintenance byproducts from a former railroad Round House. The byproducts reportedly consisted primarily of coal ash and contaminants detected in sediment and soil included PAHs and the following metals: antimony, copper, lead and zinc. Approximately 1,100 cubic yards of contaminated sediment including coal ash and metals were excavated from the shoreline in 2013. The upland area consists of sandy soil and is sparsely vegetated. Erosion control work is anticipated to be completed in the summer and will include (1) filling depressions; (2) grading the soil; reinforcing the soil with a geosynthetic material; and placing additional fill over the geosynthetic material. While contamination was removed from the shoreline, residual contamination may remain. This solicitation will be available on or about 2 June 2015.
