Roundhouse from Brian Byrnes SECTION 02000 Soil and Material Management
Hilton Garden Inn Northampton MA 1SECTION 02000 – SOIL AND MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PART 1 – GENERAL 1.01 DESCRIPTION OF WORK The purpose of this Section is to describe procedures and requirements
for the handling and management of MGP-impacted soils, groundwater treatment residuals, and MGP-impacted debris (asphalt, brick, concrete, wood, brush, stumps, etc.) based on the environmental
quality and characteristics of the material. These procedures include, but are not limited to methods of excavation, handling, processing, conditioning, stockpiling, off-site transportation
and disposal/treatment of MGP-impacted material and miscellaneous debris. Work to be performed under this Section includes, but is not limited to, the following items including all labor,
materials, equipment and services necessary and incidental to the proper execution of Work. 1.02 DEFINITION A. MGP-impacted: Materials with visual evidence of separate phase product
(tar), blue staining, wood chips, and/or olfactory evidence of MGP tar odors ((naphthalene). All discolored soil within the portion of the Pioneer Property that was formerly owned by
Bay State Gas and that is part of the Site under the MCP is by definition considered MGP-impacted. Soils below elevation 109.5 ft in the portion of the property south of the property
formerly owned by Bay State may be MGP-related, and such determination shall be made based on the same physical and olfactory evidence (the presence of tar, tar oils, blue or greenish
soil or stones, and/or blue wood chips). Disputes over the source of material (MGP-impacted or non MGP-impacted) will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions
of the Settlement agreement, recognizing that visual and olfactory evidence is a better determiner of source than the detection of PAHs by chemical analysis. B. Non MGP-impacted: All
materials which are not classified as MGP-impacted. Non MGP-impacted soil may include urban fill soil, clean native soil, and clean imported fill soil. C. Urban fill: Fill soils which
are characterized by elevated concentrations of VOCs and/or PAHs and/or metals, and not identified as MGP-impacted. Urban fill is a subset of non MGP-impacted. Discolored (i.e., non-native)
fills in the southern portion of the Pioneer Property may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a result of past use not related to the MGP operations. The presence of PAHs
is not by itself evidence of Releases of Hazardous Materials at the Site related to MGP operations, particularly for soils less than 109.5 feet in elevation. Disputes over the source
of material (MGP-impacted or non MGP-impacted) will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of the settlement agreement, recognizing that visual and olfactory
evidence is a better determiner of source than chemical analysis.
Hilton Garden Inn Northampton MA 2 D. The following is a summary of the anticipated excavation work and an identification of materials to be defined as MGP-impacted. 1. General: For
the purposes of this project, all soils on the parcel formerly owned by BSG are considered to be MGP impacted, with the following exceptions: a. Clean fill present above a geotextile
marker liner, and b. Soils west and northwest of the previous BSG excavation. This area is roughly defined by the footprint of the hotel. MGP-impacted soils may be encountered in excavations
on the parcels not previously owned by BSG, and shall be managed as MGP-impacted. MGPimpacted soils may be present in fill soils and natural deposits. 2. Clean Utility Corridors: a.
Soils above the marker barrier (approximately 3 feet below ground surface) are clean imported soils suitable for on-site re-use. b. Urban fill soils within the former BSG parcel will
be managed as MGPimpacted. c. Urban fill soils off the former BSG parcel will be managed as non-MGPimpacted, unless there is evidence of MGP-impacted soil as determined by the on-site
Licensed Site Professional (LSP) or the BSG Engineer/Representative. To the extent practical, this non impacted urban fill shall be re-used on either of the parcels, whether or not formerly
owned by BSG. d. Naturally deposited soil, if not exhibiting evidence of MGP impacts, shall be re-used on the premises. 3. Excavation for the hotel pool, floor slab, grade beams and
associated structural elements: a. Soils above the marker barrier (generally 3 feet below ground surface) are clean imported soils suitable for on-site re-use. b. Urban fill soils within
the former BSG property shall be managed as MGPimpacted. c. Urban fill soils, including soils in the pool area at the northwest corner of the proposed hotel and soil along the western
boundary of the hotel (both areas considered to be outside the former BSG property) shall be managed as urban fill, unless determined to be MGP-impacted by the BSG Engineer/Representative
or on-site Licensed Site Professional (LSP). d. Naturally deposited soil, if not exhibiting evidence of MGP impacts, shall be re-used within the former BSG property.
Hilton Garden Inn Northampton MA 3 e. MGP-impacted materials, if encountered, shall be managed as MGPimpacted. 4. Soils generated from the installation of deep foundations: a. Within
the former BSG property, urban fill soil and those identified as MGP impacted, will be managed as MGP impacted. b. Outside of the former BSG property, only MGP impacted materials will
be managed as MGP impacted materials. 5. Excavations for elevators within the parcel formerly owned by BSG: a. Soils above the marker barrier (generally 3 feet below ground surface)
are clean imported soils suitable for on-site re-use. b. Urban fill soils from within the former BSG property shall be managed as MGP-impacted. c. Naturally deposited soil, if not exhibiting
evidence of MGP impacts, shall be re-used within the former BSG property. d. MGP-impacted materials, if encountered, shall be managed as MGPimpacted. 6. Other excavated materials not
defined above, shall be classified as non MGPimpacted. 1.03 REFERENCE STANDARDS A. Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, 310 CMR 40.0000, The Massachusetts Contingency

and appropriate Bills of Lading, Hazardous Waste Manifests, or other documentation (material shipping record). BSG will be the generator of MGP impacted wastes, and associated transportation
documents will be signed by BSG or the BSG Engineer/Representative. B. Maintain project documentation with accurate records of waste characterization testing of materials destined for
off-site disposal. C. Suspend work in the area and notify the BSG Engineer/Representative if the presence of potentially hazardous conditions is evident. These conditions include, but
are not limited to, buried containers, drums or tanks, or explosive conditions due to contaminated vapors. Secure the area to protect against worker or public health risk or release
into the environment. The BSG Engineer/Representative will notify, as necessary, the MA DEP, the City of Northampton Fire Department and BSG. 3.04 STOCKPILE DETAILS A. Due to limited

may be stockpiled pending disposal. Stockpiles shall be: 1. Disposed of within 10 days of stockpile creation; and 2. Limited to a maximum size of 500 cy. B. Stockpiling MGP-impacted
soils destined for off-site thermal treatment shall be prohibited during the installation of the clean utility corridors. If encountered during clean utility corridor construction, materials
not acceptable for thermal treatment may be stockpiled upon approval by BSG/BSG Engineer. C. The creation of soil stockpiles of potentially-impacted material may be necessary, if encountered
during the hotel foundation and parking garage construction, but must be approved by BSG/BSG Engineer. Locations of stockpiles must not create any disturbances to nearby residences or
businesses. Stockpiles shall be protected from erosion. D. Materials shall be stockpiled on two sheets of 6-mil polyethylene plastic and securely covered with 6-mil polyethylene at the
end of each working day and when not in active use. Not in active use is defined as no soil being added to or removed from the stockpile for greater than 30 minutes. Odor control foam
may be required to minimize odor generation from stockpiles during active use. Stockpiles shall be located away from construction activity, residential dwellings, water drainage pathways,
areas prone to flooding, or other environmentally sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands). Prevent access to stockpiles by the public.
