SPILLS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Regarding preestablished spill reporting
procedures, the designer should consult CEMP-RT
memorandum of 20 July 1995, Subject: Spill
Reporting Procedures for USACE Personnel Involved in
HTRW Projects.
Evaluate whether a contingency plan is needed per 40
CFR 262.34. This regulation is a potential
requirement for large quantity generators of
hazardous waste. At military installations, a plan
is typically already in place.
**************************************************************************
In the event of a spill or release of a hazardous substance (as designated
in 40 CFR 302), pollutant, contaminant, or oil (as governed by the Oil
Pollution Act (OPA), 33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), the Contractor shall notify
the Contracting Officer immediately. If the spill exceeds the reporting
threshold, the Contractor shall follow the pre-established procedures as
described in the [RCRA Contingency Plan] [Base Wide Contingency Plan]
[_____] for immediate reporting and containment. Immediate containment
actions shall be taken to minimize the effect of any spill or leak.
Cleanup shall be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local
regulations. As directed by the Contracting Officer, additional sampling
and testing shall be performed to verify spills have been cleaned up.
Spill cleanup and testing shall be done at no additional cost to the
Government.

BACKFILLING
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If allowed by the regulatory authority, field
analyses should be used to reduce laboratory
turn-around time and minimize the duration an
excavation must be left open.
After completion of backfilling, a 0.15 meter (6
inch) layer of top soil is typically placed in areas
that are not paved. The topsoil is placed in a
single lift to the lines and grades shown on the
drawings. Top soil and seeding requirements should
be described in a different section of the
specification package.
**************************************************************************
3.8.1
Confirmation Test Results
Excavations shall be backfilled immediately after all contaminated
materials have been removed and confirmation test results have been
approved. Backfill shall be placed and compacted to the lines and grades
shown on the drawings.
3.8.2
Compaction
