530/F-93/004, Method 9095, paint filter liquids test.
b.
The sum of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX)
concentrations shall be determined by using EPA 530/F-93/004,
Method [5030/8020] [_____].
c.
TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons) concentrations shall be
determined by using EPA 530/F-93/004, Method [8015] [_____], which
has been modified for use with soil.
d.
Material shall be tested for TOX (total organic halogens) in
accordance with EPA 530/F-93/004, Method [9020] [_____].
e.
Material shall be analyzed for full TCLP in accordance with EPA
530/F-93/004, Method [1311][_____] and for ignitability,
corrosivity, and reactivity.
f.
Material shall be tested for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) in

Disposal of Stockpiled Soils
a.
Soils exhibiting TPH less than [100] [_____] ppm, BTEX less than
[10] [_____] ppm, TOX less than [100] [_____] ppm, passing TCLP
tests, and testing negative for PCB's shall be considered clean as
shall be disposed of [on-site] [on station] as directed by the
Contracting Officer.
b.
Soils failing the TCLP test or exhibiting TOX greater than [100]
[_____] ppm shall be managed in accordance with [applicable State
and local regulations] [_____]. Payment for disposal of materials
failing the TCLP metals test or TOX test shall be made in
accordance with the "CHANGES" clause of the General Conditions.
c.
If the concentration of total BTEX is greater than [10] [_____]
ppm or TPH greater than [100] [_____] ppm, the soil shall be
treated and disposed of at a permitted soil recycling facility.
