2. ADDITIONAL SURVEY FOR SELECTING AN EXPERIMENTAL SITE;
ORGANIZATION AND METHODOLOGY OF WORK
2.1 Work program characteristics
Field work and laboratory researches at the pilot project Phase 1 were based on the results of the
demonstration project Environmental Remediation of the Decommissioned Military Base on
Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago in 2008. Work was carried out according to the
regulatory document requirements regulating the survey of the areas of technological infrastructure
elements, organization and conduction of observations of soil and ground contamination.
The scope of work was as follows:
additional survey of the infrastructure elements to specify the number and location of the most
environmentally hazardous equipment, select the experimental site to be cleaned up and remediated;
determination of the number and exact location of especially hazardous technological
infrastructure elements using the global positioning system (WGS-84 Coordinate System);
determination of the presence of PCB-containing equipment in the technological infrastructure
(transformers, radars, etc.), other equipment that is a source of extremely high contamination with
aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals as well as storage of PCB-containing
technical liquids (hydraulic and transformer oils) and accumulations of drums with spent industrial
and motor oils;
record of labeling of the tanks for technical liquids, oils and potentially PCB-containing
equipment (radar assemblies, condensers and transformers of various capacity);
collection of samples of technical liquids and spent industrial and motor oils (no t less than
30).
identification of technical liquids and oils to be disposed based on standard specifications for
the types of production using laboratory testing methods
1:1000 scale map development and plotting of the position of hazardous and other
infrastructure elements at surveyed areas;
soil sampling at the sites under technological facilties, which are sources of extremely high
contamination not less than 25 samples (from 4 to 6 per site);
chemical analytical study of soil samples collected in the course of field work for oil products
(total) PCB (-#28, #31, #52, #99, #101, #105, #118, #128, #138, #153, #156, #170, #180, #183,
#187), PAH (naphthalene, benz(a)pyrene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluoranthene, fluorene,
phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, chrysene, benz(b)fluoranthene,
benz(k)fluoranthene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, indeno(1,2,3-,d)-pyrene, benz(g,h,i)perylene),
VAH(benzene, toluene, orthoxylene, sum of meta- and para- xylenes, ethylbenzene,
isopropylbenzene (cumene), 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene) and heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium,
cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, manganese, chrome, tin);
determination of the level of soil pollution at the locations of especially hazardous
technological facilities;
cameral processing of field work materials and results of chemical analytical study of
specimens and samples;
assessment of the level of soil pollution at surveyed technological facilities according to
FINAL REPORT for Contract No. CS-NPA-Arctic-13/2009 of December 01, 2009 within the framework of pilot project Development of
Technology of clean up of the area of Decommissioned Sites of The Russian Federation Ministry of Defense in the Arctic by the
Example of Alexandra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago from Hazardous Waste
