REMEDIAL ACTION WORK PLAN OPERABLE UNIT 2, LANDFILL ...

7.0 Introduction
This Remedial Action Work Plan (lWIVP) describes the methods and procedures to execute and
accomplish the remedial work involved with the Fort Ord Operable Unit 2 (OU2) Landfill
Closure. The permanent remedial work consists of demolition, well abandonment, excavation of
refuse, landfill cover construction, revegetation of the work areas, and restoration of roads and
sidewalks. Temporary needs for closure include traffic control, construction support facilities,
security, safety, and utility services. This RAWP also considers the needs for environmental
protection, health and safety, and community relations.
The USACE, through the Total Environmental Restoration Contract (TERC), is constructing the
landfill cap in accordance with approved documents including the Record of Decision (ROD)
and the Harding Lawson Associates (HLA) design. TERC employs a designhuild mechanism
to perform the remedial work. This mechanism allows latitude for the contractor, IT Corporation
(IT), to suggest time and cost-saving measures and improvements without compromising the
intent of the ROD, the design, or the quality of the work. The lWWP includes these time and
cost-saving measures as constructibility improvements for consideration by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and regulatory agencies.
IT is incorporating these constructibility improvements to the HLA design, which is the base
document, in this RAWP. These improvements enhance the overall design approved by the Base
Cleanup Team (BCT) and are meant to define those areas which deviate from the approved
design. BCT approval is requested to adapt these improvements to the approved design.
These improvements do not change the basic design concepts and performance specifications
approved in the HLA design documents. The design consists of capped landfill areas within a
low permeable liner and vegetative cover. Therefore, no Explanation of Significant Differences
(ESD) amendments are required to the ROD based on these constructibility improvements, The
only ESD requirement, which adds cleanup criteria to the ~eas to be consolidated, is currently
undergoing review by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA),
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB), and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
