:y. <br />' plant will be covered with 6 inches of compacted non-permeable clay. Subsequently, the soils above <br />' 10 mg/Kg 2,4-D will be placed on the clay to a thickness no greater than 8 inches to allow the soils to <br />naturally aerate. A berm of I.5 feet height compacted clay will be placed around the entire perimeter <br />of the soil and clay base..The clay base and berm are included to prevent any contamination from <br />' entering the soils, ground water and surface waters around the site. The size of the clay liner and <br />berm will be determined by the amount of soils above 10 mg/Kg encountered. If the amount were to <br />be 50 cubic yards, the size of the clay lined area needed would be 1800 square feet or an area 42.4 <br />' feet x 42.4 feet, not counting the berm. A sketch of the proposed clay-lined area is enclosed as <br />Figure 2. <br />' Due to the rapid breakdown of 2,4-D upon exposure to air, it is expected that levels in the segregated <br />material will fall to below the 10 mg/Kg limit within a few weeks. Sampling will be conducted at <br />every 600 square feet interval within the clay-lined area until all material is below this limit. The <br />' samples will be sent to an accredited laboratory to test for 2,4-D. This will be done at two week <br />intervals until the levels drop below 10 mg/Kg for the entire clay-lined area. This will be determined <br />by laboratory analysis. Once this is achieved, the material will be hauled to the Eagle County <br />' approved disposal facility. As previously mentioned, We believe that the chances of any significant <br />quantity of material being above the 10 mg/Kg limit are remote. <br />3) If any material is encountered which is below 0.1 mg/Kg concentration of 2,4-D, this material will <br />be allowed to remain on site with no treatment. B&B will not allow any of this material to enter the <br />kiln for asphalt production. It will simply be kept on site and allowed to naturally aerate. This <br />concentration level should not present any danger for contamination to ground water or surface water <br />' since a) the compaction of the yazd surface is very high and b) the known chemistry of the 2,4-D <br />shows significant adsorbtion in the gravel and soil materials and c) the klevels the application rate <br />for 2,4-D to be effective in weed control on surface soils is 2.0 mg/Kg. <br /> <br /> <br />
