This VCUP focuses on the clean up of toxaphene contaminated soils. The
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) recently had a similar situation in
' Sterling, Colorado and CDPHE agreed on the following clean-up standards
(which ASCI is proposing here):
' Clean Closure (unrestricted use) - 0.40 mg/kg
Solid Waste - >0.40 mg/kg but < 40 mg/kg
Hazardous Waste - >40 mg/kg
' 5.0 Voluntary Clean Up Proposal
' 5.1 Description of Remedial Plan
' Soils containing toxaphene concentrations above 40 mg/kg will be
excavated by shovel or loader and placed directly into trucks for
immediate off-site transport to an approved disposal facility (ASCI plans
' on using it's own personnel and equipment for this work). No facility
has been chosen yet but options include;
' Clean Harbors -Kimball, Nebraska
Safety Kleen -Grassy Mountain, Utah
HLA/Waste Management -Lake Charles, Louisiana
