  1. Stone mason continues setting stone.
  2. Placement and compaction of semi-pervious fill adjacent to Paintshop Pond dam.
  3. Excavation of hydraulic fill in uplands east of IT treatment area and onsite reuse as semi-pervious fill adjacent to the PSP dam area.
  4. Placing riprap around PSP dam.
  5. Pull sheetpiling in Lake Waban.
  6. Continue managing soil in the remaining consolidation area (west field area).
  7. Complete temporary interior drain swale in consolidation area.
  8. Continue preparing subgrades in vicinity of the water quality swale area.
  9. Miscellaneous excavation of borrow soil and filling.
  10. Miscellaneous excavation of contaminated soil (if encountered).
  11. Prepare to begin storm drainage work.
  12. Continue boardwalk carpentry.
  13. Continue installing erosion and sediment controls.
  14. Continue to treat soil/pigment (using ferrous sulfate and/or calcium polysulfide reagent).
  15. Haley & Aldrich to collect additional confirmatory samples in grid cells adjacent to areas where sand and gravel was placed (northern shoreline/western cove).
  16. Continue health and safety air monitoring.

    Activities conducted during the week of 1/14/02 include:
  1. Stone mason continued setting stone.
  2. Peat installation nearly completed in southern wetland.
  3. Relocated stockpile of clean peat to provide access to underlying granular borrow soil.
  4. Install perimeter drain on completed portions of the engineered barrier and install a temporary poly-lined swale at the interior drain area of the consolidation area to handle drainage from the capped area (poly-lined to keep separate the clean water off the capped area out of the lower [west field] still being filled with contaminated soil.)
  5. Manufacture additional select borrow (if needed).
  6. Continued management of soil in the remaining consolidation area (west field area).
  7. Placement and compaction of semi-pervious fill adjacent to Paintshop Pond dam
  8. Placed select borrow over the geocomposite and geomembrane.
  9. Miscellaneous excavation of borrow soil and filling.
  10. Miscellaneous excavation of contaminated soil.
  11. Place material along sheeting in Lake Waban for slope stabilization.
  12. Excavated hydraulic fill in uplands east of IT treatment area and onsite reuse as semi-pervious fill adjacent to the PSP dam area.
  13. Continued installing erosion and sediment controls.
  14. Continue preparing subgrades in vicinity of the water quality swale area.
  15. Began boardwalk carpentry.
  16. Treated soil/pigment (using ferrous sulfate and/or calcium polysulfide reagent).
  17. Excavated treated and tested soil.
  18. Completed placing sand and gravel for bank stabilization where required in areas dredged (northern shoreline/western cove).
  19. Continue health and safety air monitoring.
