  4. Continue concrete work in the vicinity of Paintshop Pond dam.
  5. Continue backfilling portions of the southern wetland, use clean peat as backfill as necessary.
  6. Begin operation of soil screen plant to make select soil types/gradations for clean fill operations.
  7. Continue managing northern shoreline/western cove dredge material directly in the consolidation area.
  8. Continued operation of multi-media and bag filter treatment system at the main dewatering sump.
  9. Excavate clean borrow soils from Borrow B.
  10. Possibly excavate contaminated soil from northernmost portion of site.

  13. Complete dredging area WC-2 using the barge to transfer dredge spoils to shoreline.
  14. Begin dredging area WC-3 and possibly area WC-1.
  15. Collect additional verification samples in areas previously dredged.
  16. Treat soil/pigment (including soil brought to expanded treatment area south of main treatment area) using both calcium polysulfide and ferrous sulfate.

    Activities conducted during the week of 11/5/2001 include:
  1. Continued remedial excavation in Waban Brook and southern wetland.
  2. Continued placing, grading, and compacting contaminated fill brought into the consolidation area.

  5. Continued managing northern shoreline/western cove dredge material directly in the consolidation area.
  6. Continued operation of multi-media and bag filter treatment system at the main dewatering sump.
  7. Completed dredging areas NS-4 and WC-3 and began dredging area WC-2.
  8. Dredged spoils were loaded into barges for primary dewatering. Maxymillian Technology is using a barge equipped with a sump to dewater dredged spoils prior to transport to the shoreline. Barges are then transported to shore where material is excavated from barge loaded into trucks and placed in the uplands.
  9. Continued using a partial trailing curtain behind the dredging barge. This trailing curtain extends from shore to approximately ½ the width of the proposed remediation area.
  10. Continue health and safety air monitoring.
