1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results

2.1.1 Narrative
Riverbank restoration activity continues in BRSA 3. Excavation of contaminated riverbank soils and in-stream sediments commenced in BRSA 4. Mobilization of equipment and materials to the staging area is underway into BRSA 6.

2.1.2 Response Actions During Reporting Period

BRSA 3
- Placement of rock and top soil, also known as 'joint planting,' was completed;
- Feeder stream crossings which connect water draining from floodplains to the river were re-established; and
- Transport/disposal of approximately 645 tons of excavated soils to an EPA-approved landfill facility (see Section 2.1.4).

BRSA 4
- Excavation of contaminated soils commenced with excavation completed in Grids 1-20. There are 50 total grids in BRSA 4, with each grid consisting of approximately 50 lineal feet of riverbank. The target clean-up goal in the riverbank soils is 5 mg/kg total PCBs;
- Excavation of contaminated in-stream sediments commenced with excavation underway in the first of two 'stream tubes' in BRSA 4, which is located within the river channel immediately adjacent to Grids 15-24. The target clean-up goal for in-stream sediments is 1 mg/kg total PCBs;

The final excavation depths and reported confirmation sampling results are found in the tables below for riverbank grids (Table 1) and in-stream sediments (Table 2):

2.1.4 Progress Metrics

Both quantities during the reporting period ('Quantity' column) and totals to date ('Total' column) are included in the table.

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities
During the next reporting period, the following activities are expected to occur:

BRSA 3
- Continue riverbank restoration;
- Complete transport of contaminated sediments & riverbank soils for disposal; and
- Decommission and demobilize WWTP along with other equipment from staging area.

BRSA 4
- Continue excavation of contaminated riverbank soils and in-stream sediments;
- Treatment of contact water from contaminated grids and contaminated soils staging pad; and
- Transport of contaminated soils and sediments for disposal.

BRSA 6
- Commence construction of staging area and stabilization pad;
- Mobilize WWTP along with other supporting equipment into staging area; and
- Construct access roads to improve access to riverbanks.

SITEWIDE
- Operate dust and turbidity control/monitoring systems;
- Complete mussel relocation;
- Treat invasive Japanese Knotweed; and
- Maintain/monitor temporary WCS.

2.2.1.1 Planned Response Activities

See Sections 2.2.1 & 2.2.1.2

2.2.1.2 Administrative Activities / Next Steps
- The draft TM for BRSAs 7 & 8 was submitted by AMEC-FW on June 23 for review and comment.

2.2.2 Issues

2.5.1 Safety Officer

A safety meeting is held prior to start of work each day, which includes warm up and stretching exercises led by a crew member (see photo). The meeting is led by on-site safety officer(s) representing both Envirocon and AMEC-FW.

2.5.2 Liaison Officer

- A tour was provided for 26 students from the Western Michigan University (WMU) - Hydrogeology Field Course on June 20. 
- Dr. Lisa Williams and Kelly Bakayza of US FWS toured the site on June 21. Dr. Williams is a Natural Resource Trustee for the State of Michigan.

2.5.3 Information Officer
