Title:
Western Upland Portion Remediation
Location:
Parcel 44 Western Upland Portion, Esquimalt, B.C.

Tenderers should note that Attachment contains the Drawings and Specifications Package (DSP) which consists of PDF files organized in an industry recognized directory structure.
Work Description:
The upland western portion of Parcel 44 remediation involves excavation of approximately 1,800 m3 of fill to a maximum depth of approximately 4 m below grade (mbg) and 210 m3 of clean sand backfill material from the adjacent remediated sites. Approximately 50 m3 of riprap/boulder fill material will be excavated, segregated, transported to and from the stockpile area for placement at the site perimeter.
Metals and PAH concentrations are less than the BC Hazardous Waste Regulation standards.
The site is adjacent toEsquimalt Harbour, and in limited analysis the subsurface soils are impacted by sodium and chloride (Na/Cl) from tidal influx and / or placement of dredged material as fill at the site.
All excavated soil will be transported to one of the temporary stockpile locations on Esquimalt IR land adjacent to the site as shown on Drawing 2 for characterization by the Departmental Representative. Soil will be disposed of off-site based on the stockpile characterization data. Excavated soil that is characterized as meeting the CCME RL guidelines and is geotechnically suitable may be re-used as backfill.
After remediation is complete, replacement fill will be required to restore the site to preexcavation
conditions. The final grade of the site will slope gently southwards towards Plumper Bay.
