Summary report of soil removal preliminary excavations

  • 1. Rockwell International, Golden, CO

Description

This report discusses a proposed technique to remove small areas, less than 2,000 m2, of contaminated soil and the results of an actual excavation. Based on the results of a trial excavation in uncontaminated soil and an excavation of two trenches in contaminated soil, it is concluded that the techniques described are a satisfactory means of contaminated soil removal. It can be done safely with a release of airborne plutonium a factor of 10 or more below the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) limit
