The work plan outlines the activities that will be conducted at <br /> the Tugman Landfill site. Preliminary work has already begun, and the rest <br /> of the work will begin mid-August. <br /> The~~vork plan consists of four elements: initial site controls, site <br /> characterization, risk assessment, and a feasibility study. Initial site <br /> control activities include grading to remove the steep slope on the northern <br /> edge of the landfill, placing additional soil cover over portions of the <br /> landfill, and separating Tugman Creek from the toe of the landfill. <br /> Site characterization activities consist of mapping the site surface and <br /> the bound',aries of the buried waste. Samples will be collected of stream <br /> sediment, surface water, goundwater, and gas. The samples will be used to <br /> develop site grading and drainage control plans. <br /> A risk assessment will be conducted after the initial site control <br /> <br /> measures aVe been implemented and site characterization data collected. The <br /> assessment will determine whether additional corrective actions are needed. <br /> If necessary, a feasibility study will be conducted to identify and evaluate <br /> alternatives for remediation of any exposure risks that still exist after the <br /> initial site controls and subsequent removal measures are implemented. <br /> <br />
