Science Advisor Scope of Work -PCB Landfill
I. Develop PCB Landfill detoxification project master plan, including: _,,,,..
1. Review all appropriate and applicable information and provide written
report evaluating existing environmental conditions at landfill, considering
at least the following:
(a) Groundwater quality, volume and flow, monitoring systems
(b) Leachate, volume, chemical characteristics, extraction,
treatment and application systems
(c) Surface water quality, volume and flow, monitoring systems
including sediment
( d) Gas venting system, volume and flow and chemical
characteristics
( e) All chemical/physical sampling and analysis data including
all toxic constituents, specifically dioxins and furans
(f) Natural and engineered characteristics of the site and landfill
(g) Other considerations deemed appropriate by the working
group
Ui) S'4 itT"1 PROCOTOLS
2. Provide recommendations and processes for additional evaluations,
monitoring or other protective measures required as a pre-requisite for
detoxification or until detoxification is accomplished.
(a) Review two existing groundwater monitoring proposals
submitted by Division of Solid Waste Management staff and
George Bain, P.G., and recommend actions for
implementing.
(b) Provide oversight for implementation of planned routine bi-
annual monitoring, sampling, and analytical events •
including: quality assurance, quality control for dioxins and
furans at all monitoring locations.
( c) Evaluate the need to remove water in landfill as a
prerequisite for detoxification and as a safety factor to
control releases from the landfill.
( d) Provide recommendations for other protective measures
deemed appropriate by the Working Group, such as off-site
monitoring and evaluation of landfill liner systems.

for detoxification oflandfill.
(a) Review existing criteria for selection of alternative
detoxification technology and vendor selection and
recommend any changes to facilitate selection process.
(b) Identify and recommend process for consideration, selection
and implementation of additional detoxification technologies
and vendors.
(c) Review BCD permits submitted to EPA by SoilTech and
ETC for R&D under the TSCA, and make comments and
recommendations concerning technical and administrative
issues (including budget) to Working Group.
(d) Design and/or draft RFPs/contracts for tasks required to
support and implement detoxification efforts.
( e) Design or draft RFP for providing materials from the landfill
for pilot/bench scale detoxification technology studies
(excavation, storage, drying and delivery to vendors).
(f) Prepare technical reports on detoxification efforts that are
of sufficient quality for scientific peer review as well as
sufficient clarity for use in presentations for community
involvement and understanding, and support efforts in the
General Assembly for funding detoxification of the landfill.

scientific accuracy and can be understood by the community.
4. Provi'J~in direct communications and public participation on
detoxific~rts in the Warren County community.
III. Develop proposals and plans for legislative support of detoxification efforts
1. Prepare/plan for all elements essential to inform members of the General
Assembly of the necessity of detoxifying the landfill.
2. Prepare information on alternatives for detoxification, selection of
alternatives, pros and cons of alternatives, cost of alternatives and basis for
selection of specific alternative.
