Existing trees, shrubs, and other ground
cover is a buffer to soil erosion and they
shall be protected. During construction, the
Contractor shall exercise great care to
preclude damages to existing vegetation that
might be caused by construction equipment.
Construct barriers made of wood or steel to
surround trees and other vegetation.
c.
Workers at the construction site shall be
cognizant of the erosion and sediment plan
and shall be involved in guarding against
damages to vegetated areas caused by humans.

Sediment Control Devices
Displaced soil particles produced by rainfall or
surface run-off can have a harmful effect on the
environment and create clogging problems in the
drainage system. If vegetative cover is not
appropriate, a structural sediment control device
shall be employed to guard off against damages
caused by sedimentation.
Commonly used sediment control devices that are
also acceptable under the New York Guidelines for
Urban Erosion and Sediment Control include:
a.
Stabilized Construction Entrance
At
entrances
and
exit
points
to
the
construction site, provide a stabilized pad
of aggregates for capturing mud or sediment
that may be transported by vehicular traffic.
Use 2” stone or reclaimed concrete equivalent
that is well compacted over the sub-grade to
maintain the dimensions (width, length and
depth) of the site entrances and exits. Build
stabilized construction entrances having at a
minimum, 12” thick stone or layered recycled
concrete material with 12” depth. Replace
aggregates on an as-needed basis after
rainfall events.
b.
Silt Fence
Perimeter of disturbed area shall be fencedoff using a geotextile fabric (filter cloth)
similar to Harris Silt Fence to minimize
runoff velocity and limit damages caused by
carried over sediment. Construction of silt
fence
shall
conform

Storm Drain Inlet Protection
Keep silting of underground storm drainage
piping from occurring and contain off-site
pollution caused by sediment laden run-off
using a permeable barrier around drain
inlets. Typical drain inlets protection to be
utilized include: (1) stone & block drop
inlet protection and (2) fabric drop inlet
protection
1)
Stone & Block Drop Inlet Protection
Build barrier made of blocks and stones
that reach at least one (1) foot high in
front of the storm drain inlet. The
block protection shall be constructed in
a manner that allows water to drain
through a few block openings. Use clean
stone or gravel 1/2" to 3/4" in diameter
placed 2” below the top of the block on
a 2:1 slope or flatter as recommended by
the U.S Department of Agriculture.
2)
Fabric Drop Inlet Protection
Another means for preventing clogging of
the drainage system caused by deposited
sediment is to build a protective
barrier made of filter fabric. Top of
the barrier shall be so arranged as to
enable overflow to drain into the
drainage structure. Supporting stakes
for the filtering fabric are necessary;
they shall measure 3 feet long and
surround the drainage structure in all
sides. Stakes materials shall be 2” x 4”

Placement
a.
General:
Begin fill and backfilling in the
lowest section of the area. Spread material
evenly by mechanical equipment or by manual
means above the approved compacted subgrade
in lifts not exceeding 6" to 8" for material
compacted by heavy machinery and 4" for
material compacted by hand tamping.
Build
layers as horizontally as practical to
prevent thickness of lift from exceeding that
specified
but
provide
with
sufficient
longitudinal and transverse slope to provide
for runoff of surface water from every point.
b.
Moisture Control: The moisture-density curve
for the fill use shall be supplied to the
Contractor as a guide in controlling moisture
to achieve the required degree of compaction.
If, in the opinion of the Special Inspector,
fill material becomes too wet for the
required compaction, the fill shall be dried
by a method approved by the Special Inspector
prior to commencing or continuing compaction
operations. Likewise, if, in the opinion of
the Special Inspector, the fill material
becomes too dry for the required compaction,
the fill shall be moistened by a method
approved by the Special Inspector prior to
commencing
or
continuing
compaction
operations.
Compaction:
Compact each lift to the degree of
compaction indicated below.
The degree of
compaction shall be checked by the Special
Inspector and each successive lift shall not be
placed or compacted until the previous lift is
inspected and approved by the Special Inspector.

Introduction
This Excavated Materials Disposal Plan (EMDP) describes the procedures to be followed for the
characterization, excavation, management, transportation and disposal of material excavated at
____________________ (insert Site name and location) in accordance with SCA Specification
Section 02200 (change to 02201, if applicable), (insert Design # and date). This work will be
performed by ___________________ (insert name of excavation contractor) under contract
with _________________________ (insert name of general contractor, if applicable).
Project activities associated with this EMDP include the characterization, excavation,
management, transportation, and disposal of approximately ______ (insert amount) cubic yards
of non-hazardous excavated material (change to appropriate category if the EMDP is being
prepared for non-hazardous industrial waste, petroleum contaminated material, and/or
hazardous waste) for the construction of the _________________ (insert project type – new
school, addition, flood elimination project, etc.).
All material excavated from the Site is assumed to meet the definition of non-hazardous
excavated material (change to appropriate category if the EMDP is being prepared for nonhazardous industrial waste, petroleum contaminated material and/or hazardous waste).
According to Specification Section 02200, Section 1.04, the following definitions apply to this
project: (conform below with the project specifications)
Non-Hazardous Excavated Material
Material that may include or contain mixtures of the following: soil (including, but not limited to,
natural undisturbed material), debris, concrete and concrete products (including steel or fiberglass
reinforcing rods that are embedded in the concrete), asphalt pavement, brick, glass, rock, municipal
solid waste, refuse, and incidental ash. This material includes material defined in Title 6 New York
Code of Rules and Regulations 360-7.1(b)(i) and will exceed 6 NYCRR 375-6 Unrestricted Use
and Restricted Use Soil Cleanup Objectives and NYSDEC CP-51: Soil Cleanup Guidance
Supplemental Soil Cleanup Objectives.
All material excavated from the site is assumed to meet the definition of non-hazardous excavated
material.
Petroleum-Contaminated Material
Material (soil, concrete, sediment, UST contents, fill, debris, etc.) that meets the NYSDEC STARS
Memo #1 definition of petroleum-contaminated material from known source areas. Petroleumcontaminated material shall be evidenced by the following observations and be from a known
source area: producing higher than background responses on a portable vapor meter such as a
photo ionization detector or flame ionization detector, petroleum-like odor, visual impacts (e.g.,
staining or discoloration), proximity to known releases from existing or historic petroleum storage
tanks or systems, and exceed the soil cleanup levels for gasoline and/or fuel oil contaminated soil
provided in the NYSDEC CP-51: Soil Cleanup Guidance. The determination as to whether the
excavated material is petroleum-contaminated or is non-petroleum contaminated material will be
made by analytical testing of representative material samples. All sampling shall be performed
under the supervision of the Authority’s IEH Division or its representative. The Contractor shall
provide the IEH Division with qualitative and quantitative information, and the IEH Division shall
make the final determination as to whether or not the material is petroleum-contaminated and the
appropriate disposal.

MANAGEMENT OF EXCAVATED SOIL
(Describe the procedures for excavation work – for instance, number and types of excavators?
Is there any hand excavation work anticipated?)
On-site personnel involved in excavation activities shall comply with applicable Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules and regulations, New York City Department of
Buildings (NYCDOB) requirements, and the Health and Safety Plan (HASP) presented as
Appendix A to this EMDP.
Excavated soil, if not directly loaded into trucks for transportation and disposal, will be
stockpiled on-site. Stockpiles will be placed on and covered with heavy duty tarps secured by
sand bags.
Dust suppression will be performed during work activities where the potential for elevated dust
conditions exists. Water will be used to spray/mist excavation areas in these instances. There
will be no visible dust emissions from the work areas. Other dust suppression techniques which
may be utilized include speed limits for trucks in unpaved areas, maintenance of Site paving as
long as practical, and minimization of excavation activities during periods of high winds. (Note
– if a community air monitoring program [CAMP] is required by the specifications, briefly
describe the CAMP requirements and implementation.)
