Paper Attachments Needed

(an environmental professional may be necessary to answer some of the following)

  • Project site map
  • Location map
  • Summary of environmental investigations of both the SOURCE site and the IMPORT site. For dredged materials, this is only necessary for the SOURCE site.
  • Summary of the chemical results, including columns from the table Part 375-6.8(b) [scroll to the second table] (link leaves DEC's website) Protection of Public Health-Residential and Protection of Groundwater compounds and color-code values in excess of either column in red.
  • Plan for receiving site on the specifics of where and how much BUD materials will be used. The site management plan will have this information.
  • Any available test for the sizes of the material (gravel/sand/silt/clay) (usually the sieve data using a Wentworth scale).
  • If the material is dredged materials and are less than 95% sand, where will it be amended?:
  • What is the minimal percentage of optimal moisture and shear strength? This requires a licensed professional engineer to be consulted and to sign off on this information.
  • Description of the environmental controls when placing the materials

If the proposed BUD material does not meet any of the Protection of Public Health-Residential or Protection of Groundwater values from table Part 375-6.8(b) [scroll to the second table] (link leaves DEC's website), you need to contact NYSDEC staff to determine if more information is necessary.

Attachments to be included on CD

  • Raw data from environmental investigations for both SOURCE site and IMPORT site (unless dredged materials, then only SOURCE site)
  • Raw data from chemical sampling
  • Boring logs
  • Phase 1 and 2 site investigations, Environmental Data Reviews (EDRs) and all other environmental investigations
  • Chemical Summary Table in MS Excel format
