Specifications include, but are not limited to: Review existing information (to be provided by EPA GLNPO) and recommend additional investigation or testing needed to complete the remedial design for TSCA sediment. If additional investigation or testing are needed: Prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)[footnoteRef:2] and revise as needed for EPA approval. [2: Prepared in accordance with EPA QA/R-5: EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans. An approvable plan must be submitted to EPA at least 90 days prior to initiating data collection or compilation per 2 CFR 1500.12.] Develop a pre-design investigation workplan and implement the approved plan, including documentation of the work in accordance with NR 700 requirements. Assist with determinations under Section 106 National Historic Preservation Act, consultation under Section 7 Endangered Species Act, and similar state requirements for historic preservation and protected plant and animal species (Wis. Stat. chs. 44 and 23). Identify staging areas for construction and disposal options for TSCA sediment. Provide geotechnical analysis of seaway stability near the TSCA sediment remediation areas and develop plan to maximize the dredge volumes of TSCA sediment with appropriate safety factor. Prepare engineering design plans and specifications for TSCA sediment remediation, with deliverables anticipated at the 60, 90 and 100 percent design stages. Develop engineering cost estimates for the preliminary and final designs. Evaluate and report on the constructability prior to finalizing the design. Prepare a Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 724 Remedial Action Design Report and a construction quality assurance (CQA) plan. Assist with applications for federal and state permits and approvals for the remedial action, including but not limited to; TSCA, Rivers and Harbors Act Sections 10 and 408, Clean Water Act Sections 401 & 404 and Wis. Stat. chs. 23, 30, 281, 283, 285 and 292. Assist with development of materials and participate in public outreach. Summarize design plans and progress to EPA GLNPO and other partners for the GLLA project.
