Work Description:
This document details remedial soil excavation and disposal, in-stream sediment remediation,  and site restoration work to be completed at the Colwood Site #30 (COL 30), CFB Esquimalt, Colwood, BC (the Site). The Site is located northeast of the Wilfert Road security checkpoint at the entrance to CFB Esquimalt’s Colwood property. The Site consists of a forested area that slopes to the southeast towards Joe’s Creek, bounded by the previous extent of remediation completed on the southeast slope of Joe’s Creek.

Access to the Site will be from a vacant lot adjacent to the Site to the northwest (former Biocell remediation area).  To gain access to the remediation area for COL-30, an access road will need to be constructed from the northwest area and will include grubbing and vegetation removal.  
Previous investigations and remediation have identified metals impacts in surficial soils on the forested slope to the northwest of the creek and adjacent to the creek, and in sediment within the creek.  These impacts will be removed by remedialexcavation according to the following areas:

• Area 3: Remediation of the southeast bank of Joe’s Creek northwest of the current silt fence adjacent to the previously completed COL-30 remediation and will also include the in-stream remediation of Joe’sCreek, and the soil impacts identified on the northwest bank of Joe’s Creek.  
• Area 3 Septic Field:  Decommissioning and remediation of the previously unexcavated septic field at the south end of the previous Area 4 excavation.  The septic field was disconnected in the summer of 2016 and sanitary discharge is currently routed to a septic tank south west of Building 59.
• Area 4: Remediation of the remainder of Area 4 will include the un-excavated portion adjacent to Joe’s Creek containing concentrations of metals greater than the BC Hazardous Waste Regulations (HWR) standards and an additional area of HWR soil centred on sample location SS-16-44.

Trees and brush from Areas 3 and 4 will be cleared by the Contractor.  Further work to remove fallen trees, logs, shrubs, and vegetation grubbing will be required by the Contractor to construct access roads and gain access to the remediation area.  Fallen trees and logs should be stockpiled to be used as course woody debris during site restoration.
