| Abstract: | The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is replacing existing riprap slope erosion control with a retaining wall in Kenosha, Wisconsin for the City of Kenosha. Three exploratory soil borings were installed along a portion of the existing riprap to collect physical information about the soils where the retaining wall will be installed. It was also decided at that time to collect environmental samples of the soils to be removed for disposal parameters. Three soil samples were collected from the upper five (5) feet of each boring. The soils samples were analyzed for the following parameters: • Nutrients (Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, and Phosphorus) • Metals (Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Nickel, Selenium, Silver, and Zinc.) • PNAs • Lab Combined TCLP RCRA Metals • Lab Combined TCLP SVOCs A fourth sample was collected from K-06-01 from a depth that exhibited petroleum odors and staining (7.5-9.5 feet bgs). The soil sample was analyzed for the following parameters: • PNAs • TCLP RCRA Metals • TCLP SVOCs The results of the 2006 investigation identified five PNAs located in the soils analyzed. All metals except mercury and silver had detectable levels in the soils analyzed. All TCLP results were non-detect for all compounds, both metals and SVOCs. |
