Statement of Work The purpose of this purchase is to obtain contractor support to perform orthophthalic polyester encapsulation (OPE) and vinyl ester styrene (VES) stabilization treatment processes on various hazardous waste streams. These hazardous waste streams consist of five contaminants spiked into four separate waste types. The five contaminants to be prepared are Lead, Chromium(VI), Strontium, Cesium and Arsenic(III). The four separate waste types are synthetic soil (utersol), Idaho Falls soil (soil 1), Savannah River soil (soil 2) and Fernald metal sludge. The contractor shall identify and quantify the constituents of each stabilization process. The contractor shall follow all related RCRA and State regulations concerning treatability for collecting, preparing, testing and disposing of the contaminants and waste types. The EPA will supply the waste streams (soil samples) to the contractor for processing. There will be a total of eight soil samples. Each soil sample shall be mixed with the stabilization treatment process in a predetermined waste/process ratio, cast and cured following manufacturer's suggestions. A total of 22 samples shall be cast in 2 x 4 inch cylindrical sample holders from each treatment process mix prepared. The sample holders will also be supplied to the contractor by theEPA. For the eight soil samples and each type of treatment process, a total of 176 samples shall be prepared. Since, we are processing waste samples in two different kinds of treatment processes, a total of 352 samples shall be made. Therefore, based on the available resources, the contractor shall perform the following tasks: Task 1: Process and prepare a total of 176 solidified samples by mixing the EPA supplied waste soil samples with OPE treatment process. Deliverable: Ship the 176 solidified samples to a to be determined location by EPA Project Officer (no later than June 10, 1998) for further evaluation. Due Date: June 30, 1998 Task 2: Process and prepare a total of 176 solidified samples by mixing the EPA supplied waste soil samples with VES treatment process.
