Earthwork
3 . 03 EXCAVATION
A. General Requirements
9 . Exercise extreme caution while excavating so as not
to damage the existing drainage structures , man-
holes, cable and duct lines , and other appurtenances
and structures not designated for removal .
10 . Any damage caused by the Contractor' s operations
shall be immediately repaired with materials and
methods approved by the Engineer at no cost to the
Authority.
3 . 07 TRACK CONTAMINANTS
A. The Contractor is advised that certain portions of the
material to be excavated may contain contaminants from
commuter operations . Any material exhibiting oil stain-
ing on the site will be considered to be contaminated
with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAH) unless
disputed via chemical analysis and literature references
showing otherwise . These contaminants, in sufficient
concentrations , are potentially hazardous materials .
B. Analytical Protocol
Analysis of the soil on site shall be done in the fol-
lowing phase :
a . PHASE ONE - Primary Analysis - which will consist of
both visual and olfactory inspection to be supple-
mented with head space screening of the soil using
an organic vapor detector . This must be done by a
professional environmental consultant who should be
in the field at all times during excavation.
b. PHASE TWO - Laboratory Analysis - which will consist
of more extensive laboratory analysis utilizing EPA
procedures . The following parameters will be
required ( sampling locations and frequency will be
left to the discretion of the on-site consultant '
with some reservations to be specified later ) .
- volatile organic compounds
- polychlorinated biphenyls
- pesticides/herbicides
- heavy metals
- others , as field conditions warrant and as
deemed necessary
c . Volatile organic analysis will , be required when
readings above 100 ppm are recorded on an organic
vapor detector calibrated to benzene .
C9CN21 02200-3
1987
Earthwork
d. The Massachusetts DEQE must give final approval of
soil receptor sites . Ground water monitoring may be
required if the receptor site is not a solid waste
facility; a limited number of receptors is prefer-
able .
C. Sampling
1 . Soil samples to be tested in accordance with the
requirements herein should be representative of the
composited material acquired upon removal of the in
situation condition and preparation for hauling from
the site .
2 . To simulate this condition, sampling at each sampl-
ing site shall consist of material taken from at
least three locations through the track support
structure cross-section, one at the centerline of
track and one at each end of tie . Equal amounts of
material shall be removed from each location and
shall include equal amount of material from just
below grade , 6-inches below the bottom of tie and
12-inches below the bottom of tie .
3 . The removed sampling material shall be thoroughly
mixed to achieve a consistently composited sample .
Testing can then proceed with the requirements as
specified herein and as otherwise required.
D. Soil Classification .
1 . Category I - Urban Fill
The material will be considered "urban fill" when a
sample generates <10 ppm with an organic vapor de-
tector calibrated to benzene , does not appear visi-
bly contaminated with grease and oil , have ordors ,
etc . , or come from areas where testing has indicated
highly elevated PAH. ( i.e . greater than 500 mg/kg
total PAH) .
These soils may be used on site , subject to the ap-
proval of the Engineer or may be removed for dis-
posal as solid waste or used as an urban fill in the
restricted manner . This restriction means that the
fill may not be used in residential or environmen-
tally sensitive areas . The preferred areas would be
industrial settings , under parking lots , roadways ,
etc . , in areas which would be capped or covered with
pavement or loam and seed. In the absence of such
options , the material is to be used at land fills
with appropriate local approvals .
C9CN21 02200-4
lH7
Earthwork
2 . Category II - Solid waste
Soils discolored with petroleum/combustion product
and/or possessing organic vapor screening results
between 10 - 100 ppm will be classified as solid
waste and must be disposed of at an approved sani-
tary land fill .
3 . Category III - Oil/Hazardous Material
Any soil that is overtly contaminated with petroleum
products, hazardous materials not associated with
petroleum/combustion products , or originates from
areas -where observed spills or contaminated sub-
surface layers are found must be segregated. All
soils >100 ppm on an organic vapor analyzer cali-
brated to benzene fit into this category despite the
presence or lack of observable staining.
Segregated Category III soils must be analyzed for
the previously-listed analytical parameters .
Based upon the types and levels of contaminants , the
Massachusetts DEQE will decide upon one of the
following disposal/re-use options :
( 1 ) The material could remain on-site , with or without
site preparation/encapsulation after a specific de-
termination of the soil data justifies such action .
( 2 ) The material must be removed from the site by a
licensed hazardous waste transporter , classified as
either :
( a ) "oil/hazardous material" , pursuant to M.G. L .
Chapter 21E . Disposal options limited to secure
oil spill debris land fills and/or asphalt-
batching plants .
( b) "hazardous waste" , pursuant to M.G. L . Chapter
21C and 310 CMR 30 , 000 . Disposal options
limited to a licensed, secure ( RCRA) facility.
E. Non-Aqueous Layers/Groundwater Contamination
Recoverable non-aqueous layers on the groundwater must
be removed, analyzed and properly disposed. Groundwater
at thse locations must be analyzed; groundwater treat-
ment may be necessary depending upon contaminant con-
centration, receptor impact , etc . Groundwater encount-
ered during excavation may require sampling based on the
C9CN21 02200-5
1987
Earthwork
on-site consultant ' s discretion. Contaminated ground-
water may not be discharged to surface water , ground
water ; or sewerage system without the necessary permits
and approvals .
F. Health and Safety
On site health and safety monitoring must be conducted
with appropriate field instruments to ensure that work-
ers in areas where overtly contaminated soils are prop-
erly protected. This must include provisions for pro-
tective clothing, respiratory protection, and personnel
decontamination procedures . A trained/certified health
and safety person must be present to conduct such moni-
toring and to keep detailed records .
G. The Contractor shall complete the certificate of Dumping
Facilities of the proposal .
Trucks used to transport the materials off-site shall be
constructed and loaded so as to prevent any of the load
from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping
during transport. All trucks shall be equipped with
tarps or other substantial type covers to prevent any
materials from spilling during transport .
3 . 08 AIR QUALITY
A. The Contractor is advised that certain operations per-
formed by him within the right-of-way could produce
unsafe breathing levels for patrons of the Authority' s
commuter system, its employees and the Contractor ' s work
forces . In addition to the monitoring of track con-
taminants as specified above , the professional environ-
mental consultant retained by the Contractor shall also
monitor air quality levels in station areas and the job
site .
B. The consultant shall monitor air quality in conformance
with the regulartory commissions having jurisdiction
over the work including, but not limited to , the Massa-
chusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering
( DEQE) , the Massachusetts State Department of Labor and
Industries , and the U. S . Department of Labor Occupation-
al Safety and Health Adminstration ( OSHA) . In the case
of conflict of regulations , the most stringent regula-
tion shall apply.
C. In the event that breathing levels fall below those re-
quired by the regulatory authorities , the consultant
shall immediately notify the Engineer or his designee
and shall order a stoppage of work . The Engineer shall
then direct the Contractor , on the advice of the en-
C9CM21 02200-6
1987
Earthwork
vironmental consultant, to provide supplementary ven-
tilation methods as required to restore the air to safe
breathing levels . work shall not , resume until these
levels are attained and maintained. Stoppages in work
shall not entitle the contractor to any additional
compensation nor lessen the Contractors requirements for
completing the work within the specified period.

G. The Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of all
scrap and surplus materials related to the undercutting
work . All scrap crossties , portions thereof , and other
related track materials classified as scrap shall become the
property of the Contractor and disposed of away from the
right-of-way. Burning or burying of scrap ties on the
jobsite will not be permitted.
3 . 02 FIELD ENGINEERING -
A. The Contractor shall perform all required field engineering
as specified in Section 01050 prior to the commencement of
undercutting operations .
3 . 03 UNDERCUTTING
A. The Contractor shall perform the undercutting work to remove
all existing ballast materials from under the track and the
cribs to a minimum depth of 12 inches below the proposed
bottom of crosstie and beyond the end of crosstie for a
distance of 6 foot 9 inches from the centerline of track on
the field and six foot side .
a . The depth of cut shall be continuously monitored by the
Engineer and it shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor to provide the Engineer with accurate meas-
urements to substantiate depth.
b. When track centers to an active adjacent main line are
less than 13 feet 6 inches the ballast material shall be
removed only to the mid-point in the 6 foot area .
B . All material between tracks to the depth and widths speci-
fied in 3 . 03A of this Section shall be removed, screened,
cleaned and reuseable stone ballast returned to the track as
a continuous on track operation.
C . At no time shall the ballast shoulder of an active adjacent
track be removed beyond the limits described in 3 . 03A so as
to put the safe operation of trains in jeopardy.
D. Track undercutting and ballast screening shall be performed
by undercutter equipment with the track in place . when
clearances at various locations restrict the use of under-
cutter equipment the Contractor may elect to remove the
track by panel or alternate method, followed by excavation
to the specified limits .
E. Should the Contractor elect to undercut/excavate by removing
the track because of restrictive clearances , i . e . station
platforms or. structures , the track may be removed by the
panel method after the joints are squared or by an alternate
method. Track segments removed and excavated must be ap-

proved by the Authority prior to initiating such work . The
Contractor shall use extreme caution when removing, handling
and replacing track panels in order to avoid damage to the
track materials and to avoid dislodging the crossties from
their spiked position. Additional skewing and/or bunching
of crossties is prohibited.
F. Undercutting or excavation of main line tracks shall be per-
formed within the entire project limits including Salem Tun-
nel , Salem Station ( following curb and platform removal
specified in Section 02200 ) , station platforms and approach-
es, under overhead bridges , across ballast deck bridges , and
the aproaches to highway crossings, turnouts and all under-
grade bridges .
G. The track undercutting work shall leave a smooth tie bed on
the subballast at an elevation 12 inches below the proposed
bottom of crosstie so as to maintain substantially the
existing top of rail profile .
Should any rock or ledge be encountered during the undercut-
ting operation, that would prevent the full 12 inch undercut
depth, the Contractor shall be required to remove all exist-
ing material to the top of rock or ledge , and dispose of the
spoils .
H. The Engineer and the Contractor shall monitor and the Con-
tractor shall make repairs as indicated when any of the
following track conditions exist .
1 . Any crosstie disturbed by the undercutting work , to the
extent that, it requires straightening and/or respacing,
shall be properly respaced directly behind the under-
cutting operation. Skewing or bunching of crossties as
a result of track undercutting work is prohibited.
Skewed or bunched crossties existing prior to the under-
cutting work shall be respaced by the Contractor as
required and as directed by the Engineer to permit
effective tamping of all crossties to assure the proper
distribution of load.
2 . Track gauge shall be monitored by the Contractor and the
Engineer directly behind the track undercutting work .
Tight track gauge that is less than 41-8 1/4" is pro-
hibited. Such tight track gauge shall be corrected by
the Contractor before the track is restored to service
unless otherwise approved by the Engineer .
3 . Tie plate and track spike conditions shall be monitored
by the Engineer and the Contractor directly behind the
track undercutting work . The tie plate shoulder and the

track spike shall not be permitted under the rail base
regardless of whether it is a result of undercutting or
is a preexisting condition. These conditions shall be
corrected by the Contractor before the track is restored
to service .
4 . The Contractor shall ensure upon completion of each
daily undercutting operation that all existing " rail
anchors shall be properly seated so as to exert anti-
rail creepage force against the edge of the tieplate or
onto the side of the tie . Rail anchors not meeting this
requirement shall be adjusted into the proper position .
Rail anchors that fall from the rail shall be reapplied
by the Contractor .
I . The Contractor shall respike hanging or fallen existing,
crossties behind the undercut,ter . High track spikes shall
be driven down. If the spikes should be completely pulled
out of the tie the spike holes shall be plugged and the tie
shall be respiked with new or reusable full throated cut
spikes .
J . With the exception of Salem Tunnel and Salem Station out-of-
face crosstie renewals are not contemplated within the pro-
ject limits . However , crossties that may fall during under-
cutting and that are determined by the Engineer to be defec-
tive shall be replaced by the Contractor under and as speci-
fied in Section 02851 .
K. Existing bridge guard rails that prevent proper undercutting
shall be removed and restored at the close of each days work
unless otherwise directed by the Engineer .
L. The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal and res-
toration of railroad inter-track fences , signs and markers
