The Contractor shall cover areas of exposed waste at the end of each day
with approved daily/intermediate cover or natural soils, which may be
obtained from on-site sources.
During the work, the Contractor shall regularly check for odors in the down-
wind direction and employ additional odor neutralizing agent if odors are
detected.
The Contractor shall have a portable misting system available to control
odors during construction activities that involve excavation in waste. The
Contractor shall be responsible for maneuvering the equipment as necessary
based on wind direction or source of odor, and replenishing the equipment
with water and odor control agent. The Owner will provide water for
Contractor’s use. The Contractor shall be responsible for locating the
portable misting system downwind of their operations on a daily basis. The
system shall be moved as the construction location changes.
In lieu of the misting system, odor control may be accomplished by spraying
directly on odorous spoils, into trenches, and at the top of well boreholes.
This method shall be used on odorous spoil piles if the misting system is not
effective. To limit potential implications to worker health and safety,
spraying an odor neutralizing solution directly in the work area shall not
occur while construction activity (ie, header pipe installation, gas well
installation, etc.) is in progress at such locations. In those instances, the
portable misting system shall be positioned downwind of the construction
activity and located only as close to active work areas as possible without
creating a potential hazard for workers working in those areas.
