1. WIND 

See discussion of wind impacts in Section 5.1.2 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures 

include: 

W 1 – The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (Agency) shall consider potential wind effects 

of an individual project for the Redevelopment area. If necessary, perform wind tunnel testing in 

accordance with City Planning Code Section 148. If exceedences of the wind hazard criterion 

should occur for any individual project, require design modifications or other mitigation 

measures to mitigate or eliminate these exceedences. Tailor mitigation measures to the 

individual needs of each project. Examples of mitigation measures include articulation of 

building sides and softening of sharp building edges. 

 

2. PROPERTY ACQUISITION/RELOCATION 

See discussion of property acquisition impacts, Section 5.2 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation 

measures include: 

Prop 1 – TJPA shall apply federal Uniform Relocation Act (Public Law 91-646) and California 

Relocation Act (Chapter 16, Section 7260 et seq. of the Government Code) and related laws and 

regulations governing both land acquisition and relocation. All real property to be acquired will 

be appraised to determine its fair market value before an offer is made to each property owner. 

(Minimum relocation payments are detailed in the laws, and include moving and search 

payments for businesses.) Provide information, assistance, and payments to all displaced 

businesses in accordance with these laws and regulations. 

3. SAFETY AND EMERGENCY SERVICES 

See discussion of safety and emergency services, Section 5.4 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation 

measures include: 

Saf 1 – TJPA shall provide Project plans to the San Francisco Fire Department for its review to 

ensure that adequate life safety measures and emergency access are incorporated into the design 

and construction of Project facilities. 

Saf 2 – TJPA shall prepare a life safety plan including the provision of on-site measures such as 

a fire command post at the Terminal, the Fire Department’s 800-megahertz radio system and all 

necessary fire suppression equipment. 

Saf 3 – TJPA shall prepare a risk analysis to accurately determine the number of personnel 

necessary to maintain an acceptable level of service at Project facilities. 

4. NOISE – OPERATIONS 

See discussion of noise impacts, Section 5.8 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures include: 
Page 2 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

NoiO 1 – TJPA shall apply noise mitigation at the following locations adjacent to the bus storage 

facility: 

• Provide sound insulation to mitigate noise impacts at the residences north of the AC 

Transit Facility at the corner of Perry and Third Street. At a minimum, apply sound 

insulation to the façade facing the bus storage facility (the south façade). 

• Construct two noise barriers to mitigate noise impacts to Residences south of the AC 

Transit Facility along Stillman Street. The first noise barrier would be approximately 10-

12 feet high and run along the southern edge of the AC Transit storage facility. The 

second noise barrier would be approximately 5-6 feet high and would be located on the 

portion of the ramp at the southwestern corner of the AC Transit facility. Treat the noise 

barriers with an absorptive material on the side facing the facility to minimize the 

potential for reflections off the underside of the freeway. 

• Construct a noise barrier to mitigate noise impacts to residences south of the Golden Gate 

Transit Facility along Stillman Street. The barrier would be approximately 10-12 feet 

high and run along the southern and a portion of the eastern edge of the Golden Gate 

Transit storage facility. Treat the noise barriers with an absorptive material on the side 

facing the facility to minimize the potential for reflections off the underside of the 

freeway. 

NoiO 2 – TJPA shall landscape the noise walls. Develop the actual design of the walls in 

cooperation with area residents. 

NoiO 3 – TJPA shall construct noise walls prior to the development of the permanent bus 

facilities. 

5. NOISE – CONSTRUCTION 

See discussion of construction noise impacts, Section 5.21.10 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation 

measures include: 

NoiC 1 – TJPA shall comply with San Francisco noise ordinance. The noise ordinance includes 

specific limits on noise from construction. The basic requirements are: 

• Maximum noise level from any piece of powered construction equipment is limited to 80 

dBA at 100 ft. This translates to 86 dBA at 50 feet. 

• Impact tools are exempted, although such equipment must be equipped with effective 

mufflers and shields. The noise control equipment on impact tools must be as 

recommended by the manufacturer and approved by the Director of Public Works. 

• Construction activity is prohibited between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. if it causes noise that 

exceeds the ambient noise plus 5 dBA. 

The noise ordinance is enforced by the San Francisco DPW, which may waive some of the noise 

requirements to expedite the Project or minimize traffic impacts. For example, along Townsend 

Street where much of the land use is commercial, business owners may prefer nighttime 
Page 3 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

construction since it would reduce disruption during normal business hours. The DPW waivers 

usually allow most construction processes to continue until 2 a.m., although construction 

processes that involve impacts are rarely allowed to extend beyond 10 p.m. This category would 

include equipment used in demolition such as jackhammers and hoe rams, and pile driving. It is 

not anticipated that the construction documents would have specific limits on nighttime 

construction. There may be times when nighttime construction is desirable (e.g., in commercial 

districts where nighttime construction would be less disruptive to businesses in the area) or 

necessary to avoid unacceptable traffic disruptions. Since the construction would be subject to 

the requirements of the San Francisco noise regulations, in these cases, the contractor would 

need to work with the DPW to come up with an acceptable approach balancing interruption of 

the business and residential community, traffic disruptions, and reducing the total duration of the 

construction. 

NoiC 2 – TJPA shall conduct noise monitoring. The purpose of monitoring is to ensure that 

contractors take all reasonable steps to minimize noise. 

NoiC 3 – TJPA shall conduct inspections and noise testing of equipment. This measure will 

ensure that all equipment on the site is in good condition and effectively muffled. 

NoiC 4 – TJPA shall implement an active community liaison program. This program would 

keep residents informed about construction plans so they can plan around periods of particularly 

high noise levels and would provide a conduit for residents to express any concerns or 

complaints about noise. 

NoiC 5 – TJPA shall minimize use of vehicle backup alarms. Because backup alarms are 

designed to get people's attention, the sound can be very noticeable even when their sound level 

does not exceed the ambient, and it is common for backup alarms at construction sites to be 

major sources of noise complaints. A common approach to minimizing the use of backup alarms 

is to design the construction site with a circular flow pattern that minimizes backing up of trucks 

and other heavy equipment. Another approach to reducing the intrusion of backup alarms is to 

require all equipment on the site to be equipped with ambient sensitive alarms. With this type of 

alarm, the alarm sound is automatically adjusted based on the ambient noise. In nighttime hours 

when ambient noise is low, the backup alarm is adjusted down. 

NoiC 6 – TJPA shall include noise control requirements in construction specifications. These 

should require the contractor to: 

• Perform all construction in a manner to minimize noise. The contractor should be 

required to select construction processes and techniques that create the lowest noise 

levels. Examples are using predrilled piles instead of impact pile driving, mixing concrete 

offsite instead of onsite, and using hydraulic tools instead of pneumatic impact tools. 

• Use equipment with effective mufflers. Diesel motors are often the major noise source on 

construction sites. Contractors should be required to employ equipment fitted with the 

most effective commercially available mufflers. 
Page 4 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

• Perform construction in a manner to maintain noise levels at noise sensitive land uses 

below specific limits. 

• Perform noise monitoring to demonstrate compliance with the noise limits. Independent 

noise monitoring should be performed to check compliance in particularly sensitive areas. 

• Minimize construction activities during evening, nighttime, weekend and holiday periods. 

Permits would be required before construction can be performed in noise sensitive areas 

during these periods. 

• Select haul routes that minimize intrusion to residential areas. This is particularly 

important for the trench alternatives that will require hauling large quantities of 

excavation material to disposal sites. 

Controlling noise in contractor work areas during nighttime hours is likely to require some 

mixture of the following approaches: 

• Restrictions on noise producing activities during nighttime hours. 

• Laying out the site to keep noise producing activities as far as possible from residences, 

to minimize the use of backup alarms, and to minimize truck activity and truck queuing 

near the residential areas. 

• Use of procedures and equipment that produce lower noise levels than normal. For 

example, some manufacturers of construction equipment can supply special noise control 

kits with highly effective mufflers and other materials that substantially reduce noise 

emissions of equipment such as generators, tunnel ventilation equipment, and heavy 

diesel power equipment including mobile cranes and front-end loaders. 

• Use of temporary barriers near noisy activities. By locating the barriers close enough to 

the noise source, it is possible to obtain substantial noise attenuation with barriers 10 to 

12 feet high even though the residences are 30 to 40 feet higher than the construction site. 

• Use of partial enclosures around noisy activities. It is sometimes necessary to construct 

shed-like structures or complete buildings to contain the noise from nighttime activities. 

6. VIBRATION – OPERATIONS 

See discussion of vibration impacts, Section 5.8.8 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures 

include: 

VibO 1 – TJPA shall use high-resilience track fasteners or a resiliently supported tie system for 

the Caltrain Downtown Extension for areas projected to exceed vibration criteria, including the 

following locations: (1) Live/Work Condos, 388 Townsend Street (Hubbell and Seventh), (2) 

San Francisco Residences on Bryant (Harrison Parking Lot Site), (3) Clock Tower Building, and 

Second Street High Rise and (4) new Marriott Courtyard (Marine Firefighter's Union).1

 

1

 After mitigation, groundborne noise impact at 388 Townsend Street and vibration impact at the Clocktower 

Building would still exceed the FTA impact threshold by one decibel. This level of impact would not constitute a 

substantial adverse change requiring further mitigation, in terms of FTA guidance. The next level of vibration 

buffering that would be effective would be to install floating slab under the Caltrain alignment trackage for 600 to 
Page 5 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

7. VIBRATION – CONSTRUCTION 

See discussion of construction vibration impacts, Section 5.21.10 of the Final EIS/EIR. 

Mitigation measures include: 

VibC 1 – TJPA shall limit or prohibit use of construction techniques that create high vibration 

levels. At a minimum, processes such as pile driving would be prohibited at distances less than 

250 feet from residences. 

VibC 2 – TJPA shall restrict procedures that contractors can use in vibration sensitive areas. (It 

is often possible to employ alternative techniques that create lower vibration levels. For 

example, unrestricted pile driving is one activity that has considerable potential for causing 

annoying vibration. Using the cast-in-drilled-hole piling method instead will eliminate most 

potential for vibration impact from the piling.) 

VibC 3 – TJPA shall require vibration monitoring during vibration intensive activities. 

VibC 4 – TJPA shall restrict the hours of vibration intensive activities such as pile driving to 

weekdays during daytime hours. 

VibC 5 – TJPA shall investigate alternative construction methods and practices to reduce the 

impacts in coordination with the construction contractor if resident annoyance from vibration 

becomes a problem. 

VibC 6 – TJPA shall include specific limits, practices and monitoring and reporting procedures 

for the use of controlled detonation. Control and monitor use of controlled detonation to avoid 

damage to existing structures. Include specific limits, practices, and monitoring and reporting 

procedures within contract documents to ensure that such construction methods, if used, would 

not exceed safety criteria. 

8. SOILS/GEOLOGY 

See discussion of geologic impacts in Section 5.9 and construction impacts and approaches in 

Sections 5.20 and 5.21.17 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures include: 

SG 1 – TJPA shall monitor adjacent buildings for movement and, if movement is detected, take 

immediate action to control the movement. 

SG 2 – TJPA shall apply geotechnical and structural engineering principles and conventional 

construction techniques similar to the design and construction of high-rise buildings and tunnels 

 

800 feet on either side of each building (at a construction cost of $1,000 per linear foot), which would add installed

costs approaching one million dollars or even more per building. Such high costs would not be a prudent and 

reasonable expenditure to eliminate the last one decibel of impact at these two sites. Per FTA guidelines, “to be 

feasible, the measure, or combination of measures, must be capable of providing a significant reduction of the 

vibration levels, at least 5 dB, while being reasonable from the standpoint of the added cost.”
Page 6 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

throughout the downtown area. Apply design measures and utilize pile-supported foundations to 

mitigate potential settlement of the surface and underground stations. 

SG 3 – TJPA shall design and construct structural components of the Project to resist strong 

ground motions approximating the maximum anticipated earthquake (0.5g). The cut-and-cover 

portions will require pile supports to minimize non-seismic settlement in soft compressible 

sediments (Bay Mud). The underground Caltrain station at Fourth and Townsend will require 

pile-supported foundations due to the presence of underlying soft sediments. 

SG 4 – TJPA shall underpin existing building, where deemed necessary, to protect existing 

structures from potential damage that could result from excessive ground movements during 

construction. Design the tunneling and excavation procedures (and construction sequence), and 

design of the temporary support system with the objective of controlling ground deformations 

within small enough levels to avoid damage to adjacent structures. Where the risk of damage to 

adjacent structures is too great, special measures will be implemented such as: (1) underpinning, 

(2) ground improvement, and/or (3) strengthening of existing structures to mitigate the risks. 

As part of the initial studies performed in 1996, preliminary plans were developed to 

protect/strengthen existing structures to mitigate the risk of adverse impacts of tunneling on 

existing structures. Underpinning, if it is deemed necessary, is one of the options for mitigating 

adverse effects of tunneling on the existing buildings. Underpinning involves modification of 

the foundations of the building so that the superstructure loads can be transferred beyond the 

zone of influence of tunneling. Underpinning may include internal strengthening of the 

superstructure, bracing, reinforcing the existing foundations, or replacing existing foundations 

with deep foundations embedded outside the tunnel zone of influence. Alternatives, in lieu of 

underpinning, involve strengthening the rock between the building and the crown of the tunnel. 

Grouting in combination with inclined pin piles can be used not only to strengthen the rock but 

make the rock mass over the tunnel act as a rigid beam, allowing construction of tunnels with no 

adverse effects on the buildings supported on shallow foundations over the tunnel. 

Preliminary plans for underpinning have been developed that allow cost estimates to be made for 

underpinning. During the detailed design phase of the Project, underpinning plans will be 

developed specific to each of the buildings that may require it. It is not necessary at this stage of 

the Project to develop detailed underpinning plans. 

These issues will be addressed on a case by case basis, along the alignment, during the detailed 

design phase of the Project. The methodology that is proposed for the Caltrain Downtown 

Extension, i.e., to design the support system to control ground deformations within tolerances 

and selectivity strengthen structures that may be too weak to resist even small deformations, was 

successfully used for the Muni Metro Turnback project, and are deemed to be effective for the 

Caltrain Downtown Extension Project as well. 

SG 5 – TJPA shall assure proper design and construction of pile-supported foundations for 

structures to control potential settlement of the surface. Stability of excavations and resultant 

impacts on adjacent structures can be controlled within tolerable limits by proper design and 

implementation of the excavation shoring systems. 
Page 7 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

9. UTILITIES 

See discussion of utility impacts, Sections 5.12 and 5.21.12 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation 

measures include: 

Util 1 – TJPA shall coordinate with utility providers during preliminary engineering, continuing 

through final design and construction. Utilities would be avoided, relocated, and/or supported as 

necessary during construction activities to prevent damage to utility systems and to minimize 

disruption and degradation of utility service to local customers. 

10. CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES 

See discussion of cultural and historic resources impacts, Section 5.14 of the Final EIS/EIR. 

Mitigation measures include: 

CH 1 –Comply with the provision of the signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between 

the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and 

the TJPA2

. 

CH 2 – Professional Qualifications. Assure all activities regarding history, historic 

preservation, historic architecture, architectural history, historic and prehistoric archaeology are 

carried out by or under the direct supervision of persons meeting, at a minimum, the Secretary of 

the Interior's professional qualifications standards (48 FR 44738-9) (PQS) in these disciplines. 

Nothing in this stipulation may be interpreted to preclude any signatory or any agent or 

contractor thereof from using the properly supervised services or persons who do not meet the 

PQS. 

Historic Preservation Standards. Assure all activities regarding history, historic preservation, 

historic architecture, architectural history, historic and prehistoric archaeology are carried out to 

reasonably conform to the Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and 

Historic Preservation (48 FR 44716-44740) as well as to applicable standards and guidelines 

established by SHPO. 

Curation and Curation Standards. Ensure that FTA and TJPA shall, to the extent permitted 

under sections 5097.98 and 5097.991.[sic] of the California Public Resources Code, materials 

and records resulting from any archaeological treatment or data recovery that may be carried out 

pursuant to this MOA, are curated in accordance with 36 CFR Part 79.

CH 3 – Integrate into the design of the new terminal a dedicated space for a permanent 

interpretive exhibit. The interpretive exhibit will include at a minimum, but is not necessarily 

limited to: plaques or markers, a mural or other depiction of the historic Transbay Transit 

Terminal (TTT), ramps, or Key System, or other interpretive material. 

CH 4 – Consult with the State Department of Transportation (Department) regarding the 

availability of historical documentary materials for the creation of the permanent interpretive 

 

2

 A copy of the Memorandum of Agreement is included as Appendix G of the Final EIS/EIR. 
Page 8 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

display of the history of the original TTT building and its association with the San FranciscoOakland Bay Bridge. Department will assist TJPA in planning the scope and content of the 

proposed interpretive exhibit. Invite the Oakland Heritage Alliance, the San Francisco 

Architectural Heritage, the California State Railroad Museum, and the Western Railway 

Museum to participate in this consultation. While retaining responsibility for the development of 

the exhibit, TJPA will jointly consider the Department’s and participating invitees’ 

recommendations when finalizing the exhibit design. TJPA will produce, install, and maintain 

the exhibit. 

CH 5 – Consult with the City of Oakland about its possible interest in having a similar 

interpretive exhibit in the East Bay. If agreement is reached prior to completion of final design 

of the Transbay Terminal, TJPA will provide and deliver exhibit materials to a venue that is 

mutually satisfactory to TJPA and the City of Oakland. 

CH 6 – Identify, in consultation with Department, elements of the existing TTT that may be 

suitable for salvage and interpretive use by museums. Within two years following execution of 

this MOA by FTA and SHPO, TJPA will offer any elements identified as suitable for salvage 

and interpretive use to San Francisco Architectural Heritage, the California State Railroad 

Museum, Sacramento, the Western Railway Museum, the Oakland Museum, and any other 

interested parties. Remove any elements selected in a manner that minimizes damage and 

deliver with legal title to the recipient. Items not accepted by interested parties for salvage or 

interpretive use within the time frame specified herein will receive no further consideration. 

CH 7 – Oakland Museum of California Exhibit – Consult with Department and the Oakland 

Museum about contributing to Department’s exhibit and the production of an interpretive video 

at the Oakland Museum relating to the history and engineering of the major historic state bridges 

of the San Francisco Bay Area. TJPA will propose contributions to such an exhibit and video 

that would be related to the history of the TTT, bus ramp loop structures, and the Key System. 

Items contributed by TJPA to such an exhibit may include photographs, drawings, videotape, 

models, oral histories, and salvaged components from the TTT. 

CH 08 – Assist the Oakland Museum by contributing up to $50,000 toward the cost of preparing 

and presenting the exhibit and preparing an exhibit catalog or related museum publication in 

conjunction with the exhibit, in a manner and to the extent that is mutually satisfactory to TJPA, 

Department, and the Oakland Museum. A separate agreement will outline the negotiated 

financial contributions. 

Work with the Oakland Museum and assist in the preparation of an exhibit and interpretive video 

if consultation results in agreement between TJPA and the Oakland Museum prior to demolition 

of the existing TTT. 

CH 9 – Request that SHPO, prior to the start of any work that would have an adverse effect on 

components of the Bay Bridge that are historic properties, determine whether these components, 

including the TTT and associated ramps, have been adequately recorded in existing documents. 

If SHPO determines that, collectively, such documents, which include the Department’s past 

recordation of a series of remodeling and seismic retrofit project that have occurred since 1993, 

adequately document the TTT and ramps, then no further documentation will be necessary. 
Page 9 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

Seek, with the assistance of the Department, to obtain the original drawings of the TTT by 

architect T. Pflueger. 

If SHPO determines that existing documentation is adequate, compile such documentation into a 

comprehensive record. Components to be included in the review of past documentation are: 

• 425 Mission Transbay Transit Terminal (APN 3719-003, 3720-001, 3721-006); 

• Upper Deck San Francisco Approaches or North Connector, Bridge #34-116F; 

• Upper Deck San Francisco Approaches or Center Ramps, Bridge #34-118L; 

• San Francisco Approaches or Lower Deck On-Ramp, Bridge #34-118R; 

• Transbay Terminal Loop ramp, Bridge #34-119Y; and 

• Harrison Street over-crossing Bridge #34-120Y. 

Consult further with SHPO, if SHPO determines that existing documentation does not constitute 

adequate recordation of the Bay Bridge components addressed hereunder. SHPO will determine 

what level and type of additional documentation is necessary. 

Provide xerographic copies of this documentation to the SHPO and the Department Headquarters 

Library, upon a written determination by SHPO that all documentation prescribed hereunder is 

satisfactory, to the History Center at the San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco 

Architectural Heritage, the Oakland History Room of the Oakland Public Library, the Oakland 

Museum of California, the Western Railway Museum, and Department District 4 Office. 

Thereafter, TJPA may proceed with that aspect of the Project that will adversely affect the 

historic properties documented hereunder. 

CH 10 – Within 180 days after FTA determines that the Project has been completed, TJPA, in 

consultation with FTA and SHPO, will re-revaluate the Bay Bridge, a property listed on the 

NRHP, and determine whether the National Register nomination should be amended or whether 

the bridge no longer qualifies for listing and should be removed from the National Register. As 

appropriate, TJPA will prepare and submit to the FTA and SHPO either an amended nomination 

or petition for removal, to be processed according to the procedures set forth in 36 CFR Part 60 

(60.14 and 60.15). 

CH 11 – Develop and implement measures, in consultation with the owners of historic properties 

immediately adjoining the construction sites, to protect the contributing elements of the Second 

and Howard Streets Historic District and the Rincon Point/South Beach Historic Warehouse 

Industrial District from damage by any aspect of the Project. Such measures will include, but are 

not necessarily limited to those identified in the MOA. 

The protective measures herein stipulated will be developed and implemented by TJPA prior to 

the commencement of any aspect of the Project that could have an adverse effect on historic 

properties immediately adjoining the construction sites herein identified. In addition, TJPA will 

monitor the effectiveness of the protective measures herein stipulated and will supplement or 

modify these measures as and where necessary in order to ensure that they are effective. The 

historic properties covered by the terms of this paragraph are shown in the following table.

CH 12 – TJPA will take the effect of the Project on the three historic properties listed below into 

account by recording these properties in accordance with the terms herein set forth. These 

buildings are: 

• 191 2nd Street, (APN: 3721-022), and 

• 580-586 Howard Street, (APN: 3721-092 through 3721-106), and 

• 165-173 2nd Street, (APN: 3721-025). 

Prior to taking any action that could adversely affect these properties, consult SHPO and SHPO 

will determine the type and level of recordation that is necessary for these properties. Upon a 

written determination by SHPO that all documentation prescribed hereunder is complete and 

satisfactory, submit a copy of this documentation to SHPO, with xerographic copies to the 

History Center at the San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco Architectural Heritage, and 

the Oakland History Room of the Oakland Public Library. Thereafter, proceed with that aspect of 

the Project that will adversely affect the historic properties documented hereunder. 

If SHPO does not respond within 45 days of receipt of each submittal of documentation 

prescribed herein, assume that SHPO has determined that said documentation is adequate and 

may proceed with that aspect of the Project that will adversely affect the historic properties 

documented hereunder. 

CH 13 – Repair, in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, 

any damage to contributing elements of the Second and Howard Streets Historic District and the 

Rincon Point/South Beach Historic Warehouse Industrial District resulting from the Project. 

Photograph the condition of the contributing elements prior to the start of the Project to establish 

the baseline condition for assessing damage. Consult with property owner(s) about the 

appropriate level of photographic documentation of building interiors and exteriors. Provide a 

copy of this photographic documentation to the property owner(s), and retain on file. 

Submit repair plans and specifications to SHPO for review and comment, if repair of inadvertent 

damage resulting from the Project is necessary, to ensure that the work conforms to the Secretary 

of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Consult with SHPO to establish a mutually 

satisfactory time frame for the SHPO’s review. TJPA will carry out any repairs required 

hereunder in accordance with the comments of SHPO. 

CH 14 – Within 180 days after FTA determines that the Project has been completed, TJPA, in 

consultation with FTA and SHPO, will re-revaluate the Second and Howard Streets Historic 

District and determine whether the National Register nomination should be amended or whether 

the district no longer qualifies for listing and should be removed from the National Register. As 

appropriate, TJPA will prepare and submit to the FTA and SHPO either an amended nomination 

or petition for removal, to be processed according to the procedures set forth in 36 CFR Part 60 

(60.14 and 60.15). 

CH 15 – Within 45 days following execution of MOA, consult with FTA, SHPO, JPB and CCSF 

to initiate the process of determining how archaeological properties that may be affected by the 

Project will be identified, whether and how the NRHP eligibility of such properties may be 

addressed, and whether and how the Project's effects, if any, on those archaeological properties 
Page 12 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

that may be considered historic properties for purposes of this MOA, may be taken into account. 

FTA and TJPA to invite Caltrans to participate in this consultation. Determine the time frame for 

this consultation with the consulting parties through consensus. 

Consultation will at minimum be informed by, and take into account, the following documents: 

Attachment 6, "Standard Treatment of Archaeological Sites: Data Recovery Plan," of the 

"Programmatic Agreement among the Federal Highway Administration, the Advisory Council 

on Historic Preservation, the California State Historic Preservation Office, and the California 

Department of Transportation regarding compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, as it pertains to the Administration of the Federal Aid Highway Program in 

California;” “Archaeological Research Design and Treatment Plan for SF-480 Terminal

permitted by applicable law and regulation, the views of any consulting Native American Tribe 

and the Most Likely Descendant(s) are taken into consideration when decisions are made about 

the disposition of other Native American archaeological materials and records. 

11. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/WASTE - OPERATIONS 

See discussion of hazardous material and waste impacts, Section 5.15 of the Final EIS/EIR. 

Mitigation measures include: 

HWO 1 – The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB) – the agency responsible for 

operating Caltrain – shall construct and operate any fueling facility in compliance with local, 

state and Federal regulations regarding handling and storage of hazardous materials. 
Page 15 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

HWO 2 – JPB shall equip diesel fuel pumps with emergency shut-off valves and, in compliance 

with U.S. EPA requirements, fuel Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) would be equipped with 

leak detection and monitoring systems. 

HWO 3 – JPB shall employ the use of secondary containment systems for any aboveground 

storage tanks. 

HWO 4 – JPB shall store cleaning solvents in 55-gallon drums, or other appropriate containers, 

within a bermed area to provide secondary containment. 

HWO 5 – JPB shall slope paved surfaces within the fueling facility and the solvent storage area 

to a sump where any spilled liquids could be recovered for proper disposal. 

HWO 6 – JPB shall follow California OSHA and local standards for fire protection and 

prevention for the handling and storage of fuels and solvents. 

HWO 7 – JPB shall prepare a Hazardous Materials Management/ Business Plan and file with the 

San Francisco Department of Public Health. 

12. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/WASTE – CONSTRUCTION 

See discussion of hazardous material and waste impacts during construction, Section 5.21.15 of 

the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures include: 

HMC 1 – TJPA shall follow California OSHA and local standards for fire protection and 

prevention. Handling and storage of fuels and other flammable materials during construction 
Page 16 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

will conform to these requirements, which include appropriate storage of flammable liquids and 

prohibition of open flames within 50 feet of flammable storage areas. 

HMC 2 – TJPA shall perform detailed investigations of the potential presence of contaminants 

in soil and groundwater prior to construction, using conventional drilling, sampling, and 

chemical testing methods. Based on the chemical test results, a mitigation plan will be 

developed to establish guidelines for the disposal of contaminated soil and discharge of 

contaminated dewatering effluent, and to generate data to address potential human health and 

safety issues that may arise as a result of contact with contaminated soil or groundwater during 

construction. The investigation and mitigation plan will follow the requirements of the City and 

County of San Francisco’s Article 22A in the appropriate areas along the alignment. 

With construction projects of this nature and magnitude, there are typically two different 

management strategies that can be employed to address contaminated soil handling and disposal 

issues. Contaminated soil can be excavated and stockpiled at a centralized location and 

subsequently sampled and analyzed for disposal profiling purposes in accordance with the 

requirements of the candidate disposal landfill. Alternatively, soil profiling for disposal purposes 

can be done in-situ so when soil is excavated it is loaded directly on to trucks and hauled to the 

appropriate landfill facility for disposal based on the in-situ profiling results. A project of this 

nature could also combine both strategies. 

HMC 3 – TJPA shall cover with plastic sheeting soils removed during excavation and grading 

activities that remain at a centralized location for an extended period of time to prevent the 

generation of fugitive dust emissions that migrate offsite. 

HMC 4 – TJPA shall use a licensed waste hauler, applying appropriate manifests or bill of 

lading procedures, as required to haul soil for disposal at a landfill or recycling facility. 

HMC 5 – TJPA shall use chemical test results for groundwater samples along the alignment to 

obtain a Batch Discharge Permit under Article 4.1 of the San Francisco Department of Public 

Works as well as to evaluate requirements for pretreatment prior to discharge to the sanitary 

sewer. Effluent produced during the dewatering of excavations will be collected in onsite storage 

tanks and periodically tested, as required under discharge permit requirements, for potential 

contamination to confirm the need for any treatment prior to discharge. If required, treatment 

may include: 

• Settling to allow particulate matter (total suspended solids) to settle out of the effluent in 

order to reduce the sediment load as well as reduce elevated metal and other contaminant 

concentrations that may be associated with suspended sediments; and/or 

• Construction of a small-scale batch waste water treatment system to remove dissolved 

contaminants (mainly organic constituents such as petroleum hydrocarbons (gas, diesel, 

and oils), BTEX, and VOCs) from the dewatering effluent prior to discharge to the 

sanitary sewer. A treatment system would also likely employ the use of filtration to 

remove suspended solids. 
Page 17 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

HMC 6 – TJPA shall develop a detailed mitigation plan for the handling of potentially 

contaminated soil and groundwater prior to starting Project construction. 

HMC 7 – TJPA shall design dewatering systems to minimize downward migration of 

contaminants that can result from lowering the water table if necessary based on environmental 

conditions. As necessary, shallow soils with detected contamination would be dewatered first 

using wells screened only in those soils. Dewatering of deeper soils would then be performed 

using wells screened only in the zone to be dewatered. Dewatering wells would be installed 

using drilling methods that prohibit shallow contaminated soils from being carried deeper into 

the boreholes. 

HMC 8 – TJPA shall require that workers performing activities on site that may involve contact 

with contaminated soil or groundwater have appropriate health and safety training in accordance 

with 29 CFR 1910.120. 

A Worker Health and Safety Plan (HSP) will be developed for the Project and monitored for the 

implementation of the plan on a day-to-day basis by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). The 

HSP will include provisions for: 

• Conducting preliminary site investigations and analysis of potential job hazards; 

• Personnel protective equipment; 

• Safe work practices; 

• Site control; 

• Exposure monitoring; 

• Decontamination procedures; and 

• Emergency response actions. 

The HSP will specify mitigation of potential worker and public exposure to airborne contaminant 

migration by incorporating dust suppression techniques in construction procedures. The plan 

will also specify mitigation of worker and environmental exposure to contaminant migration via 

surface water runoff pathways by implementation of comprehensive measures to control 

drainage from excavations and saturated materials excavated during construction. 

HMC 9 – TJPA shall review existing asbestos surveys, abatement reports, and supplemental 

asbestos surveys, as warranted. Perform an asbestos survey for buildings to be demolished, as 

required. Asbestos-containing building materials (ACM) will require abatement prior to building 

demolition. Removal and disposal of ACM will be performed in accordance with applicable 

local, state, and federal regulations. 

HMC 10 – TJPA shall perform a lead-based paint survey for buildings to be demolished to 

determine areas where lead-based paint is present and the possible need for abatement prior to 

demolition.
Page 18 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

13. PEDESTRIANS 

See discussion of pedestrian impacts, Section 5.19.6.1 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation 

measures include: 

Ped 1 – Agency and City shall use future construction or redevelopment as opportunities to 

increase building set-backs thereby increasing sidewalk widths. Particular areas where such 

widening is most needed include: 

• Southeast corner Fremont/Mission Street; 

• Northeast corner First/Mission Street; 

• North side of Mission Street between First and Fremont; and 

• Sidewalks south of Howard Street along Folsom, First, Fremont, and Beale that are less 

than 10 feet wide. 

Ped 2 – Agency and City shall eliminate or reduce sidewalk street furniture such as newspaper 

boxes and magazine racks in the immediate Transbay Terminal area on corners. 

Ped 3 – City shall retime traffic light signalization. This could improve pedestrian levels of 

service at each of the intersections studies that fall into LOS F. 

Ped 4 – City shall provide crosswalk signalization at intersections where they do not exist 

already, such as Folsom and Beale streets. 

Ped 5 – City shall provide cross-walk count-down signals at intersections and cross-walks 

immediately surrounding the new Transbay Terminal. 

Ped 6 –TJPA shall ensure that Transbay Terminal design increases corner and sidewalk widths at 

the four intersections immediately surrounding the Transbay Terminal. 

Ped 7 – TJPA shall provide lights within crosswalks to warn when pedestrians are present in the 

crosswalk, such as at the cross-walk associated with the mid-block bus loading area. 

14. PRE-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES 

See discussion of construction impacts, Section 5.20.1 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures 

include: 

PC 1 – TJPA shall complete a pre-construction building structural survey to determine the 

integrity of existing buildings adjacent to and over the proposed Caltrain Downtown Extension. 

Use this survey to finalize detailed construction techniques along the alignment and as the 

baseline for monitoring construction impacts during and following construction. 

PC 2 – TJPA shall contact and interview individual businesses along the Caltrain Extension 

alignment to gather information and develop an understanding of how these businesses carry out 
Page 19 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

their work. This survey will identify business usage, delivery/shipping patterns, and critical times 

of the day or year for business activities. Use this information to assist in: (a) the identification 

of possible techniques during construction to maintain critical business activities, 

(b) analyze alternative access routes for customers and deliveries to businesses, (c) develop 

traffic control and detour plans, and (d) finalize construction practices. 

PC 3 – TJPA shall complete detailed geotechnical investigation, including additional sampling 

(drilling and core samples) and analyses of subsurface soil/rock conditions. Use this information 

to design the excavation and its support system to be used in the retained cut, cut-and-cover, and 

tunnel portions of the Caltrain Downtown Extension. 

PC 4 – TJPA shall establish community construction information/outreach program to provide 

on-going dialogue among the TJPA and the affected community regarding construction impacts 

and possible mitigation/solutions. Include dedicated personnel for an outreach office in the 

construction area to deal with construction coordination. 

PC 5 – TJPA shall establish site and field offices located along the Caltrain Downtown 

Extension alignment. Field office staff, in conjunction with other staff, will: 

• Provide the community and businesses with a physical location where information 

pertaining to construction can be exchanged, 

• Enable TJPA and JPB to better understand community/business needs during the 

construction period, 

• Allow TJPA and JPB to participate in local events in an effort to promote public 

awareness of the Project, 

• Manage construction-related matters pertaining to the public, 

• Notify property owners, residences, and businesses of major construction activities (e.g., 

utility relocation/disruption and milestones, re-routing of delivery trucks), 

• Provide literature to the public and press, 

• Promote and provide presentations on the Project via a Speakers Bureau, 

• Respond to phone inquires, 

• Coordinate business outreach programs, 

• Schedule promotional displays, and 

• Participate in community committees. 

PC 6 – TJPA shall implement an information phone line to provide community members and 

businesses the opportunity to express their views regarding construction. Review calls received 

and, as appropriate, forward the message to the necessary party for action (e.g., utility company, 

fire department, the Resident Engineer in charge of construction operations). Information 

available from the telephone line will include current Project schedule, dates for upcoming 

community meetings, notice of construction impacts, individual problem solving, construction
Page 20 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

complaints and general information. Phone service would be provided in English, Cantonese, 

and Spanish and would be operated on a 24-hour basis. 

PC 7 – TJPA shall develop traffic management plans. Traffic management plans to maintain 

access to all businesses will be prepared for areas affected by surface or cut-and-cover 

construction. In addition, daily cleaning of work areas would be performed by contractors for the 

duration of the construction period. Provisions would be contained in construction contracts to 

require the maintenance of driveway access to businesses to the extent feasible. 

15. GENERAL CONSTRUCTION MEASURES 

See discussion of construction staging and methods and construction impacts, Sections 5.20 and 

5.21 of the Final EIS/EIR. Mitigation measures include: 

GC 1 – TJPA shall disseminate information to community in a timely manner regarding 

anticipated construction activities. 

GC 2 – TJPA shall provide signage. Work with establishments affected by construction activities 

to develop appropriate signage for display that directs both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to 

businesses via alternate routes. 

GC 3 – TJPA shall install level deck. Install decking at the cut-and-cover sections to be flush 

with the existing street or sidewalk levels. 

GC 4 – TJPA shall provide for efficient sidewalk design and maintenance. Wherever feasible, 

maintain sidewalks at the existing width during construction. Where a sidewalk must be 

temporarily narrowed during construction (e.g., deck installation), restore it to its original width 

during the majority of construction period. (In some places this may require placing the 

temporary sidewalk on the deck.) Each sidewalk design should be of good quality and approved 

by the Resident Engineer prior to construction. Handicapped access will be maintained during 

construction where feasible. 

GC 5 – TJPA shall provide construction site fencing of good quality, capable of supporting the 

accidental application of the weight of an adult without collapse or major deformation. Where 

covered walkways or other solid surface fencing is installed, establish a program to allow for art 

work (e.g., by local students) on the surface(s). 

16. AIR EMISSIONS – CONSTRUCTION 

See discussion of air emission impacts from construction, Section 5.21.9 of the Final EIS/EIR. 

The following mitigation measures are derived from the "basic control measures" and the 

"enhanced control measures" recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District 

(BAAQMD). Mitigation measures include: 

AC 1 – TJPA shall assure that, as part of the contract provisions, the Project contractor is 

required to implement the measures below at all Project construction sites. 
Page 21 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

AC 2 – TJPA shall water all active construction areas at least twice daily. Ordinance 175-91, 

passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1991, requires that non-potable 

water be used for dust control activities; therefore, the Project contractor would be required to 

obtain reclaimed water from the City's Clean Water Program or other appropriate sources. 

AC 3 – TJPA shall cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all 

trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard. 

AC 4 – TJPA shall pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all 

unpaved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites. 

AC 5 – TJPA shall sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and 

staging areas at construction sites. 

AC 6 – TJPA shall sweep streets daily (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried 

onto adjacent public streets. 

AC 7 – TJPA shall install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to 

public roadways. 

AC 8 – TJPA shall replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible. 

AC 9 – TJPA shall minimize use of on-site diesel construction equipment, particularly 

unnecessary idling. 

AC 10 – TJPA shall shut off construction equipment to reduce idling when not in direct use. 

AC 11 – TJPA shall, where feasible, replace diesel equipment with electrically powered 

machinery. 

AC 12 – TJPA shall locate diesel engines, motors, or equipment as far away as possible from 

existing residential areas. 

AC 13 – TJPA shall properly tune and maintain all diesel power equipment. 

AC 14 – TJPA shall suspend grading operations during first and second stage smog alerts, and 

during high winds, i.e., greater than 25 miles per hour. 

AC 15 – TJPA, shall, upon completion of the construction phase, buildings with visible signs of 

dirt and debris from the construction site shall be power washed and/or painted (given that 

permission is obtained from the property owner to gain access to and wash the property with no 

fee charged by the owner). 
Page 22 Rev. 1, 29NOV07 

17. VISUAL/AESTHETICS – CONSTRUCTION 

See discussion of visual/aesthetic impacts from construction, Section 5.21.16 of the Final 

EIS/EIR. Short-term visual changes as a result of construction activities are a common and 

accepted feature of the urban environment, and generally, mitigation is not required. 

Nonetheless, mitigation measures include: 

VA 1 – TJPA shall assure that construction crews working at night direct any artificial lighting 

onto the work site in order to minimize "spill over" light or glare effects on adjacent areas. 

VA 2 – TJPA shall assure that contractors make all efforts possible to minimize specific 

aesthetic and visual effects of construction identified by neighborhood businesses and residents.

TRANSBAY TERMINAL/CALTRAIN DOWNTOWN EXTENSION/ 

REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT 

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 

INTRODUCTION

Assembly Bill (AB) 3180 was enacted by the State Legislature to provide a mechanism to 

ensure that mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act 

("CEQA") process are implemented in a timely manner and in accordance with the terms of 

project approval. Under AB 3180, local agencies are required to adopt a monitoring or reporting 

program designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. 

The Transbay Terminal/Caltrain Downtown Extension/Redevelopment Project Mitigation 

Monitoring and Reporting Program ("Mitigation Monitoring Program"), pursuant to AB 3180, 

CEQA Section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, provides the basic framework 

through which adopted mitigation measures will be monitored to ensure implementation. 

ORGANIZATION

The Mitigation Monitoring Program is organized in a table format, keyed to each adopted 

Final EIS/EIR mitigation measure. For each measure, the table: (1) lists the mitigation measure; 

(2) specifies the party responsible for implementing the measure; (3) establishes a schedule for 

mitigation implementation; (4) assigns mitigation monitoring responsibility; and (5) establishes 

monitoring actions and a schedule for mitigation monitoring. 

IMPLEMENTATION 

While the Mitigation Monitoring Program generally outlines the actions, responsibilities 

and schedule for mitigation monitoring, it does not attempt to specify the detailed procedures to 

be used to verify implementation (e.g., interactions between the Project Sponsor – the Transbay 

Joint Powers Authority, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and City departments, use of 

private consultants, signed-off on plans, site inspections, etc.). Specific monitoring procedures 

are either contained in approval documents or will be developed at a later date, closer to the time 

the mitigation measures will actually be implemented. 

The majority of the measures will be monitored primarily by the Transbay Joint Powers 

Authority (TJPA), in consultation with other City and non-City agencies, as part of the site 

permit, building permit processes or other report.

Noise – Construction

NoiC 1 – Comply with San Francisco noise ordinance. The noise ordinance includes specific limits on noise from construction. The basic requirements are: • Maximum noise level from any piece of powered construction 

equipment is limited to 80 dBA at 100 feet. This translates to 86 dBA at 50 feet. 

• Impact tools are exempted, although such equipment must be 

equipped with effective mufflers and shields. The noise control equipment on impact tools must be as recommended by the manufacturer and approved by the Director of Public Works.

Monitoring Act

• Construction activity is prohibited between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. if 

it causes noise that exceeds the ambient noise plus 5 dBA 

The noise ordinance is enforced by the San Francisco DPW, which may waive some of the noise requirements to expedite the project or minimize traffic impacts. For example, along Townsend Street where much of the land use is commercial, business owners may prefer nighttime construction since it would reduce disruption during normal business hours. The DPW waivers usually allow most construction processes to continue until 2 a.m., although construction processes that involve impacts are rarely allowed to extend beyond 10 p.m. This category would include equipment used in demolition such as jackhammers and hoe rams, and pile driving. It is not anticipated that the construction documents would have specific limits on nighttime construction. There may be times when nighttime construction is desirable (e.g., in commercial districts where nighttime construction would be less disruptive to businesses in the area) or necessary to avoid unacceptable traffic disruptions. Since the construction would be subject to the requirements of the San Francisco noise regulations, in these cases, the contractor would need to work with the DPW to come up with an acceptable approach balancing interruption of the business and residential community, traffic disruptions, and reducing the total duration of the construction. NoiC 2 – Conduct noise monitoring. The purpose of monitoring is to ensure that contractors take all reasonable steps to minimize noise.

NoiC5 – Minimize use of vehicle backup alarms. Because backup alarms are designed to get people’s attention, the sound can be very noticeable even when their sound level does not exceed the ambient, and it is common for backup alarms at construction sites to be major sources of noise complaints. A common approach to minimizing the use of backup alarms is to design the construction site with a circular flow pattern that minimizes backing up of trucks and other heavy equipment. Another approach to reducing the intrusion of backup alarms is to require all equipment on the site to be equipped with ambient sensitive alarms. With this type of alarm, the alarm sound is automatically adjusted based on the ambient noise. In nighttime hours when ambient noise is low, the backup alarm is adjusted down.

NoiC 6 – Include noise control requirements in construction specifications. These should require the contractor to • Perform all construction in a manner to minimize noise. The

• Use equipment with effective mufflers. Diesel motors are 

often the major noise source on construction sites. Contractors 

should be required to employ equipment fitted with the most effective commercially available mufflers. 

• Perform construction in a manner to maintain noise levels at 

noise sensitive land uses below specific limits. 

• Perform noise monitoring to demonstrate compliance with the 

noise limits. Independent noise monitoring should be performed to check compliance in particularly sensitive areas. 

• Minimize construction activities during evening, nighttime, 

weekend and holiday periods. Permits would be required before construction can be performed in noise sensitive areas during these periods. 

• Select haul routes that minimize intrusion to residential areas. 

This is particularly important for the trench alternatives that 

will require hauling large quantities of excavation material to disposal sites. 

Controlling noise in contractor work areas during nighttime hours is likely to require some mixture of the following approaches: • Restrictions on noise producing activities during nighttime 

hours. 

• Laying out the site to keep noise producing activities as far as 

possible from residences, to minimize the use of backup alarms, and to minimize truck activity and truck queuing near the residential areas. 

• Use of procedures and equipment that produce lower noise

levels than normal. For example, some manufacturers of construction equipment can supply special noise control kits with highly effective mufflers and other materials that substantially reduce noise emissions of equipment such as generators, tunnel ventilation equipment, and heavy diesel power equipment including mobile cranes and front-end loaders. 

• Use of temporary barriers near noisy activities. By locating the 

barriers close enough to the noise source, it is possible to obtain substantial noise attenuation with barriers 10 to 12 feet high even though the residences are 30 to 40 feet higher than the construction site. 

• Use of partial enclosures around noisy activities. It is 

sometimes necessary to construct shed-like structures or complete buildings to contain the noise from nighttime activities.

Design the tunneling and excavation procedures (and construction sequence), and design of the temporary support system with the objective of controlling ground deformations within small enough levels to avoid damage to adjacent structures. Where the risk of damage to adjacent structures is too great, special measures will be implemented such as: (1) underpinning, (2) ground improvement, and/or (3) strengthening of existing structures to mitigate the risks. Underpinning may include internal strengthening of the superstructure, bracing, reinforcing existing foundations, or replacing existing foundations with deep foundations embedded outside the tunnel zone of influence. Alternatives, in lieu of underpinning, involve strengthening the rock between the building and crown of tunnel. Grouting in combination with inclined pin piles can be used not only to strengthen the rock, but also make the rock mass over the tunnel act as a rigid beam, allowing construction of tunnels with no adverse effects on the buildings supported on shallow foundations over the tunnel.

HMC 2 – Perform detailed investigations of the potential presence of contaminants in soil and groundwater prior to construction, using conventional drilling, sampling, and chemical testing methods. Based on the chemical test results, a mitigation plan will be developed to establish guidelines for the disposal of contaminated soil and discharge of contaminated dewatering effluent, and to generate data to address potential human health and safety issues that may arise as a result of contact with contaminated soil or groundwater during construction. The investigation and mitigation plan will follow the requirements of the City and County of San Francisco’s Article 22A in the appropriate areas along the alignment. With construction projects of this nature and magnitude, there are typically two different management strategies that can be employed to address contaminated soil handling and disposal issues. Contaminated soil can be excavated and stockpiled at a centralized location and subsequently sampled and analyzed for disposal profiling purposes in accordance with the requirements of the candidate disposal landfill. Alternatively, soil profiling for
