The USEPA (GLNPO) and XIK Corp funded ハ ( ~50%/50%) a Betterment to the SLRIDT Site Sediment Operable Unit Remedy known as the SLRIDT CAD ACM (Activated Carbon Mat) Project which was NOT a requirement of the Record of Decision (ROD). The ACM installed in the CAD provides additional protectiveness to human health, to the environment and is recognized as a New Technology. ハ
Sand bags were used to ballast the ACM on the previously placed cap sand, which is the 6 inches of Isolation Zone Capping Sand placed near the end of the 2009 construction season, at the bottom of the CAD. An additional 4 feet of sand cap and 6 inches of Environmental Media, from Tallas Island, was placed on top of the ACM.
