Immediate Response Action, Air National Guard C-130 Crash Clean Up
Description
This task order awarded by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District under the Rapid Response / Immediate Response IDIQ for Remediation of Various Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Sites, Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) was for a time critical immediate response action for cleanup at the site of a National Guard C-130 Transport plane crash in Port Wentworth, Georgia. The crash shattered the aircraft, dispersing debris, creating a fire ball, and releasing petroleum-based contaminants over the crash site; including four lanes of State Route (SR) 21, the median, and shoulders within the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) right-of-way (R/W) and on CSX Transportation (CSXT) R/W on the west side of SR 21. SR 21, a major thoroughfare for Savannah, Georgia, required complete closure until the crash site could be restored.
Required activities included excavation and offsite disposal of petroleum-contaminated soil resulting from the crash; backfill and site restoration of the excavated areas; removal of damaged asphalt on the state highway due to the fuel spill, and fire associated with the plane crash; repaving of the damaged areas of the state highway; removal and offsite disposal of all trees damaged by the plane crash; as well as coordination between Savannah District Corps of Engineers, State of Georgia Department of Energy (DE), the state DOT, and CSX Railroad. The available working area at the site was extremely constrained, and to meet the objectives and timeliness for all stakeholders, highway repairs, and soils remediation required concurrent action with substantial safety oversight so that highway repair, excavation/T&D, soil sampling, and other actions could be simultaneously conducted.
