will
be
required
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
RWQCB,
and
to
be
conducted
within
non-
permeable
casings
to
avoid
permitting
the
movement
of

integrity
assessment
methods
are
used,
including
inspection,

term
“clean
soil”
is
a
common

As
used
in
the

from
residential,
commercial,
industrial
activities
including
shipyard
waste,
construction
rubble,

reflects
the
results
of
studies
conducted
within
the

including
2010
leachate
monitoring
results,
which
indicated
the
presence
of
VOCs,
trace
concentrations
of
SVOCs,
and
metals
(barium
and
nickel),
indicting
a
slight
leachate
buildup.
