TRANSPORT TO BEACH STOCKPILES
Contaminated soil was moved from soil windrows to the beach
stockpiles using either 5-ton or 20-ton dump trucks. A 2-l/2-cubic-yard
bucket loader was used to load the trucks (Figure 6-9). After the trucks
were offloaded at the beach stockpiles, the pile was consolidated using
either a 2-[/2-cubic-yard bucket loader or a dozer. Beach stockpiles were
located as close as possible to the loading areas for boat transportation but
above the high-tide line.
