PROBLEM STATEMENT• Comply with PA’s Management of Fill Policy• Maximize Beneficial Reuse/Soil Balance• Minimize Soil-Handling Related Change Orders and
Costs• Facilitate Health & Safety Planning
3
CONSTRUCTION PHASES
• Cottman/Princeton Interchange (CPR)– 1.4 miles – 2 Construction Phases 2009- 3/2020
• Girard Avenue Interchange (GIR)– Ramps, Interchanges, Surface Streets, Trolly– 3 miles, 6 Construction Phases 2009-9/20– Archeological, Stormwater, Lighting
4
CONSTRUCTION PHASES
• Betsy Ross Bridge-Girard Ave. (AFC)– Highway and Bridges; 1.5 miles; 2 Phases 2016-2025

PROBLEMS AND RESOLUTION
• Environmental Due Diligence…Eyes of the Beholder?– Publication 281– Management of Fill– Receiving Parties
Analytical Suite
Historic UseRegulatoryReceiving
Facility
6
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
• Entire Philadelphia Corridor is “Project Site”• Underlying Fill Impacted by Historic Operations• Consistent Due Diligence• Post-Construction Open Space
7
SOIL MANAGEMENT
• Considered One-Project Site– Facilitates Onsite Reuse
• Consolidated Chemical Data in GIS Database– Statistical Interpretations Between Locations– Color-coded to Soil ‘Standards’
• Tracks Beneficial Reuse• Post-Construction Open Space
8
DATABASE DESIGN ELEMENTS
• Consolidate Environmental Data– Multiple Design Sections
• Intuitive – Ease of Use• Accessibility – Web-based• Dynamic– Data Input is Ongoing through 2023
9
GIS DATABASE FEATURES
• Internet accessible• Unique Login by User/Entity• Graphic Presentation of: – Clean/Regulated Fill– Thickness of Fill– Existing/Finish Grade
– Beneficial Reuse – “Borrow” Areas

WHAT IS SHOWNPOLYGONS ARE
STATISTICAL EXTRAPOLATIONS POP-UP SUMMARY
13
GIS DATABASE FEATURES
• Data Queries– Hits Above ‘Standards’– Geographic-basis– Export in Excel
14
TAKE-AWAY
• This is a Resource– Facilitates:
• Agency Review /Acceptance• Pre- and In-Construction Decisions
• This is a Tool– Everyone on the ‘same page’– Accessible and Updated with Current Data
• This is NOT Mandatory or End-All
