The purpose of this contract is to install a new cover over the existing cover for supplemental protection from groundwater contamination due to infiltration of precipitation in contact with the SPDV material pile. Brief Description SPDV PILE HISTORY The SPDV pile is located immediately east of the main WIPP facility. The SPDV pile was created during the design validation phase of the WIPP for the placement of construction materials resulting from the drilling of two 2,150 foot mine shafts and the underground excavation of connecting tunnels, exploratory tunnels, and four rooms. The materials in the SPDV pile include mined tailings interspersed with soil, rock, and debris from the construction of the shafts.

The SPDV pile encompasses approximately 10 acres and ranges in height from 7 to 20 feet above ground. The pile was closed by grading the contours and covering the pile with a geosynthetic liner, 36 inches of native soil blended with rock, and establishing native vegetation. Three shallow sub-surface monitoring wells were drilled in the vicinity of the SPDV pile to monitor for any discharges from the pile.

The purpose of this project is to replace and upgrade doors and frames to meet current standards and provide a measure of safety against the potential threat of tornadoes and severe storms. The existing doors have reached end of life and no longer seal.
