The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES)Nonpoint Source Management Program seeks to hire a consultant to perform a due diligence review and develop operational guidelines for materials management associated with non-hazardous roadway soils resulting from municipal roadway maintenance activities such as ditch re-establishment, street sweeping and catch basin cleaning. The NHDES Nonpoint Source Management Program provides funding and technical support for planning and infrastructure projects pertaining to stormwater and nonpoint source management projects. To accomplish the New Hampshire Municipal Roadway Soils Management work, NHDES seeks to enter into a contractual agreement with a qualified consultant to perform the scope of work from approximately April 2024, through December 31, 2025. The project objective is to perform a due diligence review and use the information to develop guidance for proper management of roadway soils generated during routine municipal maintenance activities including ditch re-establishment, street sweeping, and catch basin cleaning. The guidance will also ensure that municipalities maintain compliance with local, state, and federal requirements pertaining to maintenance activities and materials management and are consistent with Env-Sw 903 and NHDES Fact Sheet SW-38 (2023) . A second objective is to provide, to the maximum extent possible, proper operational procedures and training for performing activities and tasks that have potential to generate hazardous waste and non-hazardous contaminated soil and provide guidelines for management of these materials during specified activities. A third objective is to develop up to two regional waivers in accordance with the New Hampshire Solid Waste Rules to manage and reuse non-hazardous roadway soils. A waiver from the New Hampshire Solid Waste Rules may allow for reuse of roadway soils in a prescribed fashion, such as reuse within a permanently owned municipal right-of-way, for municipalities and non-traditional permittees that fall under the New Hampshire MS4 and Great Bay Total Nitrogen General Permits. Additionally, the selected consultant will prepare a findings and recommendation report for all other New Hampshire municipalities relative to development of a waiver from the New Hampshire Solid Waste Rules for reuse of roadway soils.
