Philadelphia’s I-95 Corridor-wide Soil Management

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's engineering District 6-0 is implementing a comprehensive soil management strategy along the Philadelphia I-95 corridor. The goal is to comply with PA's Management of Fill Policy, maximize beneficial reuse and soil balance, minimize soil-handling costs, and ensure health and safety during construction. This initiative covers key areas including the Cottman/Princeton Interchange, Girard Avenue Interchange, Betsy Ross Bridge-Girard Ave., Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange, and Levick Street to Bridge Street. Environmental due diligence and proactive soil management techniques are employed to address historical fill impact. A GIS database facilitates data consolidation, analysis, and decision-making, allowing stakeholders to access up-to-date information for informed actions. By utilizing this resource, the project team aims to streamline processes, promote sustainability, and enhance overall project efficiency.

  1. Philadelphia’s I-95 Corridor-wide Soil Management A Beneficial Use Approach Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Engineering District 6-0

  2. 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 • Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange (BRI) • Bridge/Surface Street Interchange, .8 mile, 3 Phases 2014-2020 • Levick Street to Bridge Street (BSR) • Bridge & Interchange, 2.1 miles; 3 Phases 2016-2023

  5. problems AND RESOLUTION • Environmental Due Diligence…Eyes of the Beholder? • Publication 281 • Management of Fill • Receiving Parties

  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 I-95 Soil Management • Internet accessible • Unique Login by User/Entity • Graphic Presentation of: • Clean/Regulated Fill • Thickness of Fill • Existing/Finish Grade • Beneficial Reuse • “Borrow” Areas

  10. Primary Screen

  11. GIS Database Features

  12. What is shown Polygons 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
