American Integrated Service, KAST Project
American Integrated Service came to Environmental Noise Control when the City of Carson, CA, contracted them for a landmark soil-remediation project. Their work entailed placing pipelines underground at approximately 36" " -46" to channel the extracted soil materials out of the contaminated soil. Significant excavation and improvement to existing properties are also part of the plan, which ...

Chlorinated VOC Groundwater & Soil Remediation - Case Study
Summary Burns & McDonnell was retained to perform soil and groundwater remediation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene (PCE and TCE) at a warehouse facility in Dallas. A historical spill of the chlorinated VOCs behind the warehouse building resulted in the contamination of soil in the immediate area and shallow groundwater leading ...

Creek Channel & Floodplain Restoration Project - Case Study
The ERC & Burgess & Niple team was selected as the design-build team to complete the design, permitting and construction work along Turtle Creek. The scope of work included the removal of a failing sheet pile wall, clearing and grubbing, excavation/embankment, re-alignment of the stream, installation of instream structures and rip-rap slope protection. During the removal of the sheet ...

Remediate former service station - Case Study
ERC was hired as the General Contractor for this project to remediate the former service station. Gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) were previously removed however historical releases had contaminated both soil and groundwater at the site. The remedial activities for this project included excavation and off-site disposal of petroleum contaminated soils, as well as the addition of ...

Heavy Metals in Soil: Treat with Blastox
What are Heavy Metals in Soil? The EPA requires a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test to determine if the heavy metals in soil needs to be managed as hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Soils exhibiting hazardous characteristics need to be disposed of at a facility permitted for that material at a high cost. Soils treated in the field prior to off-site disposal can be rendered ...

The Phase 1 Environmental Assessment
In today’s world where every property is subject to potential environmental risks a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment or ESA is an appropriate action to take. An ESA can help determine if the property has been contaminated by previous or current activities. The ESA can help protect the purchaser of a property from environmental risks prior to the closing on a property. Lenders ...

Tacoma, Washington - Well 12A superfund site - Case Study
Combined Remedies for DNAPL Remediation Project Summary TRS Group, Inc. (TRS) teamed with KEMRON and AMEC, under KEMRON's U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Environmental Remediation Services Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), to perform electrical resistance heating (ERH) for the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the vadose zone soil and shallow groundwater at ...

Asbestos contaminated soil case study
An active gypsum manufacturing facility discovered they had a large area of gypsum waste containing asbestos mixed with soil at the back of their property. The waste had accumulated over the years before the dangers of asbestos were known and now required remediation due to communication wires buried in the waste. Excavators could not be used due to the presence of the communication wires that ...

Innovative approach to unforeseen site conditions – case study
The Crater Resources Quarry 3 Remediation site was a former limestone quarry that was later used as a disposal site for Waste Ammonia Liquor (WAL) generated by the coke making facility at a steel mill. The WAL contained water, ammonia, and small amounts of various hydrocarbons formed during the coking process. Coking operations shut down by the mid 1980's and discharge into the quarry ceased. The ...

Extensive remediation of superfund site - case study
The 80 acre site, formerly a minerals processing facility, was operated primarily to recover lithium and other rare-earth minerals from ores. Raw ores were imported to the site for processing. During one phase of its operations, the facility also processed uranium ores for the government. The site was listed as by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Comprehensive Environmental ...

Soil and groundwater assessment, Northern England
Project Remediation Strategies were appointed to assist in the identification of a hydrocarbon contamination source that had resulted in significant vapours within a residential property. Further works to asses the nature and extent of soil contamination were also commissioned, together with detailed vapour risk assessments and subsequent vapour remediation works. Workspace An initial internal ...

Wireless Real-Time Soil Data from Stevens Hydra Probe Soil Sensors Used In Contaminated Soil Cleanup Operation
Up until the early 1970s when The US Congress passed The Clean Water Act, industrial chemicals and petroleum products were routinely dumped onto the ground or poured down wells. In those days, few people understood groundwater hydrology, and disposing of chemical waste underground seemed like a safe and easy solution. Depending on the chemistry, underground pollution can linger for centuries, ...

Efficient pit remediation - CETCO Oilfield Services Process for Treating Pit Water
A consulting firm was involved in remediating a large earthen pit, which previously contained oil and produced waters near Venice, Louisiana. The site contained approximately 17,000 barrels of produced water and accumulated rainwater. While the entire project involved many aspects, excavating the contaminated soil could not commence until the 17,000 barrels of oily surface water was removed. ...

Case study – BTEX contamination - Kentucky
In 1992, remedial activities began at the Shively Service Center located in Radcliff, Kentucky. After the leaking underground storage tanks were removed from the site approximately 1,500 cubic yards of BTEX impacted soil was excavated and disposed off-site from the tank pits. Based on the review of historical sampling activities it was believed that the majority of the impacted soils were removed ...

Dehalogenation
Introduction: Contaminated soil is screened, processed with a crusher and pug mill, and mixed with reagents. The mixture is heated in a reactor. The dehalogenation process is achieved by either the replacement of the halogen molecules or the decomposition and partial volatilization of the contaminants. Base-catalyzed Decomposition (BCD) Base-catalyzed decomposition (BCD) process was developed ...
