SMART Excavation & Site Remediation Project Management

 

ART can provide overall SMART excavation and site remediation project management services for complicated projects. SMART excavation and soil segregation can provide a significant project cost savings.   

 

Example 1: Bend Trap Club

For the Bend Trap Club site remediation, the goal was to complete the remediation to residential standards for Lead, Arsenic and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH). During initial treatability study performed by ART is was concluded that the lead pellets could be effectively removed from lead-only impacted soils to meet residential cleanup levels for soil after treatment. However, for soils impacted by Lead pellets and PAH, residential standards could not be achieved for PAH. As these soils were characteristically hazardous (exceeding TCLP regulatory limit for Pb), these soils were  excavated selectively, stabilized and disposed at a permitted landfill. The selective excavation and stabilization provided significant cost savings.

Selective Excavation Project Management

Excavation Sequence & Soil Management Plan
Example 2: Springfield Township Superfund Site

At the Springfield Township Superfund Site, ART provided selective excavation, soils management, soil washing and direct soil disposal. The excavation plan and excavation sequence was developed based on available site data. TSCA hazardous soils were processed through soil washing and cleaned soil was used for backfill. The filter cake residue (containing PCBs and metals) was shipped to a TSCA permitted landfill. Selectively excavated non-TSCA regulated soils containing low level of PCB and lead paint residue were classified and disposed as non-hazardous waste. This selective soils excavation and management approach resulted in significant cost savings to the project.
Example 3: Vineland Chemical Superfund Site

For the Vineland Chemical Superfund Site, ART provided a detailed soil excavation, soils management and blending plan to provide a constant feed within design parameters of the soil treatment plant. This approach resulted that all soils including "Hot Spot" areas were amenable to soil treatment. This provided significant project cost savings.

The filter cake residue resulting from the soil washing operation was disposed at a permitted landfill.
