Experience in Detail

---

Gems Landfill Superfund site ($45mm) – Design Build remediation of a 125 acre municipal landfill including the following elements:

• RCRA composite cap including clay-max and geo-synthetic components.
• Gas collection, distribution and flare system.
• Leachate collection and treatment system.
• Surface water control including energy dissipation systems within the landfill (250 feet high) and within the transition to the adjacent river.

Waukegan Harbor Superfund site ($25mm) – Design Build remediation of Waukegan Harbor which was contaminated by PCB’s as a result of discharges by Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) including the following elements:

• Hydraulic dredging of the contaminated sediments.
• Construction of sheet pile walls and temporary cofferdams to complete select excavation within the harbor.
• Mechanical dewatering and physical drying of excavated sediments.
• Thermal desorption of more than 25,000 cubic yards excavated sediments to less than 1 PPM and placement within a RCRA designed cell onsite.
• Transportation of the resulting 3000 gallons of re-condensed PCB liquids for subsequent offsite incineration. 
• Reconstruction of the slip including slips, shore access, utilities and parking.

GE Ft. Edwards Hudson River Superfund Site ($20MM)

• Completed extensive aerial excavation and monitoring/testing of PCB contamination.
• Completed extensive aerial shoreline capping using claymax and riprap protection for General Electric under an EPA driven consent order. 

Fairchild San Jose Superfund Site ($350mm) – Design Build remediation of an active, then redeveloped 9 acre Semiconductor manufacturing facility which had significant releases of chlorinated solvents. The project elements included the following: 

• After offsite contamination of the water supply for the City of San Jose (which initiated involvement), convert city water supply wells into extraction/plume control wells.      Immediately installed additional significant volume (>1500gpm) pumping wells and activated carbon/air stripping treatment systems.
• Designed and installed a hydraulic control system between the city wells and the Fairchild Site. Provided a combination of direct surface water discharge to the storm sewer (aeration) and Air Stripping for long term economic treatment/discharge control. 
• Constructed a 137 ft maximum depth slurry wall around the entire perimeter of the 9-acre site using extended stick backhoe and clamshell equipment.
• Employed specialty excavation equipment adjacent to the building including a 60-inch diameter auger to depths of 35 feet to avoid disturbing internal building chip manufacturing equipment.
• Implement an accelerated Hi Volume Insitu Vacuum Extraction System with subsequent biomaterials re-injection, and Air Sparging.
• Provide long term maintenance and monitoring, along with regulatory negotiation that led to subsequent Retail Development of the property.

Moffet, Ellis Whisman (MEW) Superfund Site Remediation ($300MM) – Design Build remediation of Fairchild led MEW site containing more than 40 different Mountain View Semiconductor and technology related companies contributing to massive soil and groundwater contamination by organic solvents, metals, pesticides and PAH’s . Elements of the 15-year program included the following;

• Installation of several slurry walls to depths exceeding 75 feet.
• Multi-site enhanced Vacuumn extraction and Bio venting/slurping.
• Program Manager lead for the entire group including dealing with the US Navy, a contributor via Moffit Naval Air Station Operations.

Goodyear Superfund Site Remediation ($30MM) – Design Build remediation of a Phoenix, Arizona chlorinated pesticide site including DDT, DDE, and Chlordaneincluding the following work elements:

• Complete site characterization and designation of excavation areas.
• Excavation and blending of the materials for subsequent Low Temperature Thermal Aeration (LTTA).
• Thermal treatment at a rate of 45 Tons/Hour of more than 80,000 tons using a designed, built, Canonie Environmental patented LTTA process.

Ellsworth Air Force Base TERC Remediation ($100MM) – Design Build remediation under the TERC Program including the following elements:

• Design and install a JP-5 recovery well system in and around the runway system.
• Design, construct and operate a 500 gpm groundwater treatment system.
• Design and construct several municipal, hazardous waste, and construction rubble landfill caps, and associated gas, leachate, surface and groundwater control systems.

Omaha Rapid Response Ottawa Remediation Project ($35MM)– Design Build remediation under the Omaha Rapid program, residential and commercial properties in the town of Ottawa, Illinois contaminated with low level radioactive materials. The program included:

• Demolition of numerous structures where foundations were excessively active.
• Select excavation of contaminated soils.
• Loading into containerized trailers later transferred to Rail for subsequent disposal at Envirocare.
• Reconstruction of both residential homes and commercial facilities as appropriate.

Weldon Spring DOE Quarry Remediation ($125MM) – Design build remediation of the Weldon Spring Quarry containing TRU, High- and low-level radioactive materials, chemical and mixed wastes, as well as significant building demolition debris. This 7-year effort included the following components:

• Design, construction and operation of a comprehensive dewatering system to allow subsequent excavation.
• Comprehensive site investigation, testing and sampling programs in advance of excavation.
• Design and construction of material separation and size reduction facilities to handle the myriad waste streams.
• Excavation, segregation, size reduction, decontamination and loading of excavated materials.

Juggernaut Nuclear Reactor Dismantling and Demolition at Argonne National Laboratory ($5MM) – Planning and executing the D&D of the Juggernaut Nuclear test reactor at Argonne National laboratory characterized by the following:

• Developing, authoring and gaining regulatory approval of numerous Health & Safety, Radiation Safety, detailed Work Plans, and Materials/Waste Management Plans.
• Assembling, training, and procuring manpower and equipment necessary to self-perform the D&D and waste materials load out.
