Representative Projects

Ciba-Geigy Superfund Site Ciba-Geigy Superfund Site
Toms River, NJ

Manufacturing at the Site included the production of a variety of dyestuffs, pigments, epoxy resins, additives, and miscellaneous specialty chemicals until 1996, when production ceased at the facility. The Remedial Design Work Plan through the final design, including regulatory review, was achieved in one year. Drum removal activities and construction of biotreatment facilities are completed.
     
Pennsylvania Act 2 Projects Pennsylvania Act 2 Projects
Various locations in Pennsylvania

In Phoenixville, Advanced GeoServices developed a strategy for closure of a pump and treat system at a former manufacturing facility. The Final Report presented the anisotropy analysis and allowed the client to turn off the groundwater extraction and treatment system, which had been operating for over seven years, saving the client an estimated $100,000 per year. In Lancaster, a college wanted to convert a former scrap yard into athletic fields. Advanced GeoServices prepared a Cleanup Plan which was approved by PADEP without comments. In Oaks, a former metal fabrication facility needed three surface impoundments cleaned and closed. The Final Report was approved without comment and the site has been redeveloped into a commercial facility.
     
Burgess Battery Site Burgess Battery Site
Freeport, IL

This abandoned dry cell battery manufacturing facility stored large quantities of drummed and packaged hazardous materials on site.  All waste has been removed from the site and the buildings have been decontaminated and demolished. Illinois EPA approved Advanced GeoServices’ groundwater modeling in support of a natural attenuation remedy. A No Further Remediation for the site was approved by Illinois EPA in 2003.
     
RCRA Facility Investigations at Smelting & Refining Sites   RFIs at Smelting & Refining Sites
Various locations nationwide

Industrial operations are often required to conduct RCRA Facility Investigations (RFI) as a condition of their RCRA permit. The scope of such an investigation is dictated by the findings of the facility assessment process. Advanced GeoServices has worked with facility personnel to develop a scope and level of detail for RFI, commensurate with the complexity of their individual site. Investigation activities have included air deposition modeling; statistical evaluations (kriging); soil, sediment, surface water, and groundwater sampling; geophysical surveys; lead paint screening; air quality sampling; ecological exposure assessments; and human exposure assessments. Advanced GeoServices has successfully negotiated with state and federal agencies on behalf of our clients.

Advanced GeoServices was able to double the operating life of the impoundments at several dyestuffs manufacturing facilities. In one instance, we designed a new wastewater treatment system to utilize aboveground tanks, allowing for the decommissioning of the lagoons. In another, we made the site layout more efficient and improved the control of site stormwater.
     
Gould Superfund Site   Gould Superfund Site
Portland, OR

Operations occurred for over 30 years at a former lead-acid battery recycling site and secondary lead smelter. Portions of the site were filled with battery casing material as well as matte and slag from the smelting activities. A remnant of East Doane Lake contained sediments with elevated levels of lead and organics. Advanced GeoServices designed and oversaw the construction of an on-site containment facility for sediments dredged from East Doane Lake and additional contaminated material.
