REMEDIATION CORPORATE EXPERIENCE


CLIENT:   Fortune 100 Manufacturer

PROJECT TYPE:   Remediation of TCLP-Lead Hazardous Material

DESCRIPTION:   Forty-five thousand tons of RCRA-hazardous glass cullet required removal from listed CERCLA Site. Hampton-Clarke, Inc. worked closely with the client's corporate counsel and performed a remedial investigation/risk assessment and then developed an RCRA-exempt recycling strategy that won state and federal regulatory approval. Aspects of the project included perimeter air monitoring, field sampling/ drilling, waste characterization, project management, storm water management/ underground piping, contaminant delineation, material dual deck screening, stockpiling of hazardous and recyclable material, and disposal & transportation management. All work was completed on schedule and under budget.

Cost $8 million


CLIENT:   Lead Glass Manufacturer

PROJECT TYPE:   Lagoon Cleanout and Reconstruction Project

DESCRIPTION:   A plant fluoride lagoon required relining to prevent chemical leaching to local ground water. Hampton-Clarke, Inc. supervised the pumping of the lagoon sludge into fractionation tanks (enabling dewatering to proceed concurrently with construction), the disposal of the lagoon solids, and the installation of the lagoon's synthetic/composite liner. Cleanout of the plant lead glass clarifier was performed during this construction and 60 tons of lead contaminated sludge were sampled, characterized, and properly disposed. Both environmental tasks were done simultaneously and under strict time constraints (one month). Work was completed on time and within budget.

Cost $500,000


CLIENT:   Construction Company (DOT Project)

PROJECT TYPE:   PCB Contaminated Waste and Debris

DESCRIPTION:   A large amount of PCB contaminated waste and debris was discovered under the proposed location of an access ramp to an interstate highway. Hampton-Clarke, Inc. was contracted to provide project management, technical supervision, a Health and Safety Plan, and provide OSHA-trained project managers and technicians on a daily basis during the loading of the contaminated soil and water. Our environmental tasks included field sampling, waste characterization, transportation and disposal of 3,500 tons of PCB contaminated soil and over 6,000 gallons of contaminated water. HCI obtained all permits and disposal facility approvals. Bonding considerations and DOT performance premiums made this project a critical path item. Work was completed on time to allow for the scheduled opening of the highway.

Cost $1.3 million


CLIENT:   Manufacturer

PROJECT TYPE:   Decontamination/Demolition Plant Buildings

DESCRIPTION:   Obsolete glass furnace units were heavily contaminated with lead, chromium and arsenic. Exterior furnace surfaces required decontamination prior to demolition. The furnaces were dismantled and the stacks and associated building were demolished/imploded. Hampton-Clarke, Inc. provided project management and supervised all project tasks including the transportation and disposal of hazardous furnace bricks and debris. Work was completed on time and under budget.

CLIENT:   Private Client - Manufacturer

PROJECT TYPE:   Remediation of Landfill Cell

DESCRIPTION:   Hampton-Clarke, Inc. (HCI) was contracted by manufacturer to remove 45 tons of lead-contaminated roofing debris from one of their operating facilities, which was inadvertently disposed of in a local sanitary landfill. HCI subcontracted the excavation of the closed landfill cell (which was complicated by the presence of asbestos). After the excavation was completed, HCI characterized the waste and disposed of the material in a secure RCRA landfill. This operation, which was supervised by the State, required working closely with our client, all subcontractors, and the State to assure that compliance and safety were maintained. The project took four months and was completed on time and within budget.

Cost $310,000


CLIENT:   Private Industrial Company

PROJECT TYPE:   Decommissioning and Remediation of Manufacturing Facility

DESCRIPTION:   The manufacturing facility contracted Hampton-Clarke, Inc. to decommission and remediate the facility, which consisted of four manufacturing and warehouse buildings (over 500,000 sq. ft) on 16-acres of filled tidal wetlands. Most of the work involved disassembly and decontamination of process equipment, appurtenances and interior surfaces, which included demolition of interior structures, excavation of contaminated soil under the building, and a pilot project for the insitu remediation of contaminated groundwater. The project took three years and was completed on time and within budget.

Cost $3,950,000


CLIENT:   Construction Corporation (Two Municipalities)

PROJECT TYPE:   Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades.

DESCRIPTION:   The Construction Corporation built two new wastewater treatment plants for two counties both having significant amounts of contaminated soil and buried sludge. Hampton-Clarke, Inc. (HCI) worked as a WBE under the "set aside" requirements of this publicly funded project. HCI provided the equipment and personnel for soil borings, air monitoring, and all laboratory services to determine the extent of the soil contamination. HCI profiled the waste and arranged the transportation and disposal. In total, HCI supervised the remediation of approximately 30,000 tons of contaminated soil and the transportation of 46 drums of contaminated waste material. The 30,000 tons of soil were classified as ID-12, ID-27, X725, D008 and D003. In preparation for this project, HCI put together several Health and Safety Plans (tailored to the soil classifications) and supervised their implementation during the excavation and loading of the contaminated soil. HCI also supplied a licensed wastewater operator to install, operate, and maintain a dewatering monitoring system. HCI's portion of project was $2,000,000 of a $60 million dollar project, and $600,000 of a $40 million dollar project for the second plant.


CLIENT:   Construction Company (DOT Project)

PROJECT TYPE:   Highway Expansion

DESCRIPTION:   Hampton-Clarke, Inc. was contracted by a large construction company to delineate the extent of soil contamination along the proposed route in a major city. Over 350 composite soil samples were collected and analyzed for the state's ID-27 waste characterization parameters. HCI also installed monitoring wells, and performed groundwater analysis as part of the site delineation. Approximately 500 tons of soil were subsequently classified as a hazardous waste for lead (D008) and were removed from this site. Hampton-Clarke arranged for the permits, manifesting and transportation to the disposal site for this soil. HCI supplied OSHA-trained personnel to supervise the loading of the trucks.

CLIENT:   International Manufacturing Company

PROJECT TYPE:   Investigation and Lead Dust Decontamination

DESCRIPTION:   Hampton-Clarke, Inc. performed Phase I & II Environmental Site Investigations at the client's manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada. The results of these investigations showed widespread lead dust contamination throughout the facility. Hampton-Clarke designed a decontamination procedure consisting of HEPA vacuuming and power-washing. Local labor was trained and exclusively used in the abatement process, per the client's request. During the abatement, PCB-containing fluorescent light ballasts were also discovered. Hampton-Clarke oversaw all onsite activities, arranged for all transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes, and conducted post decontamination sampling and analyses to validate the clean up. The project was completed within the client's requested timeframe.

CLIENT:   International Manufacturing Company

PROJECT TYPE:   Air Monitoring During Use of Experimental Ammunitions

DESCRIPTION:   Hampton-Clarke, Inc. was contracted to develop a sampling plan in order to assess the health-risks that the use of the experimental munitions posed to people within the firing range. Air sampling was conducted at the client's indoor firing range while experimental ammunitions were fired. Multiple sampling events were performed during the use of different air filtration methods at the facility. Based upon the results, Hampton-Clarke made recommendations on the extent and use of the ammunition and the efficiency of the air filtration methods employed. The spent rounds of ammunition were also analyzed for TCLP Metals. Hampton-Clarke used these results to recommend disposal facilities capable of accepting the material as waste.
