Coal Combustion Residuals Management
For decades, utilities have managed their coal combustion residuals (CCR) through beneficial use or disposal in landfills and ash ponds. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued new regulations for Legacy ponds and CCR management units that could dramatically change long-standing industry practices and significantly increase the number of regulated CCR units.
With our diverse staff of engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, permitting specialists and construction managers, we are uniquely positioned to help you turn the uncertainty of new regulations into a more certain path forward.
Your Partner in CCR Management
Closing a CCR surface impoundment or developing a new CCR landfill can take years to permit, design and construct, and these efforts can be complex. You need a consulting partner like us, providing a full spectrum of services that combines energy, solid waste, environmental, groundwater, and plant water balance investigative knowledge, as well as permitting and construction-related capabilities. We have experience to analyze your situation and help you find your path forward.
CCR Project Delivery
Our design and construction experience includes disposal facilities for CCR, hazardous waste, and municipal solid waste. Our experience includes successful permitting and design of multiple utility waste landfills throughout the United States.
With appropriate data in hand, our team will prepare necessary design and permit documents, construction specifications and construction drawings for:
- Groundwater monitoring networks and corrective action
- Landfill expansions or closures
- CCR impoundment closures
Our project delivery can include direct-hire construction, construction management, design-build, engineer-procure-construct (EPC), full-time resident construction observation and construction quality assurance. We also provide environmental services and hazardous waste management should your selected sites have these concerns.
We can assist with:
- Permitting
- Engineering new units, closure, beneficial use and more
- Preliminary and detailed site investigations
- Environmental assessments, including groundwater networks
- Environmental investigations and remediation
- Statistical analyses
- Fate and transport modeling
- Remediation programs
- Groundwater treatment systems
