Wastewater basin remediation options.
Wastewater basin remediation options.
(OP)
I would like your thoughts on this following scenario.
We have a wastewater basin that has minor contamination of PCBs, metals and the like. The local DEP would like us to remediate and close this basin. Filling in the whole basin with debris is an option but might require a lot earth work based on the size of the basin (12 acres). Stabilization is effective but costly.
Any other applicable methods which might be cost effective and simple to implement. It is not required that this area will be re-used in the future.
Thanks.

There are onsite thermal units so you can remove it, clean it, and put it back in place. Other wise, you're hauling almost 250,000 cy out.
How about driving sheeting all around the area with a filter fabric so it is contained laterally?
