SW Missouri RCRA Corrective Action Site
Hazardous waste pollution presents a complex set of issues affecting soil, surface water, and groundwater. Successful identification, containment, and remediation of contaminants requires a long-term strategy involving ongoing site analysis and treatment of affected areas.
Pinnacle Engineering is well-versed in the requirements associated with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and other federal regulatory programs. With expertise in site contamination and remediation, we help industrial clients successfully navigate environmental challenges with effective solutions.
Environmental Challenge
Pinnacle Engineering has provided hydrogeological and engineering services on a complex contaminated site for over 25 years. Historic chemical storage, handling, and material manufacturing has impacted the soil, groundwater, and groundwater downgradient by introducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-VOCs, metals, light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs), and dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs).
To further complicate the situation, the complex geologic and hydrogeological conditions at this site feature three distinct groundwater units across the upper 350 feet of bedrock systems.
Site Contamination Evaluation & Management
The Site’s Conceptual Site Model (CSM) required evaluation of inorganic groundwater geochemistry, monitoring well hydrographs, potentiometric surface maps, hydraulic cross-sections, well logs, dye traces, aquifer testing data, chemicals of concern and flow characteristics, fracture and photolinear mapping, and videologging.
Analysis & Results
The evaluation led to implementing an aggressive soil and groundwater remediation, evolving from a hydraulic containment and multiphase extraction to innovative in-situ bioremediation enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) injection programs.
Our goal is to continue to build upon our reputation of delivering high-quality services, maintaining open and responsive communications, and providing cost-effective solutions that consistently meet our clients’ needs.
Comprehensive Support for the Industrial Market
No challenge is too great when you have a trusted partner guiding you every step of the way. We provide environmental services that address the complex needs of contaminated sites and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Acting as an extension of your team, we support your operations and serve as a regulatory representative for any environmental challenge.
Pinnacle’s approach is not like most consultants; they work with our company’s best interests in mind and propose cost and time-effective remedies over remedies that are more financially beneficial to themselves. This has also built a tremendous level of trust that makes working together that much easier.
