Texas Class 1, 2 and 3 Waste Remediation Case Study
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs was contracted by a national cemetery in Texas that faced the challenge of closing a Vietnam-era, undocumented medical waste landfill that was discovered during a significant site expansion project. As the prime contractor, US Ecology provided a customized plan to support the identification, investigation and closure of the landfill without any disturbance to its operations.
The nature of the waste materials posed a unique challenge to the Department of Affairs. Texas Class 1, 2 and 3 wastes were present, requiring three separate handling, transportation and disposal schemes. US Ecology worked with its facility in Robstown, Texas, in-house transporters, and remedial experts to develop a unique solution. After completing the delineation, excavation, transportation and disposal of over 8,000 cubic yards of material within eight weeks, US Ecology met the engineering firm’s timeline. The work was completed before the major expansion project began which allowed the department to move forward without delay.
US Ecology manages remediation projects from start to finish, and offers industry-leading integrated environmental, emergency and industrial services. The company’s large footprint of wholly owned facilities across North America, minimizes risk to its customers by ensuring the coordination between front-end remedial construction and capability and capacity at the facilities. As a true partner to its customers, US Ecology has built long-standing relationships by providing unequaled service excellence and prioritizing the protection of workforces and the environment with technologies that offer sustainable and secure recycling, treatment and disposal solutions.
