Chemical Plant back
Client: Tessenderlo Kerley, Phoenix, Arizona
Project: Sahuarita, Arizona
With the encroachment of high end housing along the property boundaries, a chemical distribution plant was determined to be no longer economic. The decision was made to close the plant.
Solution: This property was a 40-year-old agricultural and mining chemical manufacturing, storage and distribution plant that covered 15.5 acres within a 220 acre property. The environmental work included a chemical inventory and HAZCATing of 610 fifty-five-gallon drums and operating equipment for recycling or disposal. On-site remediation work included the investigation of their underground storage tanks, tank farm and operating facilities. It required the identification and removal of old onsite landfills, land farming of impacted soils from the facility operations, removal and disposal of white phosphorus, and removal of infrastructure that included a rail spur. The site work included the preparation of SWPP, PPP, air permitting, site assessment work plan and final site assessment reporting for closure. |
