Landfarming

Site location, end use location and landfarm site availability govern where excavated VOC impacted soil can be treated and used. Three options are available:

• treated and replaced on site;
• treated and used as fill elsewhere; and,
• disposed of at a regulated landfill.

Landfarming has been shown to be a cost effective and simple method for the remediation of VOC impacted soils. By tilling and aerating the impacted soils, VOC’s are evaporated out of the soil mass until contaminant levels are below applicable guidelines.

Nichols Environmental is responsible for the geological characterization of the proposed site, preparation of regulatory approvals and permits, and supervision of site preparation including scarifying and compacting of the clay subgrade. Confirmation soil sampling of the treated soil and the original clay base is performed by Nichols Environmental in order to complete the remediation program and regulatory reporting requirement.

Nichols Environmental has completed numerous landfarming remediation programs for VOC impacted sites. All soil excavated has been treated to a level which meets or exceeds the applicable guideline for each site.
