Permanent stabilization reagent products for insitu remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals. Successfully used by municipal, state, federal and private sector clients for more than a decade to treat heavy metals contamination.
Free Flow 200, a heavy metals stabilization reagent, was successfully used for the treatment of mine tailing wastes at a project in Galena, Illinois.
The property which is part of the large regional Galena lead mining area is being slated for future development and required a “clean bill of health” from the Illinois EPA prior to any potential future site activity.
The property was tested and determined to contain high levels of up to 250 mg/L TCLP lead. The EPA requires soil with levels of greater than 5 mg/L of lead to either be handled as a hazardous waste and taken to a Subtitle C Hazardous Waste Landfill or to be treated in situ and meeting the 5 mg/L standard allowing the waste be to handled as a Special Waste and taken to a subtitle D Special Waste Landfill. The subtitle D option has significant cost savings benefits versus the Subtitle C alternative.
