Clean Earth is dedicated to recycling every ton possible on every project. In order to increase recycling rates for our customers Clean Earth provides in-depth environmental support to assure every possible ton of waste accepted by Clean Earth that can be recycled, is recycled. For our soil recycling projects, Clean Earth characterizes the contaminated soil from a project site to determine the volume that could potentially be recycled through our network of treatment and recycling facilities. This upfront waste characterization process presents a multitude of benefits. First and foremost - the environmental benefit. Through proper waste classification conducted by a team of environmental experts, Clean Earth finds more soil that can be recycled versus the often taken easy road of disposing directly into a landfill. Second, this characterization process can at times provide a cost savings to the customer. Clean Earth has numerous treatment locations available to service a single project, providing a full service solution for projects that have various contaminants.
Our environmental expertise provided on projects into Clean Earth facilities could make a positive and significant impact on your soil remediation project and your company's sustainablity efforts.
Once project samples have been collected, and the analytical has been reviewed, our environmental team will develop a delineated map and grid approval document for your entire project site. The benefits of this service are phenomenal and the options are unparalleled in the industry.
The site is broken down into grids, each of which is cross-referenced for eligibility into our multiple fixed-base facilities and/or beneficial use sites. Those results are then analyzed to consider time, cost, and location, ultimately giving our customer the best disposal location for each grid.
The Excavation, Material, Disposal Plan (EMDP) sets the foundation for a project’s waste remediation plan. The purpose of this document is to address the management of all identified waste streams, from sampling through waste disposal records. The EMDP allows our customers to have a clear understanding of all the moving parts and details of their specific remediation project.
This environmental support is provided on projects awarded to Clean Earth for small to mid-size contractors and/or general contractors who are not equipped to handle such services internally or do not have an in-house environmental division. Excavation, Material, Disposal Plans are typically required in the bidding process by mainly City agencies such as NYSCA, Sanitation Department, etc.
Clean Earth can assist customers in preparation of such documents required by city agencies as part of their contractual requirement. Clean Earth has qualified personnel to undertake this responsibility to help our customers fulfill their contractual needs.
The following support can be provided under the EMDP preparation:
