Cornell Dubilier Superfund Site Case Study

Transportation & Disposal of PCB Remediation Waste – USEPA Superfund Site

THE CHALLENGE

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was responsible for remediating the Cornell Dubilier Superfund Site in South Plainfield, New Jersey.  The construction schedule required shipping of over 36,000 tons of PCB contaminated soil from the project site in a four month time frame.

THE GOAL

Heritage partnered with the remedial contractor’s team to develop a transportation program to meet the aggressive construction schedule. Heritage offered transparency of records and documentation so that the interested parties including USEPA and USACE knew where the waste was in the transportation and disposal process.

THE SOLUTION

Heritage Waste Solutions provided a multi-modal transportation strategy that included truck and rail shipping of the TSCA regulated material. Over the course of 4 months, Heritage shipped more than 36,000 tons of PCB contaminated soil from the project site using both intermodal containers and triaxle dump trucks.  The intermodal containers were transported to Indianapolis via rail prior to being trans-loaded onto trucks for final disposal at the Heritage Environmental Services Subtitle C Landfill located in Roachdale, Indiana.

Heritage also provided truck to rail transportation of sixty-three (63) intermodal containers representing approximately 1,150 tons of RCRA/TSCA mixed waste to a hazardous waste incinerator in Texas for treatment and disposal.

PROJECT IMPACT

The transportation portion of the project was completed on-time, with no injuries or incidents. The Heritage transportation and disposal program enabled the contractor to meet the aggressive off-site disposal schedule, while providing visibility into the transportation and disposal process.
