Feasibility Studies & Remedial Design
Before a successful remediation effort can be implemented, a responsible party must know the relative nature and extent of the contamination and also have an understanding of the potential threats imposed by the contaminants to public health and any sensitive environmental receptors. Kahl Environmental Services provides feasibility studies, remedial design and pilot testing services to identify, evaluate, and select the most cost-effective and appropriate remedial action(s) for a site. Kahl Environmental has experience implementing most remedial options and can therefore offer insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the various alternatives.
Feasibility Studies/Remedial Design
Our remedial design process can include:
- Bench-scale or pilot testing;
- System and process flow diagrams;
- Process equipment schematics and descriptions;
- Site plan with system and equipment layout;
- Construction specifications;
- Contaminant removal/destruction estimates;
- Evaluation of bioremediation potential;
- Estimated capital, operating, and maintenance costs; and
- Proposed design and construction schedule.
At sites where active remediation is cost-prohibitive or otherwise inappropriate, KES can implement no-action response options to argue for closure. This can include such services as regional data research (historical issues, land use, etc.), health risk assessments, natural attenuation assessments, and fate & transport studies.
Fate & Transport Studies
Chemical fate and transport modeling is a very useful tool to understanding the behavior of contaminants in the soil and groundwater environments. This tool can be used to support remedial design decisions by providing a clear understanding of site conditions to enable efficient interception and/or recovery of contaminants. Fate and transport modeling is also used as a key data collection and prediction tool in support of site closure using the risk-based correction action (RBCA) approach.
