As such, F&A in coordination with governmental officials successfully negotiated a Site Screening Workplan and implementation focusing on the industrial area of past disposal. Areas of the landfill outside of the industrial disposal were targeted for closure under the State of Tennessee Open Dump Closure Regulations.

Throughout the project, F&A has been responsible for comprehensive site investigation and managment. Tasks that have been completed include a passive soil gas survey to optimize sampling locations in the industrial disposal area; soil, sediment, and ground water sampling; placement of temporary ground water wells to optimize placement of permanent ground water wells. Followed by installation of those permanent wells, a master Health and Safety Plan was also prepared by F&A for implementation of all field activities. Health and Safety protocols have included strict area and personnel monitoring and close evaluation of PPE requirements throughout all field work.

F&A has been tasked with designing the final soil cap for the facility and developing a long-term ground water monitoring program.

Fisher & Arnold was selected by a local governmental agency to conduct a remedial investigation/feasibility study on an approximately 120-acre abandoned municipal disposal site. The site is identified as a State Superfund site and was suspected to be contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Under a State Commissioner's Order, the investigation was required to focus on an area believed to be utilized for industrial disposal, in addition to other potentially threatening areas.

After a number of years in workplan development and review, a summary presentation of all past investigations of the site was prepared utilizing Arcview, a Geographic Information System software tool. Numerous site investigations conducted at various locations with various analytical tests were reviewed and combined, with a Site Conceptual Model developed by F&A, for a presentation to TDEC officials. The summary presentation in Arcview, assisted in communicating that past results at the site were not excessively elevated and supported a different project approach.
