PennDOT Findley Connector Project

DCK Worldwide, LLC (Dick Corp)
Clinton, PA – 2004-2005 – $1,400,000

Scope of Work:
New roadway construction required crossing an abandoned landfill that had operated for fifty years, unpermitted and unregulated, in a former strip mine pit. The landfill contained both municipal and industrial wastes. The industrial waste contained heavy metals and chemical solvents.

Neumeyer Environmental excavated 300,000 cubic yards of soil and segregated it by contaminant concentration. We recycled the uncontaminated soil as roadbase material to be used on-site. We placed the minimally contaminated soil in an on-site containment cell that PA Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) permitted specifically for the project. Neumeyer Environmental profiled the remaining soil as either residual or hazardous waste and transported it to appropriate disposal facilities.

By segregating the soils, we were able to retain on-site and reuse 270,000 of the 300,000 cubic yards originally excavated, saving millions of dollars in transportation and disposal costs.

PennDOT Bayfront Connector Highway

DCK Worldwide, LLC (Dick Corp)
Erie, PA – 2003-2004 – $1,600,000

Scope of Work:
PENNDOT encountered soil contaminated with heavy metals and industrial herbicides in the process of constructing a four-lane road connecting Interstate 90 and Interstate 79 in Erie, Pennsylvania. The contaminated soil was located within the footprint of the proposed 6 acre storm water retention basin required for the project.

Neumeyer Environmental removed 22,000 tons of soil from the site. We installed a barrier of compacted limestone across the base of the excavation overlain with plastic sheeting. This barrier system allowed construction of the retention basin to continue in an uncontaminated environment.

Neumeyer Environmental provided 40-hour HAZWOPER training for the project personnel to allow specialty crews, such as utillity and carpentry crews, to continue with the highway construction.
