KEMRON Environmental Services, Inc. is under contract with Auburn University to assist with the remediation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) impacted soils on a 10-acre tract of land on the Campus. A Corrective Measures Implementation Plan (CMIP) was prepared which is the corrective measures strategy for soil remediation. The CMIP provides a comprehensive account of past activities, a screening evaluation of remedial technology alternatives, a description of the recommended corrective measure, and details regarding the implementation and schedule of the remedy at the Site in compliance with Auburn’s RCRA Permit. After receiving approval from Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), KEMRON prepared a detailed corrective measure design for the excavation and removal of 2,200 cubic yards of Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) PCB hazardous waste soils, 17,000 cubic yards of non-hazardous waste and offsite disposal at landfills permitted for hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste disposal. KEMRON is currently performing construction oversight of this $4 million remediation project that will be the future home of a new chiller plant for the Campus.

KEMRON’s five-year contract for munitions cleanup at Fort Ord comes to a close in March, and we are disappointed to hear the completion of the cleanup has been delayed due to a lack of funding from Washington as reported in an article from the Monterey County Weekly.
