About the Service
The City of Seattle has outlined a comprehensive process for soil remediation during construction to ensure safety and environmental compliance. Here’s how we get it done:
Site Assessment and Planning
- Conduct a thorough site assessment to identify contaminants and determine the extent of soil pollution
- Develop a detailed remediation plan, including methods and timelines, and submit it for approval by relevant regulatory bodies
Permitting and Approvals
- Obtain necessary permits and approvals from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) and other regulatory agencies
- Ensure compliance with the Seattle Construction Standards and Plans
Containment and Safety Measures
- Implement containment measures to prevent the spread of contaminants during excavation
- We employ protective measures and safety protocol when handling contaminated soil
Excavation and Soil Removal
- Excavate contaminated soil according to the approved remediation plan
- Export the excavated soil to a certified treatment or disposal facility
Soil Treatment
- Utilize appropriate soil treatment methods depending on the type of contaminants
- Monitor the treatment process to ensure effectiveness
Backfilling and Site Restoration
- Backfill the excavated area with clean or treated soil
- Restore the site to its original condition or prepare it for new construction, ensuring proper compaction and grading
Monitoring and Verification
- Conduct post-remediation soil testing to verify that the contaminants have been effectively removed or neutralized
- Submit verification reports to the regulatory bodies for final approval
Documentation and Reporting
- Maintain detailed records of all remediation activities, including site assessments, permits, treatment methods, and post-remediation test results
- Provide comprehensive documentation to SPU and other relevant agencies as required
