Refinery Facility Closure and Reclamation

Cameron-Cole staff coordinated and managed the abandonment, site remediation, and reclamation of a 55,000-barrel per day refinery in Oklahoma. Abandonment activities included isolation, stabilization, and treatment of waste management units, sludge pits, land treatment units, and wastewater treatment systems. Site remediation involved delineating groundwater impacts, designing, installing, and operating a groundwater recovery and treatment system, and managing solid/hazardous waste treatment and disposal.

Reclamation activities were comprised of the demolition of the remaining site facilities, continued groundwater modeling, and establishing a self-sustaining vegetative cover over the entire 400-acre site. Cameron-Cole also provided additional assessment, remediation, risk assessment, fate and transport modeling, wastewater treatment, and air permitting services. Cameron-Cole conducted an RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) and obtained the first approval granted by EPA Region VI for such an investigation.
