Background

Located in the Ohio River Valley, this manufacturing facility operated for more than one hundred years. The manufacturing operations began in 1890 and included tobacco, metal casting, and engine parts. After 2008, the site was used for warehousing and industrial storage. During the long industrial history of the property, chlorinated solvents were used and ultimately contaminated approximately 7,500 square feet of shallow groundwater.

Because of the magnitude and extent of groundwater contamination, remediation was necessary in order for the site to be safely used in the future. REGENESIS and WSP, a global environmental consulting firm, designed a combined remedy approach of PlumeStop with HRC and BDI+. This technology was selected to address the groundwater contamination at this site because of its ease of delivery, adsorptive capacity for both contaminants and its biostimulant effects.
