Southern Waste Unit
restoration (7800D-0118).
In November 2001, Fernald completed cleanup of the Southern Waste Units,
which includes the South
Field and two flyash piles. The cleanup plan involved
characterizing the soil to determine contamination levels,
excavating the contaminated portions of the soil, and
disposal of the waste in the On-Site Disposal Facility
(OSDF).
Following cleanup, Fernald initiated restoration of the area to
create additional floodplain with wetland features for Paddys
Run Stream and expand the wooded corridor along the stream.
The project involved the
configuration of a post-cleanup “restoration grade” that uses excavations made during
cleanup to create the expanded floodplain areas along Paddys
Run. Workers amended the remaining subsoil with woodchip
mulch, stockpiled topsoil, and re-vegetated the upland portion of
the project site with native trees, shrubs, grasses and
wildflowers. Fernald completed restoration of the
Southern Waste Unit area in 2002.
