Waste Management & Disposal
Waste Characterization & Classification
Waste characterization generally will require the definition of the process generating the waste, and if it is not a listed waste, the definition of the characteristics of the waste. USA has extensive experience in assisting clients characterize their waste including: Almost all projects completed by USA require the proper management of some type of waste materials. To effectively manage these wastes, USA offers a thorough knowledge of: RCRA TSCA Radioactive NORM NOW DOT CERCLA State Solid Waste Regulations Federal EPA Regulations Unknown Identification Field Sampling and Inventory Laboratory and Field Analyses
Once a waste is characterized and the disposal facility is selected, a waste code is often required from the state regulating agency. Many states allow the generator to self classify the waste and then simply assign a waste code number for tracking purposes. Self classification requires a thorough knowledge of the regulations. Once classified, a waste profile form is required by the accepting disposal facility.
In addition to the regulatory issues, each disposal facility has their own set of unique forms, analytical requirements and site-specific permits. By utilizing USA to manage your disposal needs you can be assured that your waste stream will be approved in a timely fashion while maintaining compliance with the state and local regulations. USAs waste disposal services include:
petroleum compounds, and other priority pollutants.

Description of Work: USA was contracted by BP Corporation North America, Inc. to perform the Removal Actions at the Former Anaconda Mine in Yerington Nevada. The project was divided into three phases and included: 1) Evaporation Pond Closures The operation of two borrow pits (~121,500 bank cubic yards) were utilized to construct approximately 3 miles of mine haul roads per MSHA specifications. The haul road construction consisted of the installation of ramps, center berms and compacted road base. Once the haul roads were complete, work commenced on the placement of a12-inch compacted contour dust mitigation cover over a 22 acre pond (~34,000 bank cubic yards). Prior to the dust mitigation cover, construction of test pads and a staging area was conducted which included four acres of Tensar TX-140 geo-grid to stabilize the soft underlying pond bed. During construction, real time PM10 measurements were analyzed to measure the effectiveness of the constant dust suppression measures that were followed. 2) Process Area Radiological Area Removal USA began this phase with the construction of a haul road and access ramp through the radiological pond using imported road base material. Additionally, USA constructed a transite pipe staging and sediment decontamination pad and a PVC lined wet RAD removal decontamination pad. USA then excavated seventeen RAD areas around the leach vats, solution tanks, and precipitation plant to a depth of three feet bgs (~1,200 bank cubic yards). The excavated material was stockpiled in the radiological pond area. Load out consisted of blending the precipitation plant and DLSP material into off-site disposal vehicles. Once loaded, each truck was surveyed for radioactivity and for DOT compliance prior to leaving the site. All State of Nevada Radioactive Waste Area PM10 and radiological air monitoring were conducted at all times at 7 stations around the perimeter of the exclusion zone. 3) Transite Pipe Abatement USA began this phase with the construction of an on-site landfill (approximately 6000 bank cubic yards) for the burial of clean transite pipe. Once the landfill was completed, USA removed approximately 21,000 lineal feet of transite pipe across the mine site in diameters ranging from 8 to 24 inches. The transite pipe was considered to be a regulated asbestos contaminated material (RACM) and any sediment within the pipe was considered to be radioactive waste. During the removal activities, the pipe was segregated as either clean or containing sediment/scale. If clean, the pipe was transported to the on-site landfill and if sediment or scale was present it was transported to the transite staging area. Dry decontaminating efforts were conducted on pipe that contained sediment or scale. If successful, the pipe was then transported to the on-site landfill and if sediment/scale remained, it was loaded into roll-off containers for offsite disposal. Clean and decontaminated pipe were buried in the on-site landfill that USA operated and subsequently closed with a 30 cap. All asbestos material handled met the federal and state asbestos requirements.

Description of Work: USA was awarded the closure of three waste water treatment ponds at the Greens Bayou facility that involved the stabilization of hazardous waste and construction of a RCRA cap over three existing impoundments. The scope of work included pumping over 3 MM gallons of water from the ESI basin; placement and compaction of imported clay on the basin floor and interior berm side slopes; place geo-fabric and rip rap on the interior side slopes; and raising and resurfacing existing roads surrounding the ESI basin. Once this basin was operational, USA reconstructed the firewater system pumps and piping. Additional work at the site included the demolition of piping, fittings, concrete foundations, and structural members from the berms of the WSI Ponds; solidification of hazardous waste sludge using a blend of fluidized bed ash and portland cement; collapsing the walls between three existing basins and grading the berm wall fill to achieve intermediate grades; excavate impacted soil along existing roads and drainage channels and consolidate this material into the collapsed basins; and preparation of the RCRA cap and cap subgrade. The cap was sloped at a 3% grade from east to west to promote drainage. Cover components included a 2-foot thick compacted clay layer, a textured 40-mil HDPE flexible membrane liner, an eighteen-inch thick lightly compacted soil fill layer, a six-inch thick imported cap topsoil layer, and vegetative cover consisting of native and adapted grasses. In addition to the WTS ponds closure activities, USA completed the installation of a Sediment Retention Structure at the GB Biosciences discharge point into Greens Bayou. The Sediment Retention Structure consisted of a rock dam with a pea gravel core approximately 100 feet long and 20 feet wide. The structure was designed to keep contaminated sediments from migrating into Greens Bayou.
