EXAMPLE PROJECTS

Millcreek Superfund Site Restoration and Redevelopment (PDF-816K)

D’Appolonia was retained by the PRP Group for the Millcreek site to review the remedial design. The original design was found to have some deficiencies, and D'Appolonia prepared a revised design that addressed some technical problems and saved an estimated $1.3 million in construction costs. We then prepared a conceptual design for a 9-hole golf course and golf teaching center, which was subsequently constructed on the site. The implemented reuse option provided a recreational benefit to the community while maintaining the integrity of the landfill cap system.

Slope Stability Evaluation at New England Superfund Site (PDF-716K)

During a remedial investigation of a Superfund Site that was a former municipal disposal area, two large scarps were observed behind the crest of steep debris slopes on the flanks of the disposal area. Because the disposal area was on a hillside above a river, the steep slopes and scarps caused concern relative to the possibility of continued slope movements and eventual contamination of the river. D’Appolonia was retained to develop a geotechnical exploration program, to evaluate the stability of the debris mass, and to develop remedial design concepts to allow site closure.
