Nashua River Asbestos Site Water Treatment System
Maxymillian Technologies treated contaminated water from a 600-foot
portion of the Nashua River. Overall site cleanup included river
excavation, water treatment, and riverbank restoration. Maxymillian
Technologies' scope of work involved mobilizing a MT designed and
operated Water Treatment System to conduct full-scale treatment
operations.
Maxymillian Technologies' water treatment and discharge
system treated sediment-laden, asbestos-and coal tar-contaminated water
obtained from dewatering an excavation at a continuous rate of 500
gallons per minute (GPM), 24 hours per day.
Following treatment, the water was sampled and analyzed
to ensure that treatment standards were met. Maxymillian Technologies
interfaced with regulatory officials to attain a NPDES Exclusion Permit
to discharge treated water back into the Nashua River.
The final stage of the project involved removing spent
filter media, piping, frac tanks, and solids/sludges. This was followed
by the decontamination of the entire treatment system and related
materials, and demobilization.
Maxymillian Technologies' water treatment operations
supported the combined efforts of the USEPA, the US Army Corps of
Engineers, and other New England Remedial Action Contract Team members,
to restore the environmental integrity of a section of the Nashua
River.
"Maxymillian Technologies had the additional
burden of maintaining the on-site water treatment system on a 24
hour/day schedule. They were always able to perform their work in a
highly efficient and safety conscious manner despite these challenges.
Maxymillian's seamless operation and maintenance of the water treatment
system played a major role in the timely completion of the project."
