Hazardous Waste Removal Operations Conducted in Support of the BZ Agent/Munitions Disposal Facility Remediation Project
Abstract
The U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) with URS Corporation was tasked with identifying, removing, and disposing of hazardous materials from a former BZ Agent/Munitions Disposal Facility (BZDF) located at Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA), Pine Bluff. AR, prior to mass demolition of the facility. This project required ECBC to provide the necessary technical expertise, labor, and equipment to support site mobilization/setup; to survey, sample, and analyze all suspected hazardous materials; remove all hazardous materials from the BZDF; dismantle the interior and exterior of BZDF contaminated equipment as required to remove the hazardous material/waste; conduct final sampling and analysis to indicate the equipment/area is clear of hazardous materials/waste to acceptable levels; package all materials waste according to regulatory requirements; ship waste, debris, and recyclable materials to a disposal facility or recycler; and demobilize the site upon completion. ECBC completed these tasks, and all remediated BZDF areas and equipment were determined clear of hazardous materials/waste to acceptable levels by the Washington Demilitarization Company and ECBC prior to demobilization. All materials/waste removed from the BZDF were characterized, segregated, packaged, transported, and disposed of in accordance with approved procedures and regulatory requirements.
