Site Cleanup

Glacier’s team of trained earthwork professionals and laborers have completed site cleanup projects ranging from 10 cubic yards inside a dry cleaning business to projects including mass excavation of over 90,000 cubic yards at a former bus maintenance facility. At the core of this work is our use of modern, well maintained equipment operated by highly experienced heavy equipment operators.
 
Dig and Haul  Off-site transportation and landfill disposal of petroleum contaminated soil (PCS) has become a preferred site cleanup method due to cost and expediency. Excavated material is transported to Subtitle D landfills for beneficial reuse.  Clean soil is returned to the site and used as backfill.

Federal regulations require landfill operators to place soil or other Alternate Daily Cover (ADC)material over refuse at the end of each day to control vectors, fire, odor, blowing litter, and scavenging. The reuse of contaminated soil for this purpose is a permitted ADC which generates income for the landfill, eliminating or reducing the need and cost to import or mine cover soil. ​
