A new data center located in Mesa, Arizona, needed assistance in complying with air permitting requirements for the Maricopa County Air Quality Department. They looked to Geosyntec for support in obtaining the required air operating permit application and for continued compliance following permit issuance.
A data center client in Arizona wanted to address operational challenges with their onsite cooling towers and explore options for reducing water consumption at the facility to increase sustainability and satisfy increased water demand as a result of facility expansion.
The project involved the assessment and rapid remediation of a former electrical component and aerospace manufacturing site where previous investigations had identified light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) and dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) near a nest of 9 former underground storage tanks. The project included site characterization activities to refine the site conceptual model for the purpose of completing a remediation Feasibility Study and preparing a Remedial Action Plan. Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) tooling were used to rapidly build a high density dataset for delineating the nature and extent of the plume in preparation for developing and implementing the Corrective Action Plan. The remedial strategy for the site incorporated a combined remedies approach to rapidly remediate impacts to soil, soil vapor, and groundwater at the site within and aggressive schedule to facilitate redevelopment of the property.
