The environmental program at Robins AFB includes approximately 2,000 air emissions sources, over 160 above ground and 22 underground storage tanks, over 14 million gallons of petroleum-based fuels, oils and lubricants (POL), 4,000 tons per year (TPY) of hazardous materials consumed, and 1,400 TPY of hazardous wastes and 19,700 TPY of solid waste generated.
Robins Air Force Base, located in central Georgia, has goals of reducing the quantity of waste that is sent from the base to landfills, generating renewable energy on the base, and reducing environmental impacts of the base. Geosyntec was retained by the base to conduct a Feasibility Study (FS) to evaluate currently available waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies that could potentially be utilized and to recommend technology based on the types and quantities of wastes generated on the base and potential to achieve the goals of the base.
For two decades, Geosyntec has been working with Kinder Morgan's subsidiary, Southern LNG Company, LLC (SLNG) to provide engineering support and environmental permitting services for maintenance of Elba Island's liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and ship off-loading facility and on-island support infrastructure.
The LCP Chemicals Site is among the most complex CERCLA remediation projects in U.S. EPA Region 4. Past site operations included petroleum refining, electric power generation, and paint and chemical manufacturing which resulted in contamination of soil and groundwater. The site is located adjacent to an ecologically-sensitive estuarine marsh. Contaminants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mercury, chromium, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Geosyntec was retained to provide lead engineering services for a CERCLA removal action and a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS).
Robins Air Force Base [RAFB] was born during WWII as an Army Air Depot, and continues to supply parts for maintenance and repair of missile systems, aircraft, and avionics vital to US defense. Today it covers over 8400 acres with over 14 million square feet of facilities (including 3.8 million square feet of maintenance shops) and employs a workforce of nearly 20,000. In 1988, the RAFB Directorate of Environmental Management was established, with Pollution Prevention (P2) as one of the "Four Pillars" of its program. RAFB P2 efforts result in reduction of personal protective equipment, legal and medical liability, hazardous waste disposal, process time labor, tracking, storing & permitting reporting, and cost & production time.
One of RAFB's EM goals is to develop technology advances directed towards transforming depot maintenance activities to meet future challenges - such as minimization of pollution generating materials, reducing hazardous material dependency, enhancing total Ownership Cost risk levels, and others.
DeKalb County, Georgia, part of the urban core of metropolitan Atlanta, owns and operates the Seminole Road Landfill which has been accepting municipal solid waste since the 1970s. In accordance with Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) regulations, the County has been conducting groundwater, surface water, and methane monitoring at the landfill.
The Big Creek Park Wetlands Enhancement Project is a multi-disciplinary demonstration project designed by Geosyntec Consultants for the City of Roswell, Georgia, through a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The objectives of the project were to demonstrate innovative water quality and wetlands enhancement techniques through the use of stormwater best management practices and groundwater recharge - all within a public park setting which includes a network of trails for public use and outdoor classrooms.
During the summer and fall of 1998, stormwater runoff from a recently constructed retail site in Stone Mountain, Georgia resulted in the release of soil material from the site. The material ended up 0.1 miles downstream in a small cove area in Lake Lucerne. Lake Lucerne is a private lake held and managed by the Lake Lucerne Homeowners Association.
Robins Air Force Base (Base) in Warner Robins, Georgia sought storm water infrastructure master planning and retrofitting for its existing system. The Base was initially constructed in 1941 on dairy farm pastureland and extensive growth has now transformed it into the current largest major defense/industrial installation in Georgia. The majority of stormwater runoff from the 11-square mile Base is conveyed to a wetland system along the eastern perimeter of the Base which constitutes the floodplain of Ocmulgee River.
The Richland Creek Landfill is a large municipal solid waste landfill located in Buford, Georgia. Leachate collected from the landfill is discharged to the local water reclamation facility under a discharge permit. The permit established effluent limitations for certain parameters, most notably ammonia nitrogen and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The permit imposes surcharge limits for these constituents when there concentrations are over the permitted limits.
