Brice, as managing partner of Brice-AECOM JV1, is completing a supplemental Remedial Investigation (RI)/data gap investigation to delineate the nature and extent of PFAS at Restoration Site FT008, a former fire training pit, at Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) installation. At FT008, PFAS is comingled with VOC contamination in soil. The selected remedy for Read More
Environmental
Fairchild AFB IDEA and White Bluff EA and MSP, WA
Through our joint venture, Brice-AECOM JV1, we prepared an Installation Development Environmental Assessment (IDEA) to analyze the impacts of 13 proposed development projects in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations. The directive was to investigate, study, analyze, consult, document, and provide public interface support addressing impacts of the proposed projects at Fairchild Air Read More
EE/CA and Action Memorandum, Fairchild AFB and City of Airway Heights
Brice through its joint venture (JV), Brice-AECOM JV1, is completing a hydrogeologic study, engineering evaluation/cost analysis (EE/CA), and an action memorandum (AM) for a CERCLA non-time critical removal action (NTCRA) for PFOS and PFOA in the City of Airway Heights (COAH) drinking water on behalf of the Fairchild AFB. Site investigations at FAFB detected PFOS/PFOA Read More
PFAS Sampling and Characterization of F-35 Soil Stockpiles, Eielson AFB
Brice self-performed characterization sampling of at least 28 soil stockpiles ranging in size from 10 cy to over 26,000 cy at Eielson AFB, Alaska. The soil stockpiles were generated during the F-35A Beddown Program, which required the removal of contaminated and non-contaminated soil to allow for new construction. The resulting soils were segregated and stockpiled Read More
Infrastructure Removal & Release Investigation, Bethel, Alaska
Brice performed a release investigation, remedial action, and infrastructure removal at 10 sites for the Federal Aviation Administration in Bethel, Alaska. Three sites were located in the City of Bethel, and seven sites were located two miles southeast of the city across the Kuskokwim Airport near the former Bethel Airport. The project objectives were to Read More
Remedial Investigation and Landfarming, Gulkana, Alaska
Brice performed a remedial investigation (RI) and remedial action (RA) at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Gulkana Station at the Gulkana Airport in Alaska. The primary contaminant sources and suspected release mechanisms are leaks and spills of petroleum hydrocarbons from fuel storage and distribution systems (i.e. tanks and piping) and from drums. Brice implemented land Read More
Remediation on Wake Island Airfield, Wake Island Atoll
Brice performed a remedial action at Sites OT013 (Scrap Metal Pile No. 2 and Burn Area) and ZZ011 (Burn Area No. 2) on Wake Island Airfield, Wake Island Atoll. The project objectives included removal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-contaminated soil at OT013, excavation of dioxin-contaminated soil at ZZ011, confirmation soil sampling, and transport and disposal of Read More
Remediation Study and Product Bail-Down Testing, Cold Bay, Alaska
Brice performed a pilot study to evaluate in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) as a remedial alternative and product bail-down testing at a former FAA Station in Cold Bay. Once the pilot study test area layout was staked, we collected pre-treatment soil samples to determine existing petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations. Soil cores were screened using a photoionization detector Read More
Bench-Scale Pilot Study and Feasibility Study, Puntilla Lake, Alaska
At Puntilla Lake, Brice performed a bench-scale pilot study to evaluate in-situ smoldering, known as Self-Sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR) and ISCO as remedial alternatives; results were presented in a feasibility study for this petroleum-contaminated site. We advanced test pits using an excavator in a heavily impacted area beneath former fuel tanks to collect Read More
Remedial Action and Demolition, Sisters Island, Alaska
Brice performed demolition, debris removal, and a removal action at a Former Dump Area on Sisters Island, Alaska. We first removed approximately 160 cubic yards (cy) of inert debris to 7 feet bgs and included liner, plastic, tires, household trash, metal debris, cable, glass, a large boat anchor, a welder, a compressor, a 500-gallon empty Read More
