Remediation and Restoration, Range 25, Fort Dix, New Jersey

Brice was selected from a worldwide pool of candidates to conduct a treatability study using Brice-developed innovative technology for soil washing, and then perform remediation at Fort Dix. The study was designed to determine whether our technology would be successful in treating lead impacted soils from Range 25 at Fort Dix.

Treatability study results showed that the Brice technology would be successful at the site. We subsequently performed excavation, treatment, and range restoration to allow Fort Dix to resume live fire training, achieving the following:

• Reduced lead concentration in the impact berm soils at SAFR 25 to a maximum total soil lead concentration of 400 mg/kg, which met the residential soil cleanup criteria of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
• Stabilized impact berm soils that failed to meet residential soil cleanup criteria after particulate lead removal, so that the leachable lead content was no greater than 5 mg/L (required) as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (EPA Method 1311)
• Completed the field work approximately two weeks ahead of schedule, and within the approved budget
