Project:  Project: Metro Nashville Thermal Plant

Client:  Barge Waggoner Sumner and Cannon Engineers

Summary:  This project consisted of the removal and closure of four (4) 40,000 gallon diesel fuel underground storage tanks (UST's) located at the Metro Nashville Thermal Plant. Residual fluids were removed from each UST through the use of a vacuum tanker.

Each UST atmosphere was de-gassed through the use of eductor type air movers. The amount of backfill initially removed from the excavation totaled 1,100 cubic yards. Approximately 39,300 gallons of groundwater were recovered and disposed of during closure activities. Each UST was utilized as recycling material. The project received a case closure letter from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Solid Waste Management (DSWM).
