Project:  Project: Pepsi Bottling Group

Client:  CEMS Environmental

Summary:  This project consisted of the removal and closure of two (2) 12,000 gallon diesel fuel underground storage tanks (UST's) located at the Pepsi Bottling Group Plant in Nashville Tennessee. Residual fluids were removed from each UST through the use of a vacuum tanker and recycled via fuel blending at Triple M Landfarms located in Franklin Kentucky.

Each UST atmosphere was de-gassed through the use of eductor type air movers. The amount of backfill initially removed from the excavation totaled 579 cubic yards. Groundwater was not encountered within the tank pit during closure activities. Due their fiberglass construction, each UST was disposed as a non-hazardous waste at a Class I Landfill. After the completion of two (2) air rotary borings to 70 feet below grade, the project received a case closure letter from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Underground Storage Tanks (DUST).
