Peoria USDA Mixed Waste Disposal Project

Contracted by the US Army Field Support Command, Pangea characterized and removed a collection of legacy wastes from a USDA research facility in Peoria, Illinois.  The facility had been doing research since the 1940’s and had produced a variety of exotic chemical and biological products that were radiologically contaminated.

Pangea provided waste characterization services to determine proper classification and disposal requirements necessary for each of the wastes, which resulted in the RCRA treatment of less than half of the materials prior to disposal as radiological waste.  Minimizing the amount of treated waste substantially reduce client cost.

Brokerage services were performed and the waste was successfully delivered to the ultimate destination.
