ABANDONED LANDFILL SITE

Once used by the Town of Spindale, this abandoned site once received local and industrial waste. A mobile home park was situated on the landfill at the time of Shield’s evaluation. After investigations and negotiations, Shield partnered with regulatory officials and commenced action on a work plan.

Shield’s role was to obtain access agreements from property owners to enter the property to conduct sampling. The plan included conducting strategically placed exploratory test pits targeting specific layers within the landfill to sample for potential hazardous wastes. A sampling program of stream sediments and surface water in the adjacent stream as also implemented to ensure comprehensive due diligence. All work was performed in accordance with IHSB guidance for sampling protocol and QA/QC measures.
