Practical Guidelines for Roadspreading of Exploration & Production (E&P) Wastes

TRRP Training: 2022 Program

presented by: GSI Environmetal Inc.

Texas Risk Reduction Program regulations (TRRP; 30 TAC 350) establish consistent risk-based protocols for assessment and response to soil, groundwater, or surface water impacts associated with environmental releases of regulated wastes or substances.

Presented by GSI Environmental Inc., this popular and informative training series is a must for professionals who need a working understanding of TRRP and those needing to stay up-to-date with the latest TCEQ TRRP guidance and policies.

TRRP Training Course (2 Days): Provides an overview of the TRRP framework and step-by-step training on property assessment and response action procedures established under the TRRP rule

Attendees will become acquainted with rules, key guidance and policies covering affected property assessments, protective concentration levels, and response actions. The course material presents strategies for efficient project management in compliance with TRRP and explains the various report forms adopted by TCEQ.

Abstract

Download Paper

In order to facilitate appropriate recycling and reuse of non-hazardous oilfield waste materials such as oil-affected soils, risk-based guidelines have been developed for “roadspreading” of such materials for construction or repair of oilfield lease roads and other low-use earthen roads. Roadspreading is a widely accepted and adopted environmental practice that offers important benefits in terms of waste minimization, reduced dust emissions, and improved road maintenance. However, to date, practical
guidelines have not been available for design and implementation of roadspreading projects in a manner that achieves waste reduction objectives, while ensuring protection of public health and the environment. This paper reviews the use of roadspreading in the U.S. and other countries, and summarizes the applicable regulatory and technical criteria for roadspreading projects, including consideration of human safety and chemical exposure, control of potential runoff and leaching, dust control, and roadbase compaction and bearing strength. A step-by-step approach is provided for assessment, design, and implementation of roadspreading projects, addressing key environmental and engineering design considerations, including waste characterization testing, site preparation, and construction specifications.
