GSI prepared a RCRA hazardous waste permit renewal application for a commercial treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF), which included major revisions to and simplification of the facility’s personnel training, security, contingency, emergency response, and waste analysis plans. GSI prepared engineering reports for individual hazardous waste tanks and container storage areas in accordance with federal regulations, including analysis and review of historical design information and drawings, construction and certification reports, and maintenance records. Prepared detailed closure costs, geology reports, and facility siting criteria requirements to meet regulatory requirements.
GSI has prepared the original permit application and two subsequent permit renewal applications for a petrochemical manufacturing facility. This has included preparation of and revisions to the waste analysis plan and integrated contingency plan, as well as engineering reports for industrial boilers, container storage areas, tanks, surface impoundments, landfills, and miscellaneous units. GSI has also prepared detailed geology and facility siting criteria reports for the facility, and prepared detailed closure and post-closure cost estimates and a Compliance Plan. Additionally, GSI has implemented and managed the groundwater monitoring programs associated with post-closure, detection, and compliance monitoring.
