Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR)

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.

Helping our utility clients navigate the changing regulatory landscape for Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) management.

GSI staff are leaders in engineering design, hydrogeological assessments, risk management, groundwater modeling, and regulatory compliance for our electric power utility clients. Our clients rely on us to understand nuances in technical and regulatory matters and identify and address environmental concerns associated with management of CCR. Our multi-disciplinary team provides insights into the technical risks and costs of CCR management and compliance, helping our clients establish sound strategies for effective assessment and monitoring, remedy selection, and long-term management of CCR.

GSI groundwater and modeling experts have developed groundwater flow and solute transport models to aid in remedy evaluation and remedy design with specific adherence to Federal CCR and State regulations. GSI toxicologists and statisticians have worked on CCR sites to develop appropriate risk-based screening/cleanup concentrations and monitoring programs that are protective of human health and the environment. GSI engineers have evaluated, designed, and implemented CCR unit remedy and closure options based on our strong understanding of the nature and extent of impacts, local geology and hydrogeology, geochemistry, and unit siting/construction requirements.

Key services:

  • Federal and state CCR rule compliance
  • Groundwater detection, assessment, and corrective action monitoring
  • Data management and visualization
  • Statistical evaluation, including assessment of background metals concentrations
  • Groundwater monitoring network spatial and frequency optimization
  • Evaluation of geochemistry and natural attenuation of metals
  • Groundwater flow and solute transport modeling
  • Alternative source demonstrations (ASD)
  • Assessment of corrective measures and remedy selection
  • Third party review of site-specific CCR compliance activities
  • Expert witness testimony

FEATURED PROJECTS

Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation

Texas

GSI is actively conducting semiannual groundwater detection and corrective action monitoring, as well as implementing groundwater remedies, at a Texas CCR site. This work also includes compliance reviews to ensure that Federal and new State of Texas requirements are met.

Third-Party Technical and Regulatory Review

Texas

GSI provided regulatory and technical review of a groundwater monitoring network developed for a CCR landfill at a different site in Texas. The review included statistical evaluations and recommendations for alternate sampling approaches to improve data quality and reliability, and to reduce false exceedances of regulatory threshold criteria.

Solidification of Coal Combustion Residue Sediment

Chemical Manufacturing Facility, Ohio

GSI conducted sampling and bench-scale studies to evaluate closure options for three CCR settlement ponds. The closure was completed by solidifying CCR sediment in-place and installing an engineered cover to prevent exposure to the CCR sediment and affected soils.
