Remediation Strategies WSP’s approach to implementing successful site remediation strategies hinges on our com mitment to develop an accurate conceptual site model (CSM) and integrate it with our understand ing of our client’s strategic business objectives. To achieve this, we thoroughly evaluate existing site data, establish key technical issues, identify data gaps, propose cost-effective investigations to fill those gaps, and evaluate both presumptive remedies and emerging technologies. We use a CSM development methodology that achieves an integrated evaluation of site geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, fate and trans port, and pathways and potential receptors, which ulti mately can be used to support risk-based cleanup alterna tives. Our team brings industry-leading expertise to in situ ground water remediation, vapor intrusion, and sediment assessment. We are known as a trusted partner of PRP groups seeking regulatory closure at sites across the country. WSP is often brought in when our client is looking for a better path to site closure. We have a reputation for effective regu latory negotiation, developing sound technical solutions with broad-based stakeholder acceptance and we have a proven record of gaining approval of risk-based remedies and suc cessfully demonstrating equivalent performance of less-costly remedial options.

Remediation is one of WSP’s premier services offered to our clients. WSP has been an industry leader in applying in novative remediation approaches for many years, utilizing proprietary technologies and the best available commercial technologies and collaborating with universities to test and evaluate innovative new technologies. Within the last three years, WSP has been at the forefront of PFAS remediation, pioneering the use of regenerable ion exchange resins (Pease AFB) and testing a new plasma destruction technology

developed by Clarkson University (and under testing in both SERDP and ESTCP). In addition, WSP has relationships with a number of small business remediation technology compa nies such as FRX-Inc. WSP teamed with FRX-Inc. three years ago to use fracturing of the subsurface at 180-200 feet below ground surface for the enhanced injection of amendments to treat chlorinated solvent hot spots. The depth of fracturing (180 200 feet) remains the deepest fracturing project for remediation purposes in North America.
