Complex J&L Property Remediation Project Moves Forward
Stone staff and EcoVac Services inject a biosolvent and surfactant blend under hydraulic control to dislodge the co-mingled NAPL. The resulting multiphase solution is treated on-site before discharging to the Town of Springfield sewer.
Stone has kicked off the next phases of remediation at the former Jones & Lamson facility in Springfield, Vermont.
Two areas of a concern will be the focus of remedial work for the next two months: Pilot testing for solvent source removal using soil vapor extraction, and in situ remediation of a PCB-contaminated #6 fuel oil NAPL, that threatens the adjacent Black River.
The Jones & Lamson property is a technically challenging site with a long industrial history and complex environmental conditions that require innovative approaches to investigation and cleanup. We have worked closely with project partners – the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, US Environmental Protection Agency, the Springfield Regional Development Corporation, and Mount Ascutney Regional Commission – to develop solutions that leverage high resolution site characterization, comprehensive data analysis, and adaptive remediation technologies to address these challenges efficiently and effectively.
We are excited to see field activities moving forward and proud to contribute to a project that supports both environmental restoration and the future revitalization of this critical Springfield property. The work ahead reflects the power of innovation, persistence, and collaboration in tackling the most complex brownfield sites.
