Environmental services at manufacturing facility

Ongoing

Since 2006, Barr has provided a range of environmental services at a confidential manufacturing client’s Upper Midwest facility and in support of corporate environmental initiatives. At the client’s facility, Barr has helped develop a long-term remediation plan to voluntarily clean up historical contamination.  

Due to unique site challenges, including contamination in fine-grained soils beneath the active facility, Barr evaluated alternatives for innovative remedial solutions. Remedy design is underway with implementation to follow shortly thereafter.  

In addition to the remediation, Barr has completed groundwater monitoring and reporting, groundwater modeling services, geotechnical work, NPDES permitting assistance, liability estimating, vapor-intrusion evaluation, and water treatment system upgrades. Barr has also provided environmental permitting and compliance support, including NPDES permitting, wastewater treatment system design, and PFAS evaluations.
