asanEngineeringFirminTexas,OklahomaandLouisiana. Wehave specializedexperience
in designing remediation systems for a wide range of soil and groundwater contaminants
including: crude oil, gas condensate, refined petroleum products, and metals. Each
remediation system design is tailored to meet the specific requirements and conditions of
the individual site. Talon/LPE has experience utilizing various remediation methods such
as dual-phase extraction, soil-vapor extraction, air-sparging, bioremediation, bioventing,
landfarming, in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), surfactant flushing, subsurface injections
and soil shredding. With the assistance of our construction group, we can provide all
construction related services necessary to implement the remediation design.

ENVIRONMENTAL DRILLING
10. Talon/LPEofferson-sitesoilshreddingservicesforthetreatmentofsoilsimpactedbyhydrocarbons
and other compounds. Impacted soils are first excavated and stockpiled at the subject site either
by Talon/LPE or the client’s own excavation crew. Talon/LPE personnel assess the impacted
soil to determine contaminant concentrations and which, if any, amendments are necessary for
the remediation process. A processing area is identified with the client based on the amount
of soil to be processed, the type of equipment required and any site limitations or landowner
considerations.
Impacted soils are fed through the shredder with a loader or backhoe. As treated material exits
the equipment, it forms 8’ - 12’ tall stockpiles. The shredder is pulled along the processing area
by a truck to create loosely formed elongate piles. Whenever space allows, Talon/LPE prefers
to leave these piles undisturbed while the remediation compounds continue to react with the
contaminants. The loosely piled material allows for better volatilization and off-gassing during the
remediation process.
SOIL SHREDDING
11. Duringtheshreddingprocess,Talon/LPEpersonnelwillmonitortheeffectivenessofthetreatment
by analyzing the processed material with various field testing methods. Additionally, samples will
becollectedforlaboratoryanalysistoensurethatremediationgoalsand/orregulatoryremediation
standards are achieved.
Once laboratory analysis verifies that contaminants have been reduced to below regulatory
action levels, the material can be returned to the excavation and used as backfill. Depending
on the scope and scale of your project, remediation of your impacted soils can be completed
within a matter of days.
Soil Shredding
12. BENEFITS & LIMITATIONS
Soil Shredding
While soil shredding is an excellent tool in our remediation toolbox, it is not the only tool
and can be less effective in specific conditions. Soil type and soil chemistry need to
be considered when selecting any remediation strategy. Also, high moisture content
in certain soil types may reduce the effectiveness of the shredding process. There are
significant benefits to soil shredding versus traditional dig and haul or in-situ treatment of
impacted soils, as soil shredding eliminates the following:
• The expense of transporting soil to an offsite disposal facility;
• The expense of the disposal facility;
• The liability of transporting and disposing of contaminated material;
• The expense of importing fill material;
• Landowner concerns of importing invasive plant species with fill material;
• The need for long-term monitoring associated with in-situ treatment methods.
