In 2003, a remediation project on the Black River Mill Pond in Bangor, Michigan, challenged us to solve problems we’d never faced before. Today, we look back on this project as the beginning of our environmental water treatment journey.
Brennan removed 25,000 cubic yards of PCBs- and chromium-impacted sediment and safely returned approximately 30 million gallons of clean water to the environment.
The Black River Mill Pond Remediation wasn’t easy. We solved problems in the field, adapted our approach, and learned how to 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. More importantly, the project laid the foundation for the environmental solutions we deliver today.
Restoring waterways takes more than removing contaminated sediment. It also means returning cleaner water to the environment and leaving the waterway better than we found it.
What started in Bangor grew with every project. Each new challenge expanded our experience, strengthened our environmental water treatment capabilities, and shaped the integrated approach to environmental remediation we consistently deliver today.
