Sand County Environmental, Inc., is a nationally-recognized environmental engineering firm providing a full array of phytoremediation and traditional remediation solutions to private and public service sectors. Our work is most often conducted for owners of landfills, lenders, retail and wholesale agricultural chemical storage facilities, local and state governments, and other property owners where soil, groundwater, or stormwater management issues are of concern.
Sand County Environmental recently oversaw the recompaction of a clay liner for four, 1,000,000-gallon liquid fertilizer tanks at an agricultural chemical facility in central Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) requires clay liners, such as this one, to be reworked and recompacted once every 15 years to ensure that the liner maintains uniformity and integrity. As such Sand County Environmental collected several soil samples for geologic analysis to ensure that the clay liner met the stringent specifications that DATCP puts forward. In addition, Sand County Environmental oversaw the recompaction process and soil compaction testing to ensure that the liner was meeting compaction requirements throughout the course of the project. The liner passed with flying colors, and this particular facility should be squared away for the next 15 years!
A group of professionals from Sand County Environmental recently travelled to Milwaukee to take a tour of the Brewery District with Dennis Stapleton, a retired architect who was integral in the redevelopment of the district. The Brewery District is a 21-acre redevelopment of the historic, previously abandoned Pabst Brewing Company campus located in downtown Milwaukee. This redevelopment was conducted with sustainable solutions to construction waste, stormwater management, remediation, and historic structure preservation at the forefront. This redevelopment was designed to achieve platinum LEED certification and is a shining star in the realm of sustainable, urban development. Not only did Sand County Environmental personnel learn tons of valuable information regarding green stormwater solutions and sustainable urban development, the project provided our staff with inspiration moving forward.
