University of Arkansas, Gregg Remediation Site

Anecdotal accounts by retired members of the university staff indicated that chemical containers were buried in shallow trenches at the site in the late 1960s. The quantity and contents of the chemical containers were unknown.

Specific responsibilities of FTN during the project included:
Coordinating with the US Geological Survey to conduct a magnetometer survey, electromagnetic survey, and resistivity profiling to delineate locations of trenches.
Soil and groundwater sampling to identify environmental impacts, and identification of remedial options.
Assisted the UA in negotiating a Consent Administrative Order with the ADEQ for voluntary cleanup.
