Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- LONG BEACH, Calif.— SCS Engineers (SCS) has been hired to remove an estimated 280 cubic yards of solid waste from the Gamerco Landfill.

The $60,000 contract will be done in two phases. Phase I entails pre-submittals, including preparation and submittal of a Site Specific Health and Safety Plan, and preparation and submittal of a clean closure work plan.

Phase II is the closure of the landfill.  Closure will first entail mobilization of equipment to the site, improvement of access to the southwestern corner of the site, and delineation of the excavation area. The next steps will be excavation and screening of solid waste, transportation of solid waste to a permitted landfill (including sampling and analysis of soil samples for contaminants), discovery and handling of suspected hazardous buried waste for future characterization, backfilling of void and demobilization of the site equipment.  The final step will be preparation and submittal of a final report.
