ELLIS TAPPED TO ASSIST WITH $30 MILLION SCHOOL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT

Ellis was recently awarded design, testing and administrative duties for the removal of contaminated soils from a southern California school district.   

A portion of the school buildings at the site had been constructed on 20 vertical feet of unknown fill that had been deposited at the site more than 40 years ago.  Ellis first administered the asbestos removal and demolition of each building, whereupon they were demolished.  Now working on a cleared site, Ellis sampled the fill material prior to new construction.  Arsenic and other contaminants were discovered.  In cooperation with the state Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), excavation of contaminated soil is scheduled for December, 2009.
