Jacobs completed in-situ thermal treatment in Area 1 of the Velsicol Superfund Site in November, removing nearly 60,000 pounds of contaminants from the one-acre treatment zone in St. Louis, Michigan. Due to this successful delivery which included removing chlorinated solvents, specialty chemicals, oils and petroleum products by heating both the soil and groundwater within the zone to 212 Fahrenheit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently awarded the company a $25 million follow-on project to install subsurface components and operate the thermal treatment system across the three acres of Area 2.
