Excavated soil and sediment




             Step 1
Surrounding soils will be sampled and tested
to ensure all contaminated material has been excavated




     Excavated soil and sediment




                      Step 2
Excavated
70 meters    Soil and
            Sediment

            90 - 105 meters



               Step 3
Insulation

Excavated
 Soil and
Sediment




  Step 4
Excavated soil and
   sediment are
completely enclosed
            Insulated Cap


          Excavated Soil
          and Sediment




              Step 5
Liquid and vapor/steam
              collection systems are
                     installed

                     Step 6
Heating begins. Liquid is
     captured and will be treated

                                 To treatment
                   Step 7
Steam is
      captured and
      will be treated
                                       To treatment

                 Step 10
Sustained heat
                    destroys the
                   dioxin chemical

                 Step 11
Water is added to begin cool down process

               Steam and water
                 are captured


               Insulated Cap


               Cool Down
Clean Soil                       Clean Soil

Clean Soil   Sustained       Clean Soil




               Step 13
Confirmation sampling
             will ensure soils are clean
