soil remediation

Landfarming, also known as land treatment or land application, is an above-ground remediation technology for soils that reduce concentrations of petroleum constituents through biodegradation. Our Landfarming techniques stimulate aerobic microbial activity within the soils through aeration and/or the addition of minerals, nutrients, and moisture.

Iwm's soil remediation process

RCRA exempt contaminated soils are trucked directly to the IWM facility
Soils are subjected to a paint filter test to determine moisture content
Biodegrading (hydrocarbon scavenging) organisms are introduced
The soil is worked for approximately 45 days until 99.9% of hydrocarbons are removed and State of Utah standards are met or surpassed
The soil is removed from from the land farm and employed on IWM’s 90-acre facility where it is used for land contours (berms, etc.) or fill material

our quality assurance practices

We employ industry best practices to reduce air emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
IWM’s Landfarm has been located on a geologically unique site with impermeable bedrock surrounded by a clay core berm to insure all soil decontamination and Landfarming activities and products remain safe within in the farm and out of the environment
We are working towards the fastest remediation times in the entire industry
IWM’s Landfarm is fully certified and permitted in compliance with all state and federal regulations
Our facility can be easily accessed right off State Highway 87 (7 miles north of Duchesne toward Altamont)
