    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Philadelphia District, on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has developed a remediation plan for the Franklin Slag site in Philadelphia, PA. This site contains an estimated 70,000 cubic yards of hazardous recycling slag, primarily contaminated with lead and other harmful metals. Secured by a chain link fence and capped with a HDPE liner, the project will involve several key activities: relocating parts of the slag stockpile, treating the slag with stabilization agents to reduce leachability, and conducting laboratory analyses to confirm waste characterization as non-hazardous. Additional work includes excavating contaminated soils, transporting treated materials to a licensed landfill, and removal of concrete foundations. The plan further outlines dust and erosion control, air quality monitoring, traffic control measures, and groundwater sampling. The overall aim is to restore the site while ensuring compliance with environmental safety regulations. This endeavor demonstrates a coordinated federal effort to mitigate hazardous waste and protect community health and safety.
