nwrap the TOOLS to leapfrog past the evolving CCR regulations and provide all stakeholders, especially the Utilities, with three key strategies that can drive success.

Apply Pull–Through Method of Regulatory Approval
Adhere to the KISS Principle of Strategy
Prepare Yourself with the Right Tools

“You cannot solve this non-traditional coal ash basin closure problem with just a traditional approach.”

Do you have the RIGHT TOOLS to manage your strategy?

EnCAP-IT has been involved in dozens of CCR unit site-level analyses. They all had common challenges and concerns: not enough space to safely store all the coal ash being excavated. While traditional storage methods lend, somewhat, to solving this dilemma, they often come up short. In every one of these analyses, using our tools provided a far safer, better, and cheaper way in which to properly create excavated ash reuses and/or storage.

Call EnCAP-IT today to license these tools and build your
compliance strategy into the future.

Pull-Back Bi-Directional Hydrostatic Barrier

An eMSE berm (safeBERM®) can create a barrier that prevents intermittent, recurring, or sustained hydraulic connection between CCR basin and aquifer. It also can serve as a reuse for excavated coal ash not accounted for in original strategic closure plans.

Max Beneficiation Storage Facility

Using eMSE bunker style method (safeSTORAGE®) can maximize the long-term storage of excavated ash and extend the beneficiation processing facility’s lifespan well beyond the regulatory timeframe.

Strengthening a Sloped Structure

An eMSE berm (safeBERM®) can be used to strengthen an existing Berm, Basin, Levee, Embankment, or the Like by constructing an adjacent eMSE structure. It also can serve as a reuse for excavated coal ash not accounted for in original strategic closure plans.

Flood Control Prevention

An eMSE berm (safeBERM®) can protect facilities from river flooding caused by heavy rains. It also can serve as a reuse for excavated coal ash not accounted for in original strategic closure plans.

Ash Basin Retrofit

Using eMSE bunker style method (safeSTORAGE®) to convert on-site ash basin into a landfill will minimize double handling, reduce environmental exposure and could reduce the footprint acres 25 to 35% (VertiCell™).

Landfill Capacity Expansion

On-Site or off-site landfill expansion with an eMSE berm (safeBERM®) to increase capacity utilizing excavated coal ash as construction backfill. It also can serve as a reuse for excavated coal ash not accounted for in original strategic closure plans.
