Residual Waste Facility Closures — Done Right, Done Responsibly

Closing a residual waste facility — whether a coal combustion residual (CCR) impoundment, industrial lagoon, or ash disposal site — is one of the most technically demanding and environmentally sensitive projects in the heavy construction industry. The regulatory requirements are strict. The environmental consequences of cutting corners are serious. And the reputational stakes for facility owners are high.

CCU Coal & Construction has direct, hands-on experience with large-scale residual waste facility closures, including coal combustion residual removal and structural fill projects. We bring the technical knowledge, the heavy equipment capacity, and the environmental commitment to execute these projects safely, compliantly, and on schedule.

CCU has completed major coal combustion residual removal and closure projects, including the Conesville Industrial Park CCR Removal — a complex, high-profile project that required precise earthwork, strict environmental controls, and close coordination with regulators and facility owners. The Conesville Industrial Park CCR Removal will safely handle and dispose of 10 million yards of CCR material.

Residual waste facility closures are governed by EPA regulations, state permits, and facility-specific closure plans. CCU’s team is experienced navigating this regulatory landscape, maintaining required documentation, and working constructively with oversight agencies throughout project execution.

Stormwater management, dust control, liner protection, and material handling protocols aren’t afterthoughts on a CCU project — they’re built into our site management from day one. We protect the surrounding environment as rigorously as we protect our workers.

CCR removal and facility closure projects often involve moving significant volumes of material to permitted disposal or beneficial use destinations. CCU’s fleet and logistics capability are built for that kind of high-volume, material-sensitive work.
