Projects

 

The Humboldt Burn Dump was a collection of adjacent public and private historical burn dump sites totaling about 157 acres in Chico. The site has been the subject of extensive investigations and controversy. Cleanup of the site had been stalled since 1992 by regulatory agencies and environmental groups. VESTRA was retained by one of the private property owners to "get the project done." VESTRA was able to complete permitting, all design, and the first phase of remediation in less than 6 months. VESTRA coordinated permitting with state and federal agencies, including CDFG, ACOE, DTSC, RWQCB, and the USFWS. Permits needed to implement the remediation plan included Waste Discharge Requirements/NPDES, 404 Water Quality, Section 7 (ESA), Clean Water Act 401, CDFG 1603 permit, and air permitting with the Butte County Air Quality Management District. Design plans included the Remedial Action Plan, Remedial Design Implementation Plan, Draft EIR, and Final EIR.
