  1. Missouri Department of Transportation STAKEHOLDER INTERACTION AT CLOSED SITES Weldon Spring Site Weldon Spring, Missouri Kevin Wideman Sr. Environmental Specialist

  2. INTRODUCTION • Weldon Spring is the site of a former chemical and radiological facility • This site included a manufacturing facility with disposal ponds on site • It also included a quarry that was used for disposal of waste • MoDOT has two highways, Routes D and Route 94 that traverse the area • MoDOT also has a maintenance lot next door to the disposal cell

  3. Weldon Spring Site

  4. Weldon Spring Chemical Plant

  5. The Site Today

  6. Weldon Spring Site Route D Culverts Disposal Cell MoDOT Maintenance Facility Route 94 Culvert Missouri River Quarry

  7. MoDOT Areas Affected

  8. Route 94 Culvert • Installed by the army under 40 feet of fill • Consists of corrugated metal that is rusting • Culvert is contaminated • Removal costs about $1 million • Fix and leave in place with future replacement when needed 60 inch X 225 feet

  9. Route 94 Immediate Repairs Culvert before repairs Culvert after repairs on 8/25/10

  10. Route 94 Future Needs • After collapsed end was cut away • Water had undercut the end • Culvert still intact but will need replacement or lined in the future

  11. Route 94 Culvert Downstream • Fill is washed away from around the culvert • This section broke away • Isn’t necessary for integrity of the highway • DOE’s discretion on what to do with it

  12. Route D Culverts • Installed by Army • Consists of corrugated metal that was rusting • Believed contamination is under the culverts • Removal and replacement to be done next year • Cooperative coordination between DOE and MoDOT to replace 2 - 60 inch X 82 feet

  13. Route D Culverts • MoDOT’s contractor will uncover the culverts • DOE contractor will remove along with any contaminated soil • MoDOT will supply fill material

  14. Working Together • Missouri is the “Show Me State” • We need to see to accept • Several Missouri state agencies were involved • MoDOT, DOC, DNR, DNR Parks • DNR is the central contact

  15. Central Contact • One central state contact • Everyone was kept informed • Easier to work with DOE and for DOE to work with the agencies • MoDOT concerned with protecting our employees and the public

  16. Open Comunicaton • MoDOT assigned one central contact within the department • Maintenance people were briefed • Design and construction to coordinate future efforts • DOE provided educational opportunities for employees

  17. Future Route D Improvements • Widen Route D next spring • Culvert replacement will be coordinated • Route D will be shut down for two days • MoDOT’s contractor will remove the overburden • DOE will remove the culverts and any contaminated soil • MoDOT will replace the fill and culverts and finish the project

  18. Future Route D Improvements • Disposal of the culverts will be determined • If they are not contaminated they will be recycled • DOE has offered to be present at the pre bid meeting to answer any questions from contractors

  19. Future Route 94 Improvements • Route 94 cannot be shut down • Shoulders are being added to Route 94 • Culvert replacement or repair will be coordinated with DOE • MoDOT will continue to work with DOE

  20. Interpretive Center • DOE’s interpretive center next door has been a great educational tool to educate MoDOT employees
