Two Crews Work to Remove Waste Material from Pit 2. The Waste Pits Remedial Action Project (WPRAP) involves the remediation of six waste pits, the Burn Pit, the Clearwell, miscellaneous structures, facilities, and soil. More than 1 million tons of contaminated materials are associated with the cleanup project. The Shaw Group, formerly IT Corporation, constructed the remediation facilities for the project, which include a Material Handling Building, where excavated wastes from the pit area will be sorted, blended and treated, Gas Control System/ Water Treatment System (GCS/WTS) Building, and the Railcar Loadout Building, where material is loaded into railcars for shipment to Envirocare of Utah.
