Private Industry

ERS has also successfully completed a number of projects in the private sector. Some examples of the projects follow.

ERS assisted in the remediation of a minerals mining and processing facility in Southern NJ. The project consisted of excavation, loading and transportation of 3,000 tons monazite sands shipped as Radioactive LSA-1 Exclusive Use material from the NRC licensed facility to International Uranium Corp. (IUC) in Blanding, UT. The portion of the approximate 7,000-acre site-requiring cleanup was found to have titanium and zirconium as well as measurable quantities of natural thorium and uranium. Working with the client’s project team, ERS provided all equipment to properly excavate sands and place it into intermodal containers situated on ERS provided pin chassis’s and trucks. ERS personnel provided health physics on site and released equipment for transportation to ERS’s transload facility in Newark, NJ, approximately 60 miles north of the site en-route to the materials final destination at IUC.

In 2005, ERS was contracted to transport Class 7 radioactive material from a processing facility located in Eastern Pennsylvania. The facility, located on nearly 200 acres, manufactured tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb) through the processing of raw ore. The final products consisted of metal powder, wire or sheet products used in the electronics and medical industries. ERS provided the necessary logistical equipment, supplies and support to transport the contaminated material via intermodal on rail to our trans-load facility in Utah and subsequently via truck to the International Uranium Corporations White Mesa Mill processing plant.
