Brice investigated potential solutions for the treatment of PFAS contamination in groundwater from past AFFF use at Beale AFB, California and Hill AFB, Utah. We mobilized a team of scientists and engineers to conduct pilot/treatability studies at both sites to determine the most reasonable, feasible, and practicable method to treat PFAS. We reviewed planning documents Read More

Moses Lake Wellfield Contamination Superfund Site, RARs
Brice prepared two remedial action reports (RARs) to document the remedial action completed by another contractor at the Moses Lake Wellfield Contamination Superfund Site. Remedial Action Objectives (ROAs) included preventing unacceptable risk to human health and ecological receptors from exposure to soil and debris above action levels, preventing migration of hazardous chemical contaminants through the Read More
Solid Waste Removal, Wake Island and Shemya Island
The 611th Civil Engineer Squadron (611th CES) of the US Air Force undertook a significant environmental preservation mission on Wake Island Airfield (WIA) in 2014, targeting legacy solid waste accumulated since World War II. This waste posed a threat to the pristine marine environment of WIA, designated as a Pacific Remote Island Marine National Monument Read More
Vapor Intrusion Study | Data Gap Investigation, Former Air Force Plant, Colorado
Brice was awarded a contract to perform a vapor intrusion (VI) study at a former U.S. Air Force plant consisting of six operable units. The primary contaminants of concern (COCs) associated with the PJKS groundwater solid waste management units (SWMUs) is trichlorethylene (TCE), along with the intermediate products formed by the degradation of TCE. The Read More
Cannon AFB IRP North Playa PFAS Response Action, New Mexico
Brice was awarded a contract to perform a pre-design investigation, pilot study, and engineering evaluation and cost analysis as part of a response action for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in groundwater resulting from past aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) use and other potential releases at Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB) in New Mexico. For Read More
Bottled Water Delivery | Sampling of Private Drinking Water Wells Off‐Base at Shaw AFB, SC
Brice is providing bottled water delivery services to residents and businesses where drinking water impacted by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) released by Department of Defense (DoD) activities is at concentrations exceeding U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA) levels. PFAS were compounds in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), which Shaw AFB used in Read More
HTRW Remedial Action, Fort Babcock FUDS, Alaska
Brice is performing a Hazardous, Toxic, or Radioactive Waste (HTRW) remedial action (RA) at the remote Fort Babcock Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). The RA includes planning, fieldwork, and reporting associated with excavation, transportation, and offsite disposal of PCB- and petroleum-contaminated soil with the goals of achieving site closure without institutional controls with regard to Read More
Operations & Maintenance, Rees Training Center, Umatilla, OR
Brice is performing operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the Groundwater Extraction Treatment System (GETS) to ensure the treatment system functions as designed and removes energetic contaminant mass from site groundwater at the Rees Training Center (former Camp Umatilla). The GETS operates at ~1,400 gallons per minute and uses two sets of 20K-lbs. granular activated Read More
Phase I PFAS Remedial Investigations, Clear SFS | Wake Island
Brice is performing CERCLA PFAS RIs at five sites at Clear SFS, AK and four sites at WIA. The project objective is to fully delineate the nature and extent of PFAS impacts in all media from past AFFF releases, update the conceptual site model (CSM), and collect sufficient data for future human health risk assessments. During Read More
CERCLA Response Action for PFAS, Fort Yukon LRRS, Alaska
Brice is conducting a response action at the former Fire Training Area (FTA) at Fort Yukon (FYU) Long Range Radar Site (LRRS) in accordance with the U.S. EPA document Guidance for Performing Preliminary Assessments Under CERCLA. The Preliminary Assessment (PA) evaluated the potential of an environmental release of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) at the FYU Read More
