In Case of Emergency
Leviathan Mine Water Treatment Plant
Syblon Reid constructed a new water treatment plant at Leviathan Mine in Alpine County, California, for the treatment of acid mine drainage for Atlantic Richfield Corporation (AMD). The site is listed by the EPA as a superfund site. The mine is located on the eastern slope of the Sierra Mountains at an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet. The work consisted of the following components: raw water conveyance and pond 4 site works, construction of high density sludge (HDS) treatment plant, electrical controls, instrumentation installation for the HDS plant, and conveyance construction for the diesel generator fuel supply system.
The project was very challenging due to scheduling, access, and safety concerns. The project was completed on time and on budget with no lost time or accident or first aid cases.
