Ash Pond Closures

ASH PROCESSING

Utter is expert at processing the never-ending stream of fly-ash waste produced by coal-fired power plants. Our technical personnel oversee 
and manage all aspects of the effluent stream, 
from input of fresh slurry-sludge to fully  de-watered material tightly compacted in expansive landfills.
 
Utter processing teams:
  • Remove ash solids from dewater ponds
  • Load and transport waster materials to land-fill sites
  • Grade and compact ash and other fill waste
EQUIPPED FOR DEWATERING
Utter technicians utilize long-standing methods and new advances in achieving efficient dewatering of pond effluent. In addition to dewatering achieved by natural settling of solids, our operations include:
  • Dredging from outlet ponds to secondary ponds
  • Enveloping slurries in giant "weep" bags to speed dewatering
  • Stabilization and disposal of dewatered material
