Remediation | Phillips

We don't bury contamination. We eliminate it.

Contaminated sites don't clean themselves. Contractors who defer the problem instead of solving it leave clients exposed to regulatory enforcement, compounding liability, and communities that never fully recover.

Phillips Environmental brings decades of heavy civil experience to environmental remediation. We've closed CCR ponds, executed large-scale CERCLA removals, stabilized hazardous material, and moved millions of cubic yards of impacted soil across the country. We do it with the financial strength, technical expertise, and relentless commitment of a Phillips company.

We clean up what's beneath the surface so industries, communities, and regulators can move forward with confidence.

For responsible parties

The ones who can't afford to get it wrong.
We serve industrial owners facing regulatory enforcement and liability exposure. Federal and state agencies executing cleanups that require accountability. Utilities managing legacy impoundments. Companies inheriting contamination from acquisitions. What they all share: the stakes are high, timelines are real, and the cost of choosing the wrong contractor or watching one walk away mid-project is measured in dollars, years, and regulatory standing.

Excavation-to-Elimination Solutions

When contamination has sat for decades in soil, groundwater, and sediment, it doesn't wait for a convenient time. Neither do we.

CCR Excavation & Pond Closure

Closing impoundments the right way.
From initial assessment through final regulatory closeout, we execute coal combustion residual (CCR) pond closures with the heavy civil capacity to move millions of cubic yards and the environmental expertise to do it right. Our teams manage excavation, staging, transport, and final placement with rigorous documentation and full regulatory compliance at every stage.

CERCLA Emergency & Planned Removals

Rapid response when contamination can't wait.
When hazardous contamination requires immediate action or long-planned removal, we mobilize the resources to execute. From emergency removals under EPA oversight to large-scale planned actions at Superfund sites, our teams bring the equipment, protocols, and documentation required to meet regulatory standards and protect human health.

Hazardous Material Stabilization & Disposal

Containing and eliminating what others won't touch.
We handle the full spectrum of hazardous material management: stabilization, high-hazard soil removal, contaminated sediment handling, and compliant disposal. Our in-house expertise and self-perform model eliminate the coordination failures that expose clients to liability and schedule risk.

Containment & Landfill Construction

Engineering barriers that hold.
When contamination must be contained rather than removed, we build the systems that last. Our teams design and construct engineered landfills, caps, cutoff walls, and liner systems, applying decades of civil construction precision to ensure long-term containment integrity and regulatory compliance.

Large-Scale Sediment Dredging

Moving what's settled at the bottom.
Contaminated sediment in ponds, waterways, and impoundments requires specialized capability and environmental discipline. We execute large-scale dredging operations with the equipment and expertise to remove, dewater, and manage contaminated material while minimizing impact on surrounding ecosystems and meeting strict environmental standards.

In Situ Stabilization (ISS) & Soil Treatment

Treating contamination where it lives.
For sites where excavation isn't feasible, our in situ stabilization and soil treatment capabilities reduce the mobility and toxicity of contaminants in place. We apply proven treatment methodologies backed by rigorous testing to achieve regulatory closure without the cost and disruption of full-scale excavation.
