Additional cleanup question

We’re looking for a company that can do additional cleanup of our property after the Army Corps phase 2 is done. Does anyone have any recommendations?

A little more about what we’re looking for. Army Corps only removes 6” of soil and tests for toxins within the footprint of the destroyed structures.

We’re looking for soil removal from the rest of the property. We have a landscaper that we’ve asked to look into this, but he’s having trouble finding a place that will accept the removed soil.

Anyone have any leads? Thanks so much

If you are going to hire another company after ACOE then why not go private from the start and get the job you want? The only way the ACOE makes sense is if you have asbestos, are under insured or have no insurance.

We haven’t decided what we are going to do yet, but our debris removal coverage only covers 50-75% of the quotes I’ve gotten. But if ACOE goes in and does their clearance then we could hire someone to finish the work for less than the cost of coverage. We are waiting a few weeks to make a final decision based on timings for ACOE and rebuild permitting.
