SEDIMENT HANDLING FOR OFFSITE DISPOSAl
Non-hazardous sediment not meeting our permit and needing off-site disposal can be solidified to meet landfill criteria for dryness and hardness. Whether in-barge at the dock or in a containment area on the terminal, cement or other binders injected and mixed into mud creates a soil-cement.

Contact UsSand and Gravel Reserves in Charles City County, Virginia
Situated in the southeastern corner of the county, Weanack Land's core was developed through mining operations. These operations delivered extracted up to 1.7 million tons of sand and gravel annually. These materials were processed, loaded onto barges, and transported downriver to the Hampton Roads market and beyond for three decades. Today, Weanack retains the capability to load large volumes of dry bulk materials onto barges. It has also added the capacity to unload substantial volumes of dry bulk materials, as demonstrated in recent projects involving mineral sands and wood pellets. Ideally located, Weanack sits immediately adjacent to a property boasting a 5-million-ton sand and gravel reserve. Furthermore, it lies within a 2-mile radius of an additional 9 million tons of reserves spread across three neighboring properties. Numerous other reserves have also been identified within a short driving distance within the county.
