The Planning Process |
|
|
Soil Solutions has developed methods to recover lead from the locations and conditions found here in the Northeast. The optimal conditions for recovering lead are based on having flat, wide open areas, with sandy soils and in dry climates. Since this is hardly the case in New England, Soil Solutions has developed a specific material handling processes.
Soil Solutions follows a step-by-step approach to lead recovery. We work with the club owners to complete the following process:
- We obtain background information and the range history.
- We will visit your club to survey and test the shot fall zones to assay the lead.
- Prepare a customized project plan to present to your Board of Directors.
- We coordinate with local and state stakeholders.
