Long-lasting contamination
Many PFAS break down very slowly and can remain in soil and water. Their persistence makes careful management of impacted materials important.

PFAS-impacted waste removal & disposal
Water, soil, and sludge. One coordinated path to an accepting destination.
EGM provides field recovery, transportation, and disposal coordination for qualifying PFAS-impacted materials across the Midwest. We review the waste profile and receiving requirements before a pickup is confirmed.

Understanding PFAS
Why PFAS waste needs a plan.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of chemicals used in industrial and consumer products. When they are present in waste, a coordinated plan connects removal with a suitable receiving facility.
Potential health concerns
Exposure to some PFAS has been linked to harmful health effects. The specific chemicals and exposure conditions matter when evaluating a site’s concerns.
A suitable receiving path
Recovered water, excavated soil, and removed sludge need an evaluated receiving path. EPA recommends options that minimize further PFAS releases based on site conditions.

From recovery to receiving
A disposal path starts with the waste profile.
PFAS-impacted waste can be difficult to place. EGM brings field crews, equipment, transportation planning, and access to a receiving destination together under one managed scope for qualifying projects. Our team reviews the material and the receiving facility’s requirements before scheduling removal.
Whether the work involves water recovery, soil excavation, or sludge cleanout, the material source, volume, analytical results, and other contaminants shape the plan. EGM coordinates delivery records as required for the approved waste stream.

Materials we handle
Built around the material and the site.
Our services connect recovery and removal with an approved receiving path. Each project is assessed individually.
PFAS-impacted water
Vacuum recovery, loading, and transportation planning for qualifying liquid waste, with receiving-facility requirements established before the load moves.
PFAS-impacted soil
Excavation support, controlled loading, hauling, and disposal coordination within a defined remediation scope.
PFAS-impacted sludge
Removal from tanks, pits, or other defined work areas using a recovery and transport plan appropriate to the material.
Delivery documentation
Coordination with the accepting facility and project records appropriate to the waste classification and agreed scope.
Before mobilization
Know the load. Confirm the destination.
Share what you know about the material. EGM will use the project details to evaluate a viable removal and receiving plan.

Project sequence
Clear steps from site to closeout.
Profile
Review the source, physical form, estimated volume, and available data.
Acceptance
Confirm that a receiving facility can accept the specific waste stream.
Removal
Plan the field work, equipment, containers, and transportation.
Delivery
Coordinate records for the shipment and receiving facility.
Midwest project coverage
PFAS waste removal in Nebraska, Iowa & the Midwest.
Based in Valley, Nebraska, EGM reviews PFAS-impacted water, soil, and sludge removal projects in Nebraska and Iowa, including the Omaha–Council Bluffs area. We also evaluate projects in Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Pickup location, waste characterization, and receiving-facility acceptance determine the available removal, hauling, and disposal plan.
HOW ACCEPTANCE WORKS
Every load gets reviewed.
Service availability depends on the waste profile, other contaminants, location, applicable state and transport requirements, and written acceptance by the receiving facility. PFAS presence alone does not determine every other waste classification or permit requirement.
- Material characterization
- Approved receiving path
- Transport planning
- Project documentation
Common questions
PFAS waste removal: common questions.
Can EGM handle PFAS-impacted water, soil, and sludge?
Yes. EGM evaluates projects involving these materials and coordinates removal and disposal for qualifying loads after the waste profile and receiving-facility acceptance are confirmed.
What affects PFAS waste removal and disposal cost?
The project scope depends on the material type and volume, available characterization data, site access, transportation distance, and receiving-facility requirements. Share those details with EGM for a project-specific review.
Do I need analytical results before arranging pickup?
The information required depends on the waste stream and receiving facility. Share any existing analytical results with your inquiry. EGM will identify additional waste-profile information needed before a pickup is confirmed.
Does EGM destroy PFAS?
EGM provides field recovery, transportation, and disposal coordination. The approved receiving facility determines the treatment or disposal method for the accepted waste.
What should I send to start?
Provide the pickup location, waste source and type, estimated volume, known co-contaminants, available analysis, and requested timeline. EGM will identify the next information needed to scope the work.
