Environmental

Environmental degradation can be reversed or stopped through remediation. Kolb Grading brings decades of experience cleaning up contaminated sites, rehabilitating watersheds, and building wetlands: self-performing the earthwork that returns damaged land to a healthy, productive state.

Restoring damaged ground

Overview

Deep experience restoring and protecting the environment

Kolb Grading’s commitment to a clean environment has a long and substantial history. We’ve helped remediate EPA cleanup sites, transport toxic waste safely, rehabilitate watersheds, create wetlands, and return nature to a healthy state, working alongside the EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Fish, Game and Wildlife Service.

Full scope

Where we work in environmental

From Superfund cleanups to wetlands to watershed reclamation, Kolb self-performs the sitework that environmental restoration depends on.

Capabilities

What Kolb brings to environmental

Environmental

Remediation, wetland creation, and watershed reclamation that clean up contaminated sites and restore habitat.

Earthwork

Mass grading, excavation, and cut-and-fill for wetlands, levees, reservoirs, and reclamation at scale.

Stabilization

Ground improvement, hydrated-lime treatment, and material amendments for demanding environmental subgrades.

Demolition & Blasting

Structural demolition and controlled rock excavation on cleanup, landfill, and containment sites.

How we work

From contaminated ground to restored habitat.

One team handles the site from first assessment through remediation, earthwork, and final restoration.

01

Assessment & Permitting: we evaluate contamination, map the site, and align the work with EPA and agency requirements before crews mobilize.

02

Site Preparation: access roads, erosion controls, and containment are built so hazardous material stays contained throughout the work.

03

Remediation & Earthwork: contaminated soil is removed or treated, streambanks are rebuilt, and wetlands and grades are shaped to plan.

04

Restoration & Closeout: seeding, native planting, and environmental testing return the ground to a healthy, documented state.

Problems we solve

Challenges environmental sites bring

01

Contaminated soils & handling

We remove, treat, and dispose of hazardous and contaminated material safely, with full decontamination of equipment and crews.

02

Regulatory & documentation

We work to EPA, Corps, and DNR standards and keep the testing, reporting, and sign-off documentation every agency requires.

03

Erosion & stormwater

Erosion controls, channel work, and water-management structures keep sediment and runoff in check throughout the project.

04

Sensitive & wetland areas

Crews work within strict environmental guidelines to protect habitat, water quality, and wildlife while the work moves forward.

Damaged land can be made healthy again. We make it happen.

Safety

Safety is a culture, not a number.

For us, safety is more than an EMR figure. It’s how every crew shows up, every day. From daily planning and hazard analysis to ongoing crew training, we build safety into the work so our people go home safe and your project stays on track.

Daily hazard analysis

Every crew plans the work and the risks before it starts.

Ongoing safety training

Continuous training keeps our people sharp and certified.

Documented compliance

Full reporting and inspection coordination on every job.
