ST. JOHN’S RIVER POWER PARK 

As part of this project, Total Wrecking completed approximately $15 million in site work, including demolition of the lime and coal crushing systems, mixing equipment, and the facility’s water treatment plant.

The project also included complete removal of ash ponds, settling ponds, recovery ponds, coal storage yards, and associated paved surfaces before final site restoration.

Material recovery included:

• 150,000 cubic yards of concrete crushed and reused onsite
• 370,000 cubic yards of imported fill placed for backfill
• More than 1 million square feet of asphalt recycled

Following demolition, the site was graded to its final design elevations before sod installation and hydroseeding completed the restoration process.
