Coal Combustible Residuals: Challenges and Solutions to Dewatering and Disposal• Fly ash has low/no compressibility• Stabilization of fly ash for dry excavation results from
reduction of pore water pressure, thus increasing cohesion• Key success factors for excavation dewatering:
• Field permeability testing of fly ash in situ• Proper engineering analysis of permeability, flow conditions and
expected drawdown• High intensity of dewatering by using closely spaced wickpoints that
operate without disruption• Preventing recharge from aquifers or runoff• Effective filtration/treatment of discharged water

Lowering the water content of ash pond materials by pre-drainage increases coal ash cohesion and stability.
This allows for vertical cuts to be made for large scale excavation with conventional excavation equipment.
The primary methods of ash pond dewatering are:
• Wickpoints• Deep Wells• Well Points• Eductors• Sumping

Three Distinct Sources of Water
Ash Pond Dewatering
• Impounded/free water which lies on top of the ash and comes from precipitation and/or sluicing.
• Groundwater which may intrude into the bottom of the ash.
• Interstitial water which lies in the pore spaces of the ash.
Staging between the 3 pumping systems is a key factor in preventing the potential for leachate entering the groundwater.

SEEP 2DGriffin utilizes two dimensional seepage analysis in order to calculate the flow lines, constant head lines and water table for specific projects like dam seepage and cutoff wall dewatering.
Using MODFLOW helps analyze the 3D models for the dewatering system. The cone of depression resulting from dewatering can be simulated and shown in 3D view. The flowrate required for drawdown at each jobsite can be estimated for each well location.
