Petroleum Release Assessment and Cleanup
Aboveground and belowground petroleum leaks and spills are the most numerous of all environmental incidents. Whether you live in a city or rural area, there is a good chance that you live close to a petroleum release site, Releases from underground storage tanks are the most prevalent; in sheer numbers, these releases pose the largest threats to groundwater resources.
Once detected, a petroleum release is reported and then follows a process that is mandated by regulatory authorities. Depending on the extent of the release and the impact on receptors, a site in North Carolina may go through a set of steps that can include some or all of the following site activities or reporting requirements:
- Tank removal
- Excavation and offsite disposal of impacted soil
- Release notification to regulatory authorities
- Site check or Initial Abatement
- Free product removal
- Receptor survey
- Limited Site Assessment (LSA)
- Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA)
- Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
- Filing of land use restrictions including a Notice of Residual Petroleum.
We provide these services using knowledge drawn from over a quarter century of petroleum assessment and remediation experience. Cost-effective sampling and data collection methods will be used that are based on site-specific subsurface soils and geology and regulatory requirements. If the site requires remediation, multiple remedial options will be explored to decide on a method that is appropriate for the site. Remedial methods will be implemented by us or specialized subcontracting firms.
