Residential UST Projects: While the vast majority of the residential heating oil UST discharges are easily remediated, some sites do get considerably more involved.  The list below represents a small fraction of some of our more challenging remediation projects.

 

Passaic, NJ:  Heating oil tank discharge that impacted both soil and groundwater.  Impacts extended under residence and neighboring residence.  ETS was able to navigate access with neighboring property owner, remediate soil and groundwater impacts using a combination of excavation and in situ technologies.  The use of in situ significantly reduced expenses, as the only remaining option was additional significant structural support

 

Ventnor, NJ:  Heating oil tank discharge that impacted both soil and groundwater.  Previous consultant had expended over $200,000 performing a complete in situ approach.  ETS was able to remediate the entire site, on to the neighboring property where a second UST was discovered.  Both sites were completely remediated for under $80,000. 

 

Bayonne, NJ:  Heating oil tank discharge for two tanks location on adjoining properties.  Soil and groundwater remediation was conducted using a combined excavation and in situ approach, as impacted soil and ground water were identified up to and slightly under the street, which could not be excavated.  ETS was able to obtain NJDEP  and municipal approval, perform the project and completely remediate the area in an extremely cost effective manner.

 

Holmdel, NJ:  This project came to us after another contractor had "completed" a soil and groundwater remediation and the homeowner discovered heating oil odors in their basement.  ETS conducted a site investigation to find that significant impacts were left behind, and the site had to be re excavated. 

 

Collingswood, NJ:  This project was a result of a significant release to both soil and groundwater.  This resulted in an unusually large plume of significantly impacted soils and free product on groundwater across a very large area.  Impacts were identified under the street, which could not be excavated.  Utilizing excavation and a multi phased in situ approach ETS was able to remediate the area.

 

Spring Lake, NJ:  This project came to us after several contractors were unable to develop a plan to remediate a significant release.  Negotiations took place with a difficult neighbor, and the site was remediated utilizing excavation exclusively.  Due to the depth of impacts (25') the residence had to be lifted from its foundation and moved to the front yard, significant supports and lagging were required for the excavated area and over one million gallons of impacted groundwater were treated on site. 

 

Freehold, New Jersey: Complete in situ remediation of a catastrophic release of well over 500 gallon #2 heating oil.  Reduced remediation cost from well over $400K to under $200K utilizing an in situ approach.
