RANDOLPH, NEW JERSEY

C.E.R.S provided soil remediation services to this homeowner as part of a leaking UST system noted at the time of a voluntary UST removal project.  Contaminated soils were observed in the tank cavity.  A tank warranty was in place for the underground storage tank system.  On the same day as removal, C.E.R.S. proceeded to remediate the contaminated soils from the area of concern and stockpiled the soils on site.  Once complete, C.E.R.S. performed the soil remedial investigation to document the success of the remedial activities. Neither ground water nor bedrock was encountered during the remedial activities and the final activities of the site day included backfilling the excavation to grade. The contaminated soils were later disposed and site was restored with topsoil and seed.  A UST Closure and Remedial Action report for "No Further Action" recommendation was completed and approved by the NJDEP. The site time was two days and the NFA was received within six months of the release.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL CLIENT, OLDWICK,  NEW JERSEY

This project involved emergency response activities as a result of a sudden release of fuel oil from a 1,000 gallon heating oil tank.  The breached tank released fuel oil to the subsurface soils and the adjacent dwelling footing drain discharged fuel oil through underground drain lines to a horse paddock.  The release occurred in the winter therefore, the permafrost surface soils created a sheet flow of fuel oil into a wetland area having numerous rivulets.  The stream was ultimately impacted as well.  C.E.R.S. emergency activities included the installation of  filter fences in the stream, absorbent materials in the rivulet area, construction of underflow dams and installation of  a collection trench at the base and at the point of discharge within the  horse paddock to mitigate migration of fuel oil.  A considerable volume of fuel oil was recovered in the first few days of remedial activities.  Once the release was under control a permitted ground water pump and treat system designed, installed and operated for a period of six months to project completion. Additional activities included contaminated surface soil remediation, UST removal including soil remediation, remedial investigation including sediment, surface water, ground water and soils. A UST Closure and Remedial Action report for "No Further Action" recommendation was completed and approved by the NJDEP. The project was completed within one year of the release.

PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL CLIENT, BOONTON, NEW JERSEY

C.E.R.S. was contracted by the fuel oil dealer and the tank warranty program due to a sudden loss of 1000 gallons of fuel from the client’s UST.  C.E.R.S. procured an emergency removal permit from the township and removed the tank the following morning.  Roughly 100 tons of impacted soils were removed from the excavation and neither ground water nor bedrock was encountered.  C.E.R.S. collected post remediation soil samples and backfilled the excavation to grade.  The data determined that further soil remediation was required and C.E.R.S. conducted this remedial process by load and go techniques and an additional 50 tons of soils were removed.  Neither ground water nor bedrock were encountered in the phase II remedial services.  C.E.R.S. then conducted a geoprobe investigation to determine the depth to ground water and whether floating product was present.  Ground water was found at 20' bg and free product was found.  The soils portion of the project was completed for the tank warranty program.  The homeowner insurance company provided coverage for the ground water remedial activities. C.E.R.S.  located and installed a recovery well and three site wells. Potable wells in the area and a downgradient stream were potential receptors.  C.E.R.S. designed, constructed, installed and maintained a ground water pump and treatment system and monitored the site wells and potential receptors.  Roughly 960 gallons of free product was recovered during the term of the project.  No receptors were adversely impacted by the sudden release.   All ground water investigation and remedial services are conducted through the homeowner’s insurance company. The project  was completed for a No Further Action Determination.
