Environmental Site Remediation

The objective of environmental remediation is to cleanup a site such that any residual contaminant levels are below established threshold cleanup levels or risk-based cleanup levels.  As with the assessment program, the remediation is structured to meet specific regulatory agency requirements.  Remediation may include the following components:
  • Feasibility Study
  • Pilot Study
  • Corrective Action Plan
  • Remedial Action Plan
  • Implementation of Remediation
  • Post Remediation Verification Sampling
  • Post Remediation Monitoring
  • Closure Request
A remediation program does not necessarily need to incorporate all of the above components.  For sites with minimal contamination, it may be possible to implement the corrective action, post remediation verification sampling, and follow-up closure request as a single event.  Our experience conducting remediation projects allows us to apply our knowledge from past projects to select the appropriate technology to effectively remediate a site.  Examples of various technologies include:
  • excavate and haul soil offsite to an approved soil disposal/treatment facility
  • excavate and treat soil onsite using bioremediation, vapor extraction, etc.
  • insitu treatment using soil vapor extraction
  • insitu treatment using bioventing or other forms of bioremediation
  • other forms of remediation including soil washing, solidification/stabilization, vitrification, etc.
Our goal is to work with our clients to design cost-effective remedial solutions that will meet the prescribed target cleanup objectives within specified timeframes as dictated by the project needs.
