SOIL REMEDIATION

Before jumping into the soil remediation process, let’s determine when it is required. Unfortunately, the way the industry works is that when your oil tank is removed, if it fails inspection, 9 out of 10 companies are going to recommend what’s called a soil remediation project

Without having any analytical results, if a company offers you soil remediation as the next step in the process, you need to run in the other direction! This is a major red flag, as soil remediation is only required when contamination is above the cleanup standards.

According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), you’re allowed to leave contamination in the ground as long as you can prove that it’s under the cleanup standards.Contaminated Soil Removal

GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION

Here’s the thing with groundwater contamination for residential sites in the state of New Jersey. If the contractor you hire to perform your soil remediation project does the proper job and removes all the soil contamination, your groundwater investigation will most likely be clean. What that means is the source of any groundwater contamination must be removed in order to get clean groundwater, the source being the oil contamination in the soil. We need to first remove the tank, then we need to remove the contaminated soil that’s soaked with the oil. Then we put a well, which is basically a piece of PVC pipe that we drilled down to water level, and we pump out the water and we put it into a jar and send it to a state certified lab. simpletankservices.com
