Understanding the Importance of Soil and Groundwater Testing
Soil and groundwater contamination can pose significant environmental and financial risks if not addressed properly. In New Jersey, where older properties often come with a history of underground oil tanks, industrial use, or commercial activity, the potential for contamination is high. This is why accurate testing and professional remediation are essential, not just for regulatory compliance, but also for property value preservation and community safety.
Advanced Testing Techniques
At Steve Rich Environmental Contractors, we utilize cutting-edge testing methods to identify contaminants like petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other hazardous substances. Our approach includes:
- Soil Sampling: Comprehensive soil analysis to detect contaminants at various depths and locations on the property, ensuring no hidden contamination is overlooked.
- Groundwater Monitoring: Installation of monitoring wells to assess groundwater quality, including testing for pollutants like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), and other regulated substances.
- Real-Time Field Analysis: Use of portable gas chromatographs and other advanced tools for on-site, rapid testing, minimizing delays and providing immediate data for decision-making.
- Geoprobe® Technology: High-resolution, direct push sampling for precise, minimally invasive subsurface investigations.
Tailored Remediation Solutions
Once contamination is confirmed, we develop custom remediation plans based on the specific conditions of each site. Our remediation services include:
- Excavation and Removal: Safe and thorough removal of contaminated soil, with proper disposal at licensed facilities.
- In-Situ Remediation: Treatment of contaminated soils without excavation, using methods like chemical oxidation, bioremediation, or soil vapor extraction.
- Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA): Adhering to the requirements set forth by the SRRA, including the use of Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs) to oversee complex remediation projects.
- Groundwater Treatment: Pump and treat systems, air sparging, and other groundwater remediation techniques to address plume migration and restore water quality.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting: Continuous oversight to verify the effectiveness of the remediation process, ensuring compliance with NJDEP standards.
