Project Details: Legacy WWII-era former refinery site containing extremely high concentrations of heavy hydrocarbon waste, including free product tar, Located in the middle of the City of Whitehorse, and surrounded by residential communities as well as commercial & industrial ...
Approach: TCH heaters were installed to depths between 23 and 30 ft bgs to heat the target treatment zone (TTZ) to ...
OSHA issued the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards, 29 CFR 1910.120 and 29 CFR 1926.65 (54 Federal Register 9294-9336, March 6, 1989), to protect workers and enable them to handle hazardous substances safely and effectively. The HAZWOPER standard for the construction industry (29 CFR 1926.65) is identical to 29 CFR 1910.120. For brevity, the HAZWOPER standard ...
Incineration of biosolids laden with PFAS isn’t the best option as it has the potential to release by products of the chemicals into the atmosphere where they can travel miles away from the incineration plant. 3M, one of the manufacturers of PFAS and PFOS, propose containment and capping of PFAS contaminated soil and sludges to prevent rainwater from driving the chemicals into groundwater. ...
The Risks and Rewards of Petroleum Brownfield Remediation Many LUST brownfields are located near or within towns where developable land is scarce. ...
For example, brownfield sites in densely populated areas where remedial actions often include excavation and removal of contaminated soil that may cause harmful vapors to be released into the air and negatively impact the surrounding community. ...
Aestus performed our GeoTrax Survey to determine potential environmental liabilities at this abandoned gas station site. We discovered a previously unknown buried tank (see image above). The client removed the leaking tank and impacted soils before construction began on this redevelopment project. Our client was pleased that Aestus’ GeoTrax Survey identified this problem area before ...
But on top of all of those factors, many of these brownfields are abandoned gas stations, which are unseemly and occupy much-needed real estate in American towns. The redevelopment of brownfield sites can bring additional economic value to towns, and allow for building without taking over previously unoccupied natural lands. But restoring ...
The New Jersey (USA) AC 7 26 D Remediation Standards developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for the implementation of the Brownfield and Contaminated Site Remediation Act, NJSA 58:10B-12, among other statutes such as The Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), NJSA 13:1K‐6 et seq., the Water Pollution ...
The site was a petroleum tank farm from the early half of the 20th century. Contaminants on-site include petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene and ethylbenzene, and PAHs naphthalene and 2-methylnapthalene. Most contaminants are in subsurface and groundwater, with the exception of PAHs that extend from the surface to ...
If deemed suitable, Arbor Day Foundation will reach out to Intrinsyx Environmental to perform site assessment, design, and installation of phytoremediation systems. ...
Microbes could keep those trees healthy—offering a low-cost, low-energy way to clean hazardous sites across the U.S. In 1980, a federal law identified the most hazardous sites around the United States, those that contained toxic contaminants in urgent need of cleanup. These “Superfund sites,” named for the initial funding ...
The new industrial ecodistricts are areas in which production activities, increasingly attentive to research and development, optimise resource management and interact with the local territory: they are the evolution of the old, often abandoned, industrial districts. The transformation of these areas is a great economic opportunity, and not just for the region. ...
Accelerated Remediation Technologies, LLC (ART) was secured by a major uniform services company to provide remediation technology at a PCE site in Minneapolis. Contaminant concentrations had reached asymptotic levels and were significantly higher than defined action levels. ...
Background CL-Out was successfully used to remediate TCE in ground water at a former industrial site near Newark. The affected ground water was perched on siltstone bedrock in a mix of fill and alluvial sand deposits. The cleanup goal was to reduce the contaminant mass sufficiently to meet site-specific goals to prevent vapor intrusion and offsite migration ...
A Raptor survey of a brownfield site in the UK, reveals clear evidence of old building foundations and associated infrastructure. ...
Operating and maintaining a utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant is a time-consuming and expensive proposition. However, there’s been a unique innovation in PV plant operation – though it comes from a simple and decidedly old-school source. Sheep’s New Role in Lowering PV Plant Operations and Maintenance Costs You read that correctly. Sheep are now being used for ...
The USEPA’s Brownfields Program USEPA’s Brownfields Program was established to facilitate the rehabilitation of contaminated property for redevelopment. ...
A $400 million redevelopment project that will be the site for a new gaming casino was formerly an automotive factory. The primary contaminants of concern on this 123 acre brownfield site Primary concern were residual chlorinated compounds from former cleaning and manufacturing ...

Remediation In addition to air and water contaminants, groundwater remediation is a common pollution control focus for leaking underground storage tanks, oil spills and brownfield or federal Superfund sites, where chemicals have leaked into the soil and groundwater. ...
