Former Gas Station Remediation
UST removal and soil remediation at a former service station for retail redevelopment.
Project Overview
This former gas station site in Newark required comprehensive UST removal and soil remediation to enable retail redevelopment. The project involved complex negotiations for access to address contamination that had migrated beyond property boundaries.
The Challenge
Contamination from historical petroleum releases had migrated across property boundaries, requiring negotiation of access agreements with adjacent property owners. The contamination extent required targeted excavation guided by real-time soil screening.
Our Solution
Envicon's team negotiated access agreements enabling comprehensive remediation, then implemented targeted excavation with real-time soil screening to optimize removal volumes. This approach removed 2,400 tons of contaminated soil and achieved Response Action Outcome within 8 months.
