Underground Storage Tank Contamination

Client

• Fuel Retailer

Problems

• Hydrocarbons
• Gasoline & Diesel
• Initial Levels ± 6,000ppm (Criteria = 1,000 ppm)

Project Summary

The impacted soil was contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons originating from underground storage tank leakage. Due to the large volume of soils present on-site, the material was transported to a Sanitary Landfill for treatment and subsequent use as daily cover. There was a total of approximately 3,600 m3 to be treated. The scope of work was to initiate treatment of the soil by way of bioremediation using windrows.

Results and Advantages

• Achieved successful remediation (Levels ranging from 186 ppm to 410 ppm) within 51 days and provided a useful end product for the Sanitary Landfill.

Duration and Cost

• Project completed in 51 days.
• Project Cost: ± $172,000.00 (On Budget)
