Prestige Environmental resolved soil and groundwater contamination issues related to a former 3,000-gallon leaking heating oil tank removed from the street. The work area was near heavily traveled J.F.K. Boulevard, which required traffic control, coordination with police and tenants living in the high-rise apartment building. The entire cost of remediation, exceeding $70,000, was funded by New Jersey’s “Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Remediation Upgrade and Closure Fund Grant” (P.L. 1997, C. 235).
Resolved contamination issues related to a leaking 5,000-gallon heating oil tank in accordance with the New Jersey DEP’s Unregulated Heating Oil Tank (UHOT) Program. The tank was located in the exterior paved area of the high-rise apartment building.
Prestige Environmental removed four heating oil underground tanks of 2,000 to 4,000-gallon capacity located in an area between two buildings with limited access. Soil contamination was encountered. Excavation of contaminated soil required resolving building foundation safety issues and evaluation of groundwater impact.
