With more stringent regulations and increased liabilities associated with underground storage tanks, it is especially important to hire qualified and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) certified professional like EWMA when removing, replacing, upgrading, or assessing an underground storage tank (UST) system. Whether your project involves one tank or multiple tanks, EWMA has the experience and qualifications to manage your project from start to finish. Our scientists are certified to conduct subsurface tank evaluations, installations, closures, and tank testing.
Closures / Site Assessments
EWMA conducts underground storage tank closures and site assessments to determine if a discharge from the tank has occurred. We have closed a wide variety of underground storage tanks from large 10,000-gallon industrial tanks that contained various chemicals and petroleum products to small 550-gallon homeowner heating oil tanks. While many companies provide tank closure services, EWMA stands apart by providing comprehensive environmental consulting services during the tank closure process. We have the staff on hand to handle all the remedial investigation, cleanup, and regulatory filings and reports necessary to achieve regulatory compliance for an underground storage tank closure. .
Soil and Groundwater Cleanup
Our experience goes beyond just the tank removal, and includes technical assessments associated with leaking underground storage tanks including:
- Delineation of contamination to determine the impact of UST discharges on groundwater, wetlands, and water bodies.
- Plume dating to determine when a tank leak first occurred. This scientific analysis is useful to support insurance claims and disputes between former owners of UST storage facilities to determine liability for remediation of contaminated site.
Once the contamination has been defined, EWMA works with the owner to mitigate or remediate to meet the current regulatory requirements for closure.
Regulatory Compliance
Underground storage tanks that are onsite and operational must meet strict Federal and State regulatory requirements. EWMA has the regulatory compliance staff on-hand to help tank owners and operators understand and comply with the myriad of regulatory requirements to ensure their tanks are in full compliance with Federal and State regulations.
