Groundwater Investigation & Remediation - A Case Study


Project Highlights:

•  Gasoline impacted soil and groundwater was identified during UST closure at a school district transportation facility.

•  Contaminant characterization, delineation, and modeling indicated natural attenuation would be a successful remedial action without a risk to receptors.

•  Risk based corrective action avoided costly remediaton

Facility:

Board of Education Transportation Facility in Northern New Jersey.

Regulatory Involvement/Program:

New Jersey Department of Environmental (NJDEP) Bureau of Underground Storage Tanks.

Constituents of Interest:

Gasoline associated volatile organic compounds; primarily benzene and xylene.

The Problem:

A release of gasoline from an underground storage tank impacted underlying soil and groundwater. The high volume of traffic in the area of concern prompted a request from the client to implement a non-invasive, economical, remedial solution

The Solution:

Hudson was retained to complete the remedial investigation, perform a remedial alternatives analysis and propose a remedy. Based on Hudson's computer modeling, monitored natural attenuation and establishment of an aquifer Classification Exception Area (CEA) was recommended.
