The petroleum industry faces an ever-changing landscape and the continued challenge of reducing environmental liabilities with limited funding to meet regulatory standards. We assess environmental risk and exposure related to compliance with Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and State Trust Funds. Our hydrogeologists, geologists, engineers, and scientists are experienced with exploration and production, transmission, processing, storage, and downstream refining and distribution. We specialize in developing innovative, risk-based approaches to reduce liability and remediate soil and groundwater contamination to achieve site closure.
PETROLEUM FACILITIES & GAS STATION INVESTIGATION
We effectively identify the presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that indicate a release to the environment and how it may impact the current and/or future use of the site. Petroleum hydrocarbon releases typically travel downward contaminating soil. When the spill reaches groundwater, it floats and migrates horizontally. As a result, most petroleum releases are fairly shallow in nature. We use the most current and effective remediation technologies and handle everything from site investigation and risk assessment to site remediation, all while working to ensure out-of-pocket expenses are kept to a minimum by locating our client’s old insurance policies to help fund the cleanup costs.
