Prompt Service for All Types of Leaks and Spills
The list below highlights some of the most common environmental concerns that we have resolved. Most of our work comes from clients finding an underground tank that has leaked on their property, but we also handle leaks and spills caused by overpressurization, handling accidents, illegal dumping, and more.
- Unleaded gasoline leaks
- Kerosene tank leaks
- Oil underground storage tank (UST) leaks
- Oil line ruptures
- Home fuel oil spills and leaks
- PCE dry cleaning solvent leaks
- Truck spills
- Metal shavings mixed with cutting oil
SOIL & GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION PROJECTS
In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Bioremediation
PROJECT: 2009 – Historic Gasoline Service Station Underground Storage Tank (UST) Rupture Effecting Municipal Redevelopment Project
SITE: Tenafly Borough, Bergen County, NJ, ANCO Project #15523-RW
PROJECT VALUE: $120,000
CLIENT: East Edge LLC & Tenafly Borough
DETAILS: A catastrophic release of approximately 4,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline occurred onsite in July of 1994. A hole was discovered through the invert at the strike plate location of the 8,000 gallon fiberglass premium grade gasoline UST. The Borough of Tenafly sought to acquire the property to develop into a small park. ANCO was hired in early 2009, displacing earlier consultants who still had not completed three dimensional source delineation across the entire site. ANCO responded with two geoprobe units and continuously sampled soils to vertically and horizontally delineate the petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil including liquid- and residual-phase gasoline and diesel fuel which was encountered in a smear 3 one extending 8′ into the water table. The remaining contaminant source was excavated, 200 tons of soil was treated off-site, and post-excavation soil sampling showed the soil impact was removed to the most stringent soil criteria. Next, an array of temporary wells was installed and sampled to screen the dissolved contaminant plume. Additional water-table and vertical extent monitoring wells were installed in two episodes, on- and off-site, and sampled to delineate the dissolved plume geometry. Chemical oxidation agent was injected to speed remediation of remaining contaminants. Hydraulic slug testing was conducted and a CEA was calculated. A down gradient sentinel well was installed, sampled and found to be clean. Active site remediation is completed, pending an approved CEA/NFA letter from the NJDEP.
PROJECT: 2008 – Time Of Essence Urban Site With Foundation Underpinning And Bioremediation
SITE: Jersey City, Hudson County, NJ, ANCO Project #14831- RW
PROJECT VALUE: $120,000
CLIENT: Travelers Insurance
OVERSIGHT CONSULTANT: None – See attached letter of recommendation
PROJECT VALUE: $121,000
DETAILS: With a mortgage commitment about to expire, ANCO underwrote project financing to enable rapid job progression anticipating payment from the property transaction. Groundwater impacted with a ¼” free product layer was encountered at 11′ thereby triggering homeowner’s liability coverage. ANCO deployed a FRAC tank with automatic pumps to establish hydraulic control. The plume extended from the curb to just beneath the foundation at this tight 18′ wide urban ‘walk up’. The stairway to the second floor and the sidewalk were removed to enable removal of the entire front yard. Two concrete filled sonotubes were set on bedrock and utilized to support the foundation. A down gradient sentinel well was installed to determine remedial effectiveness while oil metabolizing microbes were broadcast across the base of the excavation. ANCO backfilled then restored sidewalks and the stairway before the mortgage expiration date.
PROJECT: 2008 – Groundwater Remediation With Helical Piles And In-site Chemical Oxidation
SITE: Newark, Essex County, NJ, ANCO Project #15307-RW
CLIENT: NJ Manufacturers Insurance
OVERSIGHT CONSULTANT: Phoenix Consulting Group, 610-935-3527
PROJECT VALUE: $58,000
DETAILS: ANCO removed this leaking oil tank in the Spring of 2008. Following soil and groundwater contamination delineation performed by Phoenix, a structural underpinning plan involving mini piles was designed and approved by NJM, however, the homeowner was not comfortable with the approach. ANCO suggested a modified digout approach plus in-situ remediation techniques. This involved the installation of 30-slot horizontal piping, backfilled with ¾” gravel followed by injection of Regenesis ORC to finish the job via chemical oxidation. While the modified digout still extended 6′ beneath the house, ANCO simply advanced two Chance pull down piles to support the 12′ exposed foundation span. Soil disposal totaled 90 tons, but a light oil sheen was clearly visible on groundwater. ANCO added the two part RegenOx product prior to backfilling. Following backfill and surface restoration an ATV drill rig was deployed to install two permitted wells. A final application of Regensis ORC advanced was injected at 20 psi through the piping to flood the Vadose Zone. Groundwater sampling (performed by Phoenix) results are pending.
PROJECT: 2007 – Luxury Residence Basement Oil Line Rupture With Sub Slab Impact
SITE: Boonton Township, Morris County, NJ, ANCO Project #13914-RW
CLIENT: Utica Insurance
OVERSIGHT CONSULTANT: ENSR, 978-589-3012
PROJECT VALUE: $188,000
DETAILS: Brought in directly by the fuel oil dealer, ANCO responded to an oil line rupture where about 60 gallons leaked onto the utility room floor, then flowed beneath the ‘floating’ concrete floor slab. The water table was only 8″ beneath the slab; therefore the oil was quickly carried beneath half the basement floor area through the sub slab gravel. ANCO opened a series of pits and recovery troughs, then, by injecting steam with surfactants, the oil was sparged from the gravel. Two groundwater circulation systems were then installed, where water from the interceptor trenches was pumped through activated carbon then re-injected into holes drilled through the up gradient side of the basement floor. Oil metabolizing microbes were added prior to backfilling. The home had been outfitted with a radon remediation system, which was utilized and modified to polish remaining sub slab soil gas. The air pump output was directed through 55-gallon drums of carbon before discharging to the atmosphere. Groundwater quality and final indoor air clearance tests returned below limits within six months of the spill resulting in a recent NFA letter by the NJDEP.
PROJECT: 2005 – Foundation Underpinning With Sectional Concrete Piers for Soil And Groundwater Remediation
beneath foundation involving deck reconstruction
SITE: Montville, Morris County, NJ, ANCO Project #10340-RW
CLIENT: NJ Manufacturers Insurance
OVERSIGHT CONSULTANT: EnviroClaims, 908-852-4800
PROJECT VALUE: $207,000
DETAILS: A badly leaking oil tank located beneath a large deck and a shed impacted shallow groundwater directing oil flow along the foundation, beneath the house and under the driveway. The deck was removed and the worst contamination was dug out with dewatering and hydraulic control over underlying groundwater. The house was sectionally underpinned, the trenches dug out, then quickly concrete filled in wide sections. Oil metabolizing microbes were utilized to finish off trace amount of residual petroleum. Floor slab, driveway and foundation drain replacement were all included in the site restoration phase. ANCO also rebuilt the 12’x16′ second floor deck with full stairway, utilizing ANCO carpenters.
