Underground Storage Tank & Hazardous Material Removal
---------------------------------------------------------------- A complete range of services

CES offers a complete range of services to underground storage tank owners and operators. Our services include assessments, site investigations, tank removal/closure support, and remediation. CES has a working knowledge of federal regulations and the varying requirements of the UST regulations and programs established by individual states. With this knowledge and experience, we can cost-effectively and confidentially address your needs.

Assessments CES offers preliminary and in-depth site assessment services to address regulatory conformance and environmental concerns. Our professional staff is skilled in the use of assessment techniques such as tank and line tightness testing, soil gas surveys, test drilling, and geophysical surveys. We also perform assessments of underground storage systems to determine if they meet current regulations and can make recommendations to upgrade the systems, when necessary.

Site Investigations
Site investigations can be conducted to define contamination of soil, surface water, or groundwater. While drilling monitoring wells and soil-sampling is a common investigative method, we also perform soil gas and geophysical surveys to support soil sampling programs.

Removal & Closure Support
CES has extensive experience providing underground storage tank removal services, including development of plans, specifications, and bid documents when needed to meet our clients' requirements. We can provide closure support by notifying and/or negotiating with regulatory agencies, collecting required environmental samples, and preparing closure reports. If the tanks are to be closed in place or be used to store other products, CES can assist in meeting applicable regulations.

Remediation
In the event soil or groundwater has become contaminated by UST releases, CES can assist with the analysis, design, and implementation of remedial action. Our staff has implemented cleanup technologies for soil, surface water, and groundwater. We have designed, pilot-tested, and implemented remediation actions, including vapor extraction, free-product recovery, and pump and treat systems. CES has developed plans and directed the excavation and proper disposal of contaminated soil. We have also designed bioremediation systems and recommended the use of thermal treatment to address petroleum contaminated soils.
