Underground Storage
Tank Removals & Hydrogeologic Investigations
Work Description
– General:
Chase Environmental Group
(Chase) has removed over a hundred underground storage tanks
in various locations in Kentucky and Indiana. Tanks have
been located in military, industrial and commercial sites,
and airports. Typical tank removal projects have ranged
in size from 500 gallon to 10,000-gallon tanks.-Tank Removal—After
a tank has been removed, soil and ground-water samples are
collected and analyzed as required by state regulations.
Samples are analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene,
xylene, lead, or polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
Undergound
Tank Removal
Chase has managed the collection,
validation, verification, reporting, and interpretation
of hundreds of soil samples and ground-water samples from
tank removal projects.-Management of Tank Wastes and Water—Tanks
may contain sludge, which is sampled, profiled and disposed
of as special waste or hazardous waste. Any water in tanks
or tank pits is removed sampled, analyzed and treated, or
recycled.-Groundwater Investigation—As appropriate, hydrogeologic
assessments include installation, development, and sampling
of monitoring wells; abandonment of inactive and/or improperly
constructed monitoring wells; and development and implementation
of monitoring programs for collection, interpretation, mapping,
and reporting of ground-water data.-Remediation Activities—If
the analytical results taken from the soil samples are above
regulatory limits, Chase develops state approved corrective
action plans for remediating the site. Activities may include
excavation, profiling, and waste disposal, or remediation
using alternative remedial measures such as insitu bioremediation
and soil vapor extraction.
