SERVICES OFFERED BY EPT
 Environmental cleanup begins with detecting contaminants in the soil or groundwater.  Potential
sources of contamination include fuel storage tanks and their associated piping and dispensing
systems, locations where drycleaning solvents were handled, and pesticide mixing areas.  
Phase I
or Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
and Tank Closure Assessments are studies conducted
to identify the presence of contamination.
Prior to initiating additional cleanup tasks, the site's history is
researched (right) to determine if an
Alternate Funding Source, e.g.,
State funding, is available to complete the cleanup.  EPT's
accounting, administrative, and technical staff are experts in
evaluating a site's eligibility for government funding and completing
the necessary paperwork.

The Site Assessment includes collecting soil and
groundwater samples to delineate the vertical
and horizontal extent of contamination.  EPT's
professional geologists and environmental
scientists have completed hundreds of Site
Assessments for private and government
clients, owning all of the equipment necessary to
complete work, including hollow stem auger and
direct push technology drill rigs.

Following the site assessment, a
Remedial Action Plan (RAP) is
prepared by EPT's engineering staff
to design the most cost-effective
cleanup strategy for the site.  
Short-term Pilot-Tests are performed
prior to finalizing the RAP to ensure
the cleanup strategy chosen for the
site is likely to succeed.
Except in shallow, highly stratified
clayey-silty formations, soil excavation is
typically not the most cost-effective
cleanup approach.  Cleanup in more
permeable geologies is accomplished
using in-situ technologies that employ soil
or groundwater treatment points (wells)
connected to blowers, compressors, and
pumps via underground piping.  EPT exerts
considerable effort to ensure that
Remedial
System Installs
are performed safely with
the least amount of disruption possible.  
Particular attention is given to noise
abatement, parking lot (slip and fall) safety,
and equipment compound safety over the
life of the cleanup process.

Site safety conditions are monitored by
EPT's qualified and trained technical staff
during monthly or more frequent
System
Operation and Maintenance
visits.  The
effectiveness of the cleanup strategy is
also monitored during these visits by
measuring soil gas and groundwater
quality, pressures, and water levels, and
making the necessary adjustments to the
remedial system.  A Site Rehabilitation
Completion (No Further Action) Order is
issued by the State after achieving and
maintaining the appropriate cleanup target
levels over a period of at least one (1) year.
