By definition, Remediation is the “act or process of correcting a fault or deficiency”. Therefore, in terms of an incident involving the contamination of soil or groundwater, Remediation would be the “clean up” and in most cases the removal of said contamination with the focus on restoration to a pre-contamination condition.

We here at Meridian are focused on the needs of our clients. It is our intention to make the process as simple as possible. Once the remediation process is complete, the site is restored to its original state. In most cases, your property will look better than its original state. Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal and the driving force behind Meridian Environmental Services.

 When there is a discharge or leak of heating oil either from an above-ground or underground storage tank, the oil impacts the soil immediately surrounding the tank. If that impacted soil is found to be non-compliant with NJDEP Soil Clean-Up Criteria then Soil Remediation will have to be performed. Typically, the area affected will be excavated and the contaminated soil removed and recycled off-site. If and when there is the case that excavation of the affected area is not feasible, an alternative method of treating the soil in place may be used to bring the soil back in compliance with NJDEP Guidelines.

When there is a discharge of heating oil that impacts the groundwater table to a degree that it falls in violation with NJDEP Groundwater Quality Criteria, Groundwater Remediation will have to be performed. The contaminated groundwater can be collected and removed by pumping it from the ground and disposing of it off-site, treating it onsite, or it can be treated in place via several “INSITU” methods. For more detailed descriptions of the “INSITU” Methods please visit this link for more information on this topic. For more info click here.

Since every job is different there is no specific amount set. However, we will provide a proposal with the estimated cost prior to any work.
