After the completion of an initial survey and a thorough soil testing and analysis, heating oil leaks may be discovered and the need for soil remediation comes into play. When heating oil from an underground or above ground storage tank comes into contact with soil or groundwater; the State of New Jersey requires property owners to take immediate action by prompting the clean-up process in compliance with NJDEP soil remediation standards. Storage tanks can rust and leak over time – producing an environmental hazard and the need for soil remediation.  

The best course of action to remediate a discharge from an underground tank is to remove the source, which is the contaminated soil, and to do so with NJDEP soil remediation standards in mind. NJDEP site remediation ensures sites have been cleaned effectively without affecting other environmental factors in and around a property. After the remediation of soil, or your soil clean-up, your property will be left safe and environmentally sound once again.
