If a leak is discovered or if holes are identified during the township inspection, we follow a structured process to address the situation promptly. Firstly, we initiate the necessary steps by providing an NJDEP case number. Our initial action involves an NJDEP certified subsurface evaluator collecting soil samples to determine whether contamination exceeds the NJDEP criteria of 1,000 mg/Kg. If the samples indicate that contamination is not above the NJDEP criteria, we proceed by submitting a Remedial Action Report (RAR) to the NJDEP. This report outlines the details of the tank removal and the outcome of the sample collection, ensuring compliance and transparency.
However, if the samples do indicate contamination above the NJDEP criteria, we initiate site remediation. This comprehensive process involves the removal and responsible disposal of contaminated soil, followed by additional sample collection. This iterative approach continues until the contamination levels are reduced below the NJDEP criteria, ensuring that the property meets environmental standards.
A Phase I ESA is conducted to assess the environmental condition of a property before real estate transactions or development activities. It helps identify potential environmental risks, compliance issues, and contamination that may impact property value and future use.
While not always legally required, many lenders and responsible property buyers insist on a Phase I ESA to mitigate potential risks. It’s a valuable due diligence tool to ensure informed decision-making.
A Phase II ESA is typically conducted when the Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental concerns. It involves more in-depth investigation, including soil and groundwater sampling, to confirm the presence and extent of contamination.
If contamination is confirmed, our experts will work with you to develop a remediation plan to address the issue. This plan will outline the necessary steps to clean up the site and comply with environmental regulations.
