ENVIRONMENTAL

Our staff completes phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments (ESA) and performs underground storage closure assessments. The findings of an ESA or underground storage closure assessment may require site remediation. If you own a contaminated property, we are available to assist in documenting the extent of contamination, completing the design and permitting necessary to remediate the site, and carrying out the ongoing compliance monitoring.

PHASE 1 AND 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS (ESA)

While an ESA could be recommended for any property, the process is most common with commercial property. Our staff completes phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments in accordance with all the appropriate inquiry standards in the ASTM guidelines.

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS

Upon discovery of a failed or leaking underground petroleum-storage tank, Otter Creek Engineering performs an underground storage closure assessment. OCE oversees the removal of the tank and inspects it for corrosion, leaks, and rot. Following tank removal, OCE will assess the soil for contamination and excavate polluted soil when found. OCE will also perform investigations in the event of potential groundwater contamination.

INVESTIGATION & REMEDIATION

The findings of an ESA or underground storage closure assessment may require site remediation. If you own a contaminated property, we are available to assist in documenting the extent of contamination, completing the design and permitting necessary to remediate the site, and carrying out the ongoing compliance monitoring.
