• Oil recovery
• Field sampling and report analysis
• Underground storage tank closure
• Phase II subsurface report
• Closure of NYSDEC oil spill file

BACKGROUND:
An old oil spill was discovered on this site by EMTEQUE field engineers while performing a routine asbestos survey. After a detailed site investigation, two 7,800-gallon oil storage tanks were found in a vault area, in addition to the source of the leak. EMTEQUE technicians pumped out over 4,000-gallons of free product, entered and cleaned the USTs, performed a soil analysis from around the tank bed area and then filled both USTs with concrete slurry to close the tanks in accordance with NYSDEC guidelines. EMTEQUE then produced a detailed Phase II report and successfully petitioned the NYSDEC to close the spill file.
