Services
|
Our primary goal is to
help clients get property removed from State and Federal agencies'
contaminated site lists, or to avoid being placed on these lists
to begin with. The company offers landowners, businesses and communities
complete service to assist in the restoration of contaminated property,
including site characterization, soil analysis, debris removal,
soil treatment and addressing state and federal regulatory requirements.

SITE
REMEDIATION AND BIOREMEDIATION
|
The Remediators facilitates
the client needs for cleanup to provide the most appropriate methodology
to achieve results. This may include physical removal of substances
from a site or other remedial plan to treat contamination on-site.
The Remediators expertise lies in the remediation of soils using
a biological process known as Microflora
Enhancement. Using fungi to clean contaminated soil, The Remediators
offers its clients a real solution to their environmental problems.
The process is safe, effective, and can often be accomplished
at a fraction of the cost of more traditional treatments. Keeping
living organisms alive and thriving under these adverse conditions
requires very specialized knowledge and a profound understanding
of soil microbiology. The Remediators' staff and scientific network
leads the world in large-scale applications of soil remediation
using fungi.

SITE
CHARACTERIZATION, ASSESSMENT
|
|
Site Characterization
and Assessment process is the first step in understanding contamination
issues faced by the landowner or potentially responsible party (PLP).
The Remediators Inc. trained personnel compile exhaustive historical
environmental data to provide an extensive background of any property.
The team relies on multi-agency standards, such as Triad Methodology
to offer the greatest level of flexibility to make field decisions
based on field results.
Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment: The objectives of a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) are to assess the environmental concerns associated
with current and past uses of the site, and adjacent sites, to determine
the requirements for further investigation or remedial action. Phase
I ESA typically include:
- A visual inspection
of the property and adjacent properties
- A determination of
any Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)
- Anecdotal interviews
with persons knowledgeable about the site
- Review of current
and historic site activity
- Review of any regulatory
agency records or data
A comprehensive Phase
I Environmental Site Assessment Report includes the results of the
assessment, opinions, conclusions, and recommendations.
Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment : A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is
conducted after the results of a Phase I ESA have indicated on-site
or off-site environmental concerns that warrant further investigation.
The objectives of a Phase II ESA are to evaluate and describe site
hydrogeological conditions, determine the location, type, and concentrations
of contaminants, and determine the requirements for remedial action
based on the applicable regulatory environmental guidelines. The
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Report will give detailed
explanations of environmental concerns, specific site characterizations,
and remedial solutions

SITE
RISK ASSESSMENT
|
Risk evaluation is
a crucial consideration when evaluating State and Federal cleanup
guidelines. Risk assessments provide a clear direction for decisions
regarding the remedial action required, cleanup levels to be achieved
and permitting requirements. The Remediators can provide multi-pathway
risk assessments under a variety of regulatory considerations.
|
REGULATORY
NEGOTIATION SUPPORT
|
| Successful
negotiation with State and Federal agencies is the true measure of
our success. Until a client is released from the burden of mandated
remedial action, the client has not resolved the property contamination
issues, even if that contamination has been eliminated. The Remediatorts
staff has experience with government regulations, policies, guidelines
and procedures in multiple states, negotiating reasonable cleanup
and monitoring guidelines and directing projects to "No Further
Action" status, and de-listing of property from contaminated
site lists. |

ABOUT BROWNFIELDS
The Remediators Inc.
helps developers and communities with abandoned properties to help
them restore the economic potential of both the land and the community.
Brownfields
are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which
may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting
in these properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped,
open land, and both improves and protects the environment.

BIOREMEDIATION OF SOIL USING FUNGI - Click on any image to enlarge
 |
 |
 |
 |
Petroleum contaminated
soil treated with fungi demonstrates rapid colonization after just
a few days. Mycelial enzymes naturally degrade a wide variety of
organic chemical compounds.
|
Enriched biomass is
amended to soil, providing oxygen and readily available nutrients
to the microbial community. Fungi lead the aerobic
digestion of chemicals, leading to enhanced microflora activity
even in heavily impacted soils.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Soil testing and preparation
for application of biomass. Heavily impacted soil resists natural
attenuation due to factors of temperature, humidity, and soil
type.
|
Vigorously growing microbes
quickly move through soil mixture, releasing enzymes which chemically
dissolve toxic compounds. Removal of soil, or any residual component
is unnecessary once digestion is complete, typically within 4 to
6 months
