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
