Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are one of the largest sources of soil and groundwater contamination in the United States. In an effort to prevent and rectify this situation, the U.S. EPA along with various state governments have developed stringent guidelines regulating the design, installation, management, removal and remediation of UST systems. HazCorp Experience Since 1992, Hazcorp Environmental Services, Inc. has been helping both UST owners and operators in complying with complex regulations in a cost-effective and environmentally safe manner. HazCorp addresses the concerns that owners and operators face everyday. Those concerns can range anywhere from tank tightness testing to the repair, upgrade, permanent abandonment and/or removal of UST systems. Closure Assessments Due to improved tank monitoring equipment and increased compliance inspections suspected releases are becoming more common. HazCorp has the right equipment and expertise to perform various site assessments, tier evaluations and subsurface investigations to determine if a release has occurred into the soil or groundwater. Remedial Options In Ohio, as in other states, a closure assessment is required upon permanent abandonment or removal of a UST system. HazCorp personnel, in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations, have performed hundreds of closure assessments. Professional Consultation is a Must In the unfortunate event that a release is confirmed and remediation is deemed necessary, HazCorp has the experience and expertise to design and manage all types of remedial activities. HazCorp Environmental Services, Inc. is committed to assisting tank owners in determining, which remedial, disposal or treatment options are the most cost effective and environmentally safe. Through a structured approach we address the compliance requirements of any tank owner, regardless of system size or complexity. Unless a UST owner is completely confident in the capability and competence of a UST removal/remediation contractor, it is critical that the UST system owner be represented by an experienced consulting firm. Decisions such as excavation size, contaminated soil/groundwater disposition, or alternate remediation options can save or cost a UST owner thousands of dollars. HazCorp represents UST owners with a commitment to cost-saving and environmentally-safe solutions. From remediation design and implementation to Tier 1 Evaluation reports, HazCorp Environmental Services, Inc. delivers quality, dependable service.
