A recent soil remediation project in Union, NJ, involved addressing soil contamination discovered during excavation work at a residential property. After the initial soil sample was collected and sent to the laboratory for testing, the results confirmed that contamination levels were above the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) cleanup standards.
The Soil Testing: What We Found
As part of the project, a soil sample was collected from the middle of the excavation, approximately 7 feet below the existing surface grade. The purpose of the testing was to determine whether contamination exceeded the NJDEP cleanup standard of 5,300 parts per million (ppm).
When the laboratory results came back, the sample showed a contamination level of 8,100 ppm, which was significantly higher than the permitted cleanup standard.
Since the results exceeded the NJDEP limit, additional soil remediation was required to bring the property into compliance with state environmental standards.
The Remediation Process: Getting the Job Done Right
Once the contamination was confirmed, the necessary soil remediation work was carried out to address the affected area. The focus was on removing the contaminated soil and helping ensure the property met the applicable NJDEP cleanup requirements.
Every step of the project was handled with care, keeping safety, proper procedures, and environmental compliance in mind.
