The initial assessment of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater revealed that soil and groundwater were impacted with chlorinated solvents and were at levels that required remediation. At the client&#8217;s request EEC &#8220;fast-tracked&#8221; the installation of a DPE system to site cleanup.<\/p>\n<p>EEC conducted additional assessment and tested several remedial options: <em>in situ<\/em> biological and chemical oxidation treatment materials, installation of an enhancement of the existing DPE system through the installation of horizontal extraction wells beneath the retail building. Although <em>in situ<\/em> treatment reduced contaminants in the source zone during pilot testing, continued DPE was identified as the best remedial solution for the site. Upon evaluating data, EEC determined that an additional source was contributing to the on-site issue. To monitor progress a series at 10 groundwater wells were installed and sampled on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n<p>EEC proactively investigated the history of land use at the site and determined that a former dry-cleaning tenant formerly occupied another suite at the shopping center. The nearby former dry-cleaning facility was assessed and determined to have significant\u00a0impacts on soil, soil vapor, and groundwater. To remediate this location aggressively, EEC performed multiple limited-access remedial excavations in the retail suite. Due to the limited accessibility of the site, EEC removed the impacted soil with a bucket auger rig, suitable for limited-access areas, to more than 10 feet below ground surface in the internal space. Each 4-foot-diameter auger boring was backfilled with slurry the same day to maintain the stability of the structure.<\/p>\n<p>Following the excavation, EEC installed a DPE system at the second location to mitigate impacted groundwater and soil that could not be removed due to structural concerns. Both sites in the same shopping center are in operation and maintenance stages.\u00a0 EEC\u2019s fast response to the urgent issues at these sites made this project a significant success with regard to the protection of human health and path to closure. EEC\u2019s approach significantly reduced environmental impacts without affecting the normal business operations at the shopping center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Highlights: Soil, soil vapor, and groundwater VOC impacts related to dry-cleaning process On-site soil, soil vapor, and groundwater characterization Design, installation, and testing of two independent 250-cubic-foot-per-minute dual phase extraction (DPE) systems Feasibility evaluation of chemical and biological injection to treat groundwater Remedial excavation of \u201chot spots\u201d to enhance source recovery Installation and monitoring [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":8050,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Site Assessments, Soil Remediation, and Groundwater Monitoring","_seopress_titles_desc":"EEC was retained to assess, remediate, and manage a site due to EEC\u2019s well-known expertise in remediating solvent releases at dry-cleaning facilities.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","protect_children":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"project_category":[291,324],"project_tag":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/7740"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/7740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=7740"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eecenvironmental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=7740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
