Project
Location:
|
Licking
County, Ohio |
| Project
Description: |
An industrial
site was for sale. However, potential buyers were concerned
about the environmental condition of the site and hesitant
to take possession of the property.
|
| Services
Provided: |
A RCRA
closure was performed so that the property would be eligible
for the Voluntary Action Program. A Phase I and II property
assessment was then conducted in accordance with the protocol
of Ohio's Voluntary Action Program. Following risk-based
modeling of conditions at the site, a no further action letter
(NFA) was issued by Smalley & Associates.
|
| Resolution: |
Ohio EPA
has found the NFA complete and technically adequate, and issued
a covenant not to sue. Liability was greatly reduced
for both the buyer and the seller, and the property sold.

Type: |
Phase
I and II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
|
| Project
Location: |
Preble County,
Ohio
|
| Project
Description: |
A client was interested
in purchasing property, but wanted to ensure that there was
no contamination risk prior to the purchase.
|
| Services
Provided: |
Smalley & Associates
Inc. completed a Phase I ESA according to ASTM standards.
Areas of environmental concern were discovered during the
Phase I ESA. A Phase II ESA was performed to address
these areas. In this investigation Smalley & Associates
drilled several bores and sampled both soil and groundwater.
Several soil bores were advanced to ground water.
|
| Resolution: |
The site was found
to be free of soil and ground water contamination, and the
client could purchase the property with peace of mind.

Type: |
Remediation
|
| Project
Location: |
Licking County,
Ohio
|
| Project
Description: |
Following Phase
I and II investigations performed by Smalley & Associates,
petroleum contamination was found on a commercial property.
The site itself was formerly on land owned by a bulk oil plant,
and three other filling stations with documented releases
were in the vicinity.
|
| Services
Provided: |
Due to the complexity
involved with determining who was responsible for the contamination
on the site, it was found to be simpler and more cost effective
to remediate the site to standards than to engage in costly
investigations and litigation. Smalley & Associates
injected pre-engineered bacteria and nutrients into numerous
locations on the property and performed follow-up sampling.
|
| Resolution: |
The bacteria degraded
petroleum levels to below action levels and the property could
be sold successfully. Furthermore, if contamination
should migrate onto the site at a later date, the present
owners have documentation to show that any bulk plant activities
performed on the site are not responsible.
