Significant chlorinated solvent soil and groundwater contamination was discovered underlying a historic dry cleaning operation in New York. Reliance utilized its vast dry cleaner and chlorinated solvent experience to quickly characterize, assess and remediate the site.

process

  • Plumes were co-mingled with a gasoline/VOC plume from a neighboring property.

  • Reliance successfully approached the State regulatory authority to assign liabilities to the appropriate responsible parties.

  • Innovatively used different remedial technologies to remediate plume as the chlorinated solvents decayed in the subsurface.

  • Our remedial approach reduced long-term remedial costs, minimized operational disturbances, and reached the remedial objectives.

results

  • No loss of revenue during characterization, assessment and remediation efforts.

  • Successfully deflected ownership of a gasoline plume discovered during Reliance’s investigation to a neighboring source.

  • Effectively remediated contaminant plumes to allow unrestricted use of property.
