TRI STATE RESPONDS

Heating oil is essential for keeping homes warm during colder months, but when spills occur, they can pose a significant environmental hazard. A residential heating oil spill—whether due to a tank leak, improper fuel transfer, or an accidental overfill—needs immediate attention to prevent serious damage to both property and the environment.

Disposing of hazardous waste responsibly is not just a legal obligation but a duty to the community and the environment. Failure to handle this waste correctly can lead to widespread damage, affecting ecosystems, human health, and the economy. Tri State responds 24/7 to hazardous waste incidents.

Heating oil tanks, particularly older ones installed underground, have been a common method for homeowners to heat their homes for decades. However, many of these tanks, especially those that are aging or neglected, can pose significant environmental, financial, and health risks if they begin to leak. If you have a leaking underground heating oil tank, it's crucial to address it immediately.

Petroleum-impacted commercial properties can present various health and environmental hazards. As gasoline, diesel, or heating oil degrades, it can migrate through soils and groundwater, posing risks to humans and the environment. Tri-State Environmental Services specializes in the large-scale abandonment and removal of underground and aboveground petroleum storage tanks.

We manage critical environmental issues daily, from initial assessment and strategy development to actively addressing the problems. Our responses vary widely and involve collaboration with federal, state, municipal authorities, or the responsible parties for contamination. Our ultimate goal is to protect human health by preventing hazards and ensuring that spills are promptly addressed and contained to avoid further release of hazardous materials into soils and waterways. With our state-of-the-art response equipment and highly trained staff, we ensure minimal response times for commercial projects, adhering to all regulations and guidelines.

When a leak from a tank system is detected, Tri-State will carry out remediation with integrity. This involves field screening throughout the excavation process, documenting all data, and only removing the affected portion. Removing contaminated soil to a practical extent is essential, adhering to all governing agencies' requirements, which may vary based on factors like groundwater depth, proximity to water supplies, and other criteria.

When Tri-State Environmental is contracted to remediate large amounts of hazardous or petroleum waste that may have contaminated groundwater, we use well gauging equipment, such as oil-water interface probes, to collect data from each site and well. This provides a long-term record of the presence, location, and measurable amounts of hazardous or petroleum-based compounds within the wells.

Addressing remediation on a larger scale can be time-consuming and financially demanding. Before initiating the process, reach out to Tri-State Environmental for guidance. We can walk you through the necessary steps, inform you of expected outcomes, and help you navigate potential pitfalls along the way.

Contaminated soils possess the potential to release harmful toxic substances and petroleum compounds into surrounding ground or surface waters as they degrade. Upon being tasked with the remediation of substantial volumes of hazardous or petroleum waste, Tri-State Environmental conducts comprehensive data collection at each site, documenting information from individual wells. This approach enables the establishment of a comprehensive and enduring record detailing the presence, location, and levels of hazardous or petroleum-based substances and compounds within the wells, ensuring thorough monitoring and management.
