NJDEP Cleanup Star Projects
Multiple Locations, New Jersey

Project Description:

Holmdel, New Jersey: This Cleanup Star project included the removal of one 550 gallon heating oil UST that had leaked and impacted soil in the vicinity of the tank. Contaminated soil was excavated and transported off site for treatment/disposal, and a groundwater investigation was initiated per NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation. A groundwater monitor well was installed and sampled, documenting that groundwater conditions had not been impacted by the leaking UST. This information was submitted to NJDEP under the Cleanup Star program, and a NFA letter was received within one week of submittal.

Bridgeport, New Jersey: Several NJDEP spill cases had been reported for this site in association with diesel fuel overfills at a dispenser island associated with an operating trucking company. Whitestone collected surface and subsurface soil samples immediately surrounding the dispenser island and documented that soil conditions were not impacted by the surficial spills. This information was submitted to NJDEP under the Cleanup Star program, and a NFA letter was obtained within one week of submittal. Receipt of this NFA letter allowed Whitestone's client to receive funds that had been held in an escrow account from the sale of the property.

Basking Ridge, New Jersey: This Cleanup Star project included the remediation of petroleum contaminated soils associated with the release from a 550 gallon residential heating oil UST. The UST had been removed from the subject property prior to Whitestone's involvement in the project as a condition of the sale of property. Upon documenting the petroleum release from the UST, Whitestone was retained to conduct the contaminated soil remediation and subsurface evaluation activities required in accordance with NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation in order to obtain an expedited NFA letter and allow the property transaction to occur. A NFA letter was received from NJDEP within two weeks of submittal of the appropriate remediation documentation, and the owner was able to close on the property as schedule.

Berkeley, New Jersey: This Cleanup Star project included the removal of two 1,000 gallon unregulated heating oil USTs that were encountered during earthwork activities at this proposed retail development. Whitestone was retained to conduct UST closure and associated contaminated soil removal at the site as these USTs were located in an area preventing further grading activities at the property. Subsequent to completion of UST closure, contaminated soil excavation, and subsurface evaluation activities, a NFA letter was received from NJDEP within two weeks of report submittal. Receipt of the expedited NFA allowed earthwork activities to commence with minimal impact to the construction schedule.
