Environmental Enlightenment #117

By Ami Adini - May 20, 2005


This is a SHORT, LIGHT and SIMPLE newsletter. Its purpose is to rekindle in the initiated terminology they have once learned, and enlighten the uninitiated on terms they may have heard but never known the meaning of.

The End of Endless Cleanup

With some exceptions, the following statements are mostly true:

It takes years to clean up a leaking petroleum underground
storage tank site.

 

It takes years to clean up groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents.

It takes years to clean up soil and groundwater contaminated from industrial sites.

And in the end, it seldom cleans up to native state.



Here are the good news:

The above statements are mostly no
longer true.

There are cutting edge technologies being introduced that are raising the environmental cleanup field to unprecedented heights of achievement:

  • Sites that took years to clean up can now be handled in a matter of weeks, few months at the most — and back to background levels.
  • Sites that were considered beyond repair now have hope.

If you have a case in mind, give us a call. We’ll be happy to guide you.

Call me if you've got any questions. There are no obligations.
