SOIL CONTAMINATION solutions You suspect it...or perhaps its the result of an assessment or audit. Either way, soil contamination should be looked into immediately. Our first step is a geologic investigation to determine the source and extent of vertical and horizontal migration. Many people do not realize that many contaminants will biodegrade naturally. That can range from a few months to a few thousand years. Action Environmental uses modeling software that will determine this length of time. This may save business thousands of dollars in wasted efforts. After this modeling, it may be determined that the attenuation method is simply barrier wall construction, coupled with additional source removal, to significantly reduce the presence of contaminants in soils over time. Dependent upon the type of contaminant (i.e. hydrocarbons, metals, etc.) there are several alternatives available for the cleanup of contaminated soils: Active Bioremediation Thermal Desorption for organics Fixation for metals Phyto-remediation - specific vegetation used for the uptake of pollutants Homogenization - chisel plowing and rototilling of soils in preparation for planting of select vegetation Read about a recent project which involved leaking underground storage tanks.
