Najarian Associates provides emergency response services for hazardous waste spills and leaking underground storage tanks.  For example, our firm conducted emergency response measures as part of an interagency emergency response team  (along with staff of the U.S. Coast Guard, Monmouth County Health Department, Red Bank Fire Department and state/local police).  The goal of these measures was to address potential impacts due to leaking underground storage tanks at a former gasoline station located adjacent to the environmentally sensitive Navesink River Estuary. 

As the engineering consultants for the project, our firm initiated emergency measures, including: (1) placement of booms, absorbent pads, and vapor control equipment; (2) removal of four underground storage tanks; and (3) excavation of contaminated site soils.  The project was then referred to the NJDEP Bureau of Underground Storage Tanks for long-term remediation. 

Another fast-tracked remediation project was conducted by our firm at a corporate headquarters construction site.  Here, an underground storage tank system was discovered during construction, and NJDEP was notified of a possible spill of petroleum product.  Though no groundwater contamination was detected, contaminated soil was delineated, excavated and transported off-site for final disposal.  The entire process of NJDEP approval, tank removal, liquid-waste disposal, and delineation/disposal of contaminated soil was expedited to allow the contractor to meet his regular construction schedule.
