Solution

Après avoir utilisé des méthodes d’enquête à détection directe et des échantillonnages ciblés du sol et des eaux souterraines pour déterminer l’étendue de la contamination par le pétrole, TRC a déterminé que son système breveté de bouchon de piégeage des liquides de phase non aqueuse (NAPL) était le moyen le plus réalisable et le plus rentable de contenir le flux de pétrole brut du puits.

Résultat

Le système de collecte passive n’a pris que cinq semaines. L’eau et le rivage ont été restaurés et la communauté locale est en mesure de profiter de cette ressource naturelle une fois de plus.

While a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a common method for identifying environmental liabilities during transactional due diligence, the ASTM International standard for Phase I ESAs (E1527-13, with proposed E1527-21 awaiting adoption) omits regulatory compliance from its scope. For properties containing operations that may be applicable to environmental compliance regulations, performing a limited environmental regulatory review can identify potential deficiencies with the environmental management of the facility. A limited environmental compliance review typically evaluates the presence of material findings that may exist in a facility’s management of its environmental compliance requirements. Material findings are defined as a condition of non-compliance that could necessitate expenditures, not including attorney fees or regulatory agency penalties, in excess of a specified dollar amount or materiality threshold. The materiality threshold is based on the client’s risk tolerance and is often in the range of $50,000. However, this amount is arbitrary and can be revised as appropriate. Non-material deficiencies, those identified below the materiality threshold, would still require action but are within the client’s risk tolerance.
