Scope of UST/AST Services Provided by ECS
ECS provides tank removal and oversight for the closure or repair and site characterization of damaged, inactive or outdated UST/AST systems at commercial, industrial, municipal and school district-owned buildings and residential home heating oil sites throughout the United States. Before closure, ECS notifies and obtains approval of work plans from state agencies (KDHE, MDNR and PSTIF) prior to site closure or remediation activities to improve the chances of closure and/or reimbursement without multiple mobilizations. When petroleum-impacted soil is encountered, ECS can assist the owner in notifying state environmental regulators and negotiates authorization to perform interim remedial activities such as contaminated soil or water removal. The amount of contaminated soil removed is generally dictated by state guidelines at UST sites.
