Underground Storage Tanks

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Services in Portland

Providing Free UST Consults Across the Portland Metro Area

DECOMISSION METHODS

Decommission methods include abandonment in place or complete removal. Abandonment in place is a strategy in which the tank is legally decommissioned without requiring complete removal. This is the most common method of closing a tank case. In the event of a complete removal, the tank is pulled out of the ground and hauled to the recycling center. This is usually called for when a structure is to be developed over the tank area or when a site is to be repurposed and causes up to seven tons of soil displacement.

RELEASE INVESTIGATIONS

If a UST release is discovered, a working strategy will be developed to meet regulatory standards while managing financial impact to the responsible party. Environmental Works is made up of a team of experts highly skilled in the use of progressive investigation strategies for evaluating free product, groundwater, soil and soil gas.

SITE CLOSURES

Implementing the response to a release takes heavy machinery and the transport of soil by the ton. When it’s time to remediate, our Environmental Remediation Teams get to work. The first step is to develop a site model that justifies the optimum Risk Based Corrective Action approach. From a cost perspective, the preferable approach is Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA). If site conditions aren’t favorable to MNA we work with you to define priorities such as time, cost, cash flow and/or regulatory buy-in, for corrective action then identify and apply optimum methods & techniques.

Radon Free because of this awesome company!!!”

Michelle M.

“I've been using Environmental Works for years because they're great, and I just discovered something else they do very well--classes to educate homeowners and real estate professionals about the risks and various factors affecting homes. Joel, one of the owners, did a very thorough and fascinating presentation to a group of seasoned Realtors in our office--and all were blown away by his great communication and advocacy. I highly recommend Environmental Works as educational research for anyone involved in home ownership.”

Corey E.

“Both the managing and the on-site staff who actually installed the radon mitigation system were easy to work with. Specifically, I found them to be easy to communicate with and that they listened to my concerns. I was also very pleased in how they were able to route the mitigation system around obstacles in my laundry room so the piping receded as far back into the corner as possible.”

Diedra C.

“I truly would recommend this company to anyone- specifically because of the customer service and value I received having Joe come on site. Joe at Environmental Works went way above and beyond helping me locate a very a hard to find tank in the backyard. He came back on site twice to get the job done and I could not be more thankful for his time. I truly would recommend this company to anyone- specifically because of the customer service and value I received having Joe come on site. 10/10, amazing company to work with!”
