AquaTek Environmental Consulting
Hoboken, New Jersey
AquaTek was retained by a prominent New Jersey developer and mortgage lender to complete an environmental assessment and remediation program at one of its large property holdings in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey. The tract consisted of one entire city block that had a very long history of industrial and commercial operations. AquaTek negotiated an innovative remedial plan for the site with the NJDEP which included allowance for maintaining the existence of contaminated soil secured through a variety of engineering controls integrated within the planned construction for the site. Working in conjunction with a tight construction schedule for the site, AquaTek was able to complete the required work without creating any delays to the redevelopment and enabled steady financial viability to the developer as a result of several episodes of NJDEP approvals for AquaTek 's work. Simultaneous to the completion of the construction phase of the developer's project, AquaTek obtained an NFA determination for groundwater from NJDEP and sealed all of the monitoring wells that had been installed as part of a large network of groundwater monitoring points across the site.

AquaTek was retained by the owner of a large commercial property in Kearny, Hudson County, New Jersey to address PCB contamination that had been detected previously by a potential buyer for the site. During AquaTek's work it was discovered through soil excavation and sampling and historical research of local records and aerial photographs, that a significant source of PCB's had historically existed at the site. Utilizing its thorough knowledge and capabilities in both the state and federal requirements for addressing PCB's, AquaTek successfully negotiated with the USEPA approval for a combination of soil removal and in-situ maintenance of PCB-contaminated soil existing throughout the site.

On behalf of a residential real estate developer in Hudson County, New Jersey, AquaTek implemented a soil and groundwater investigation and remediation plan that employed a cost-effective approach to address NJDEP requirements. Utilizing a sophisticated sampling matrix over the multi-acre site, AquaTek simultaneously evaluated and remediated soil contaminated with a wide variety of compounds, including heavy metals and PCBs. In addition, AquaTek completed an assessment of the groundwater beneath the site and successfully determined that the detected contamination originated from an unknown upgradient and offsite source. AquaTek 's work enabled the developer to produce construction plans that accommodated the residual contamination allowed to remain beneath the site.
