PETROLEUM RELATED PROJECTS

Earth Data Incorporated has established itself as a leader in conducting hydrogeologic investigations and providing solutions for a wide variety of contaminated sites. Many of these studies have involved leaking underground storage tanks, bulk storage facility operations and surface spills resulting in subsurface petroleum contamination. Earth Data has successfully completed petroleum investigations for private, commercial, industrial and governmental clients throughout the eastern United States. Our clients have benefited from our experience and commitment to using sound hydrogeologic practices to define and solve contaminant problems.  Earth Data Incorporated's professional staff has been involved in some of the earliest efforts in the United States to determine the magnitude and extent of petroleum related groundwater contamination. Projects have included investigations and assessments of contamination in a wide variety of geologic terrains from upland fractured rock areas to the unconsolidated coastal plain.

Our professional staff performs investigations of multi-phase subsurface contamination from preliminary assessments through remedial investigations to corrective action. This includes all aspects of field work, data collection, analysis and recommendations required for site closure.

documentation

Earth Data Incorporated not only provides the technical expertise to identify, evaluate and solve soil and groundwater problems, but also presents the results of the investigations in a comprehensive format easily understood by both professionals and laymen. In addition, Earth Data Incorporated makes every effort to include in its investigation reports applicable information required by the regulatory agency. Presenting a complete investigation report will ultimately save money by expediting the regulatory process involved in the investigation of groundwater contamination.
