Remediation Project Examples
Petroleum Terminal Redevelopment
Port Washington, NY
Client: Champion
Energy and Stop & Shop Supermarket Co.
Description:
Champion Energy Corporation hired Triton in 1997
to assist them as they began to divest
themselves of numerous properties located
throughout Connecticut and New York. These
properties (including the Port Washington, NY
site) were active bulk petroleum terminals, many
of which were strategic waterfront sites.
Champion’s objective was to capitalize on the
high value of these waterfront properties by
preparing them for sale and redevelopment.
Triton was intimately involved with the
environmental provisions of contract
negotiations, comprehensive environmental
assessments, facility demolition, and complete
remediation of these properties.
Role: Conducted
environmental site assessments, soil and
groundwater investigation, decommissioning and
dismantling of petroleum storage and
distribution equipment, demolition of
structures, public outreach presentations and
remediation of site to NYDEC standards.
The principal source areas were excavated or
remediated using a combination of an air
sparging/soil vapor extraction (AS/VE) system,
and enhanced bioremediation. The residual
dissolved-phase impacts to groundwater were
monitored. In order to fully evaluate
remaining impacts to groundwater, Triton
conducted an Exposure Assessment in accordance
with NYDEC guidelines. The NYDEC recently
issued a “No Further Action” letter for the
site, providing closure to this successful
project.
