Significant chlorinated solvent soil and groundwater contamination was discovered underlying a historic dry cleaning operation in New York. Reliance utilized its vast dry cleaner and chlorinated solvent experience to quickly characterize, assess and remediate the site.
process
- Plumes were co-mingled with a gasoline/VOC plume from a neighboring property. 
- Reliance successfully approached the State regulatory authority to assign liabilities to the appropriate responsible parties. 
- Innovatively used different remedial technologies to remediate plume as the chlorinated solvents decayed in the subsurface. 
- Our remedial approach reduced long-term remedial costs, minimized operational disturbances, and reached the remedial objectives. 
results
- No loss of revenue during characterization, assessment and remediation efforts. 
- Successfully deflected ownership of a gasoline plume discovered during Reliance’s investigation to a neighboring source. 
- Effectively remediated contaminant plumes to allow unrestricted use of property.
