NEED HELP. Have 5,000cy of Petroleum Contaminated Soil that I need to remediate. The soil is clay with a HIGH PI, upper end of TEPH is 134,000 mg/kg. How effective and costly would thermal soil treatment process be? How effective and time consuming will landfarming be? Site located near Boulder CO. Are there anyother options out there? Time is a concern. Thanks

Give this firm a call and visit their website:
They performed a fast-track remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil in upstate New York for me a few years ago, with remarkable success. Soils had high clay content, requiring some drying with lime, etc. Gasoline components were reduced below NYSDEC action levels in short time. Good group of people to work with.

I need some help, I will be operating a Soiltek soil remediation unit to clean up a petroleum contaminated site, and can't find an operators manual anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find one for this unit or a similar unit? Thanks!
