Site Characterization and Remediation

Since 2001, our staff of scientists and consultants has successfully remediated dozens of petroleum and hazardous substance release sites in Pittsburgh and the tri-state area. Many of these sites were remediated in accordance with the Pennsylvania Land Recycling Act (Act 2), providing liability protection to our clients. CORE’s technical staff includes professional geologists (PG) and licensed remediation specialists (LRS) who are familiar with navigating the complex corrective action processes in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Since underground storage tank (UST) regulations began in the 1980s, over 568,000 UST releases have been reported across the United States. CORE has developed significant experience in the management of UST systems, and is well-suited to aid clients through the often-complicated regulatory process associated with these tanks. We offer services ranging from determining responsibility of abandoned USTs to developing and implementing cost-effective remedial solutions.

Effective clean-up and remediation of contaminated sites is critical to ongoing business success and to the overall health of our communities and the environment. CORE provides business solutions by carefully analyzing your particular objectives and designing a remedial approach to efficiently meet those needs. Time constraints, life cycle costs, corporate image, and your specific final plans for use of the contaminated site are all vital to the efficient solution to your remediation needs.
