Remediation of Volatiles Compounds and Solvents           

Town of Middlebury, Elkhart County, Indiana

The Middlebury EMS site included volatile organic and solvent contaminated subsurface soils and groundwater in the heart of this small town. The initial investigation and cleanup effort was started by a major consultant who failed to bring remedy and closure to the site. In 2000, after an expenditure of approximately $385,000 of taxpayer dollars, Superior Environmental was invited by the town to troubleshoot the remediation process. Our team brought full closure to the site location and it is now used as children's playground in a public park.
