Our completed projects vary widely in size and budget. Following is a list of projects where total compliance was achieved for our clients:
Superfund Responsible Party Cleanup
Greene Landfill, Greene, Ohio

Greene Landfill is a Superfund site contaminated with various volatile compounds and poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Our team of professionals assisted in stabilizing landfill conditions and conducted a pilot study to treat the PCB-contaminated sludge. The study resulted in a site-specific Treatability procedure. Our site-specific treatment technology provided our client with approximately $4 million in cost savings over a dig-and-haul option.

Remediation of Volatiles Compounds and Solvents
Town of Middlebury, Elkhart County, Indiana
See Project Info
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.

Leaking Tank Cleanup & Main Aquifer Rehab
Marathon of Valparaiso, Valparaiso, Indiana
See Project Info
This is a leaking underground storage tank site that consisted of contaminated subsurface soil and groundwater. The main aquifer in the area of the site was heavily contaminated with petroleum fractions. Two major consultants failed to bring remedy after six years of cleanup operations. Our team assumed responsibilities in 2000 and we assisted our client by conducting calibrated plume fate & transport models. Based on our accurate understanding of the subsurface, we devised a site-specific remedial technology. Our cost-effective and timely remedial design and implementation prevented the arrival of contaminants at nearby drinking water wells. Our team eliminated the client’s liability and provided substantial protection to the public health and the environment.
