FAQ

Why is regular testing of soil important?

Regular testing of soil is crucial to identify contamination early and take appropriate action. This is especially important if you’re growing food or if there are farms nearby, as contaminated soil can have far-reaching effects on agriculture and the environment. Acting quickly in case of contamination is essential to prevent further damage.

What are the risks associated with PFAS in contaminated soil?

PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) can accumulate in humans and non-human organisms, leading to significant health risks. They are considered endocrine disruptors and can cause various health issues including liver and thyroid problems, reproductive issues, kidney and testicular cancer, and an increased risk of birth defects. Proper disposal of PFAS-contaminated soil is crucial to prevent further environmental contamination and protect public health.

What are the disposal options for contaminated soil?

The disposal options for contaminated soil vary depending on whether the soil is hazardous or non-hazardous. Options include reuse in residential or non-residential applications, recycling, landfill disposal, RCRA/TSCA treatment, and incineration. The choice of disposal method depends on the soil’s waste classification, contaminants present, and local environmental regulations.

How do contaminated soil disposal services work?

Professional soil disposal services identify and transport contaminated soil to appropriate disposal facilities, which may sometimes be out of state. These services are equipped to handle various types of contaminants and comply with environmental regulations. They offer solutions like soil bioremediation, venting, creation of impermeable soil, soil solidification, and vapor extraction.
