Understanding Hydro-Carbon Soil
What Is Hydro-Carbon Soil?
Hydro-carbon soil is a contaminated soil (saturated or soaked). This soil could be contaminated with:
- Fossil fuels (diesel, gas, oil)
- Hazardous materials (pesticides, radon, asbestos, lead, chromated copper arsenate, creosote)
from a site, acreage, farm, commercial, industrial, or residential backyard. Whatever the soil is contaminated with it requires an immediate clean-up! This is because contaminated soil affects all humans and wildlife through inhalation, ingestion, or dermal contact. The contaminated soil seen on the surface over time leaches down into the natural water stream, plants, and surrounding land, which lasts for a very long time. This contaminated soil can affect drinking water, air quality, soil erosion (plants and crops dying), and more.
Who Can Clean-Up The Hydro-Carbon Soil?
At Allan’s, we are certified in contaminated soil cleanup and environmental remediation services to ensure the safe removal of hazardous soil. We also offer restoration services to return the area to its natural state by replacing the contaminated soil. Please contact one of our representatives to learn more about our soil removal services.
What Is The Process Of Removing The Hydro-Carbon Soil?
First, a certified professional must collect soil samples from multiple locations to ensure thorough documentation of the entire area, including surrounding spots, to identify which parts are contaminated and which are not. These samples are then sent to a soil testing lab to analyze for hydrocarbons, creosote, PCBs, or other contaminants based on the suspected pollution. Depending on the type of contamination, the soil will be sent to the appropriate disposal facility. For us to dispose of your hydro-carbon/contaminated soil, testing must be done first with a report stating what the soil is contaminated with.
Why Need A Hydro-Carbon Soil Bin?
If the piece of land has contaminated soil the soil needs to be remediated. For the soil to be remediated means returning it to its natural state and removing all hazardous materials from the soil. This is so that the site can be used in the future by whoever owns the site, protecting the owner and the environment. Leaving contaminated soil on the property is bad as the owner will be fined by the Environmental Protection Agency and will stop any operations that are currently happening on-site until the soil is remediated.
Who Needs A Hydro-Carbon Soil Bin?
Anyone who has contaminated soil on their property and wants to use/sell/rent/loan their property.
