Neill and Gunter routinely uses computer modeling to assist our industrial clients in determining the impacts of process changes or equipment modifications on effluent streams. This allows process changes or equipment modifications to be completed more cost effectively and in full knowledge of the environmental impacts and cost implications of changes, before any are made.
For a Client in the northeastern US, Neill and Gunter utilized the MASSBAL program to predict the impact of their emission point on the surrounding environment, before modifying their process through the purchase of new equipment. This permitted engineering staff a cost effective option for adjusting the process and equipment specifications to alleviate the effects on the environment, before the equipment was actually purchased and installed. The result was an environmentally compliant and cost effective solution.
Neill and Gunter was retained to conduct an environmental review of a property, on behalf of a potential buyer prior to entering into a purchase agreement with the property owner.
A Phase I Environmental Assessment, including visual observations, interviews with the property owner and a historical review was conducted by the Neill and Gunter environmental team. This assessment determined that the property, a vacant lot, was the site of an abandoned service station that had operated for many years. As a result of the Phase I investigation, an intrusive Phase II assessment which included test pitting, boreholes, and a monitoring program, was conducted. This phase of the work concluded that hydrocarbon contamination existed, and was followed by a Phase III program to further delineate and quantify the problem.
Following the assessment phase, Neill and Gunter was commissioned to oversee the site remediation which involved transporting the majority of the contaminated soil to a treatment facility. One problematic area, situated adjacent to a residence, was addressed by installing a vapour extraction system and periodically injecting nutrients to foster natural degradation of the hydrocarbon by biological means. Neill and Gunter offers a variety of engineered remediation solutions for contaminated suites and has completed well over two hundred remediation projects.
A provincial government has mandated that municipal waste disposal sites be closed in an environmentally appropriate manner. Neill and Gunter developed and implemented a streamlined procedure for assessing, inspecting and preparing closure plans for sites cost effectively and to ensure the surrounding environment was not negatively impacted.
This work involved a well planned, phased approach to site assessment and preparation of closure plans, including: geotechnical assessment, ground and surface water sampling, review of historical records, and laboratory analysis. This approach has consistently resulted in thorough assessments completed in a timely fashion as well as effective closure plans that satisfied regulatory agencies and provided a high level of environmental protection.
Neill and Gunter has assessed and prepared closure plans for over 40 municipal disposal sites. This has ranged from simple closures conducted by municipal staff, to more complex closure projects in the order of $700, 000.
