The site of this 36-acre property is a former coal tar processing facility that manufactured road tars, cresols, phenols, and cresylic acid with operations starting in the late 1800’s to 1983. Project objectives include the completion on-site soil remediation and the implementation of a long-term groundwater remediation strategy within regulatory timeframes for the site.
Geosyntec was retained by a confidential client to remediate a 37-acre former manufacturing facility in Newark, New Jersey.
The STAR technology was applied as the primary remedy to achieve regulatory closure at a 37-acre former industrial facility in Newark, NJ. Both a surficial fill unit (ground surface to ~10 ft bgs) and an alluvial sand unit (~10-40 ft bgs), impacted with residual and free-phases of coal tar from the historic operations at the site, were remediated via smoldering combustion.
