Environmental remediation

Our remediation success stories include cleanup of hazardous waste dumps, groundwater cleanups of chlorinated solvents at active industrial sites, and removal of PCBs from stormwater infrastructure.

Past disposal and releases must be addressed so that the land can be put back into productive use.  Cardinal Resources moves rapidly to evaluate and remediate their client’s property.  The solution may be a simple action or a more complex cleanup using a variety of techniques to reach a successful solution.  Cardinal Resources can handle it all.  Our staff has designed and installed active and passive groundwater and soil treatment systems and developed innovative green infrastructure solutions to surface water pollution. Cardinal Resources uses all the available information in the remedial design and directs assessment activities toward the clean-up.  Sufficient data is collected to evaluate the remedial options and select the most cost-effective, practical solution that meets the remediation goals based on:

  • Contaminant types, sources, and levels

  • Contaminant fate and transport

  • On-site and off-site structures

  • Regulatory programs

  • Current and future use of the property and neighboring properties

Stormwater runoff from this uncontrolled industrial site polluted a nearby river with mud and ash

Cardinal Resources designed a green infrastructure stormwater retention system to collect and settle muddy water before slowly discharging clean water to the river

Native vegetation was used to stabilize the area and improve water quality
