Provided ECAS and A/E services in support of HTRW programs for the Savannah District
Corps of Engineers under an IDIQ contract. Project services included initial site investigations and assessments, hazard evaluations, field inspections, environmental assessments, remedial site investigations, engineering studies and reports, UST investigation and safety documents, community relations support, environmental permitting and regulatory compliance, soil and groundwater sampling and analyses, monitoring wells installations, geophysical studies, topographic surveys and applications of DOD
specifications. Examples or projects on which PEM provided these services include:
Contamination Assessment and Contamination Assessment Report at a former Military
Facility, Jacksonville, Florida (DERP-FUDS Project). Conducted a Contamination
Assessment and preparing a Contamination Assessment Report to determine whether
“no further action,” a “monitoring only” or “continued investigations with a risk assessment and remedial action plan” applies. The site that was investigated was utilized as an underground storage tank farm that contained 11 USTs and associated pipelines. PEM executed the following tasks during the conduct of the project:
 Prepared a Contamination Assessment Work Plan. (Site Health and Safety Plan,
Chemical Data Acquisition Plan/Quality Assurance Plan, Geologic Data Acquisition Plan,
Data Management Plan and Community Relations Plan) for Corps approval prior to initiating site activities.
Contamination Assessment activities consisting o the following:
 Obtaining all permits and licenses prior to the start of any work. Soil gas surveys to assist in identifying location for soil borings. Soil borings to delineate contaminant plumes.
Monitoring well installations to delineate contaminant plumes around the perimeter of the tank farm.
Topographic Surveys to show the location of the UST site and associated pipelines, utilities, etc.
 Sample Analysis and Validation

Prepared a Contaminant Assessment Report (CAR) outlining our findings and recommendations.
The CAR addressed issues in Florida’s Environmental Protection Division’s “Petroleum
Contamination Site Cleanup Criteria” such as, assessments of the fate and transport of identified contaminants, assess the nature and extent of on-site contaminants, evaluated the potential for health and environmental impact from each contaminated site, identified action levels (Als) and
Media Cleanup Standards (MCS) required for each site, evaluated site data and listed the criteria that determined the need for further action at the site.

Remove/Replace and/or Upgrade USTs, North Carolina
US Army Engineer District Savannah
100 West Oglethorpe Avenue
P.O. Box 889
Savannah, GA 31402
Prepared project design (including bid specifications) for the removal, replacement and/or upgrade of 32 underground fuel storage tanks (USTs) throughout a DOD facility in North
Carolina. The fuel tanks ranged in sizes from 550-25,000 gallons. To facilitate generation of accurate engineering designs (UST location, size, contents, past usage), environmental considerations, and compliance with local/state regulations.Cconducted on site investigations and studies that included geophysical surveys to identify/locate buried tanks, topographic surveys to show locations of the UST sites associated piping etc., field sampling (using a geoprobe) to identify leaking USTs and to address required remedial action in the specifications. Assembled a team of specialists consisting of electrical engineers, civil engineers, geophysicists, geologists, industrial hygienists and site technicians, to conduct the site activities.
Prepared construction drawings and specifications for tanks requiring replacement/upgrade. Prepared and amended as was necessary, closure plans according to applicable USEPA and State RCRA/regulations. Each UST site was addressed individually and was addressed as it pertained to 40 CFR 280 “Technical
Standards and Corrective Action Requirements for Operators of Underground Storage
Tanks, North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A Subchapter 2N; 40 CFR 112; NFPA
30; 30A;31; 70.” Cost estimates were prepared using M-CASES Gold version. Prior to beginning site activities. Also prepared a Site Health and Safety Plan and a Chemical
Data Acquisition for Corps approval.
