Harvard Clinic UST Closure and NFR Letter

Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC) collaborated with the Community Health Partnership of Illinois to manage the closure of a 1,000-gallon heating oil underground storage tank (UST) at 42 N. Ayer Street, Harvard, Illinois. They oversaw the removal and regulatory reporting for a UST system release, ultimately resulting in a No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter from the IEPA. Following UST removal, the OSFM inspected the UST basin and tank, confirming a release. SPC reported the release to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), which issued an incident report. They submitted required reports, including a 20-Day and 45-Day Report, to the IEPA.

Lab results showed all parameters were below the most restrictive levels, except for naphthalene in a sample collected below the eastern part of the UST. SPC then delineated the contamination extent, developed a remedial action plan, and collected soil samples. They directed soil removal and collected confirmation samples to meet Illinois regulations. SPC prepared a LUST Corrective Action Completion Report, leading the IEPA to issue an NFR letter for the UST release.

SPC's swift action and management of the situation underscored its efficiency and reputation for quality environmental consulting services.
