Soil and Groundwater Remediation for the Department of Defense
Proven Experience on Complex Government and DoD Sites Ensures Safe and Effective Solutions.
What are you interested in remediating?
Thanks to its unique formulation and delivery method, PetroFix streamlines petroleum cleanups while minimizing cost and effort. Key advantages include:
Petroleum Hydrocarbon Treatment for DoD
With increased frequency, Base Environmental Managers are turning to REGENESIS for preemptive remedial solutions to mitigate Petroleum Hydrocarbons before they form extensive groundwater plumes with the potential to impact downstream receptors. REGENESIS offers the most advanced technologies to degrade Petroleum Hydrocarbons contaminants.
Chlorinated Solvent Treatment for DoD
With increased frequency, Defense Environmental Restoration Program Managers are turning to REGENESIS for preemptive remedial solutions to mitigate Chlorinated Solvents before they form extensive groundwater plumes with the potential to impact downstream receptors. REGENESIS offers the most advanced technologies to remove Chlorinated Solvents and prevent exposure risk.
PFAS Treatment for DoD
With increased frequency, Environmental Remediation Officers are turning to REGENESIS for preemptive remedial solutions to mitigate PFAS before they form extensive groundwater plumes with the potential to impact downstream receptors. REGENESIS offers the most advanced technologies to remove PFAS (i.e., Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in groundwater and prevent downstream PFAS exposure risk.

Environmental Approaches & Solutions
Approaches
Soil and groundwater remediation solutions may include the following: extensive source area treatment, free product removal, large dissolved-phase plume strategies, mixed plume treatment, down-gradient barriers, soil mixing, handling and treatment, excavations, biopiles, trenches, metals immobilization (specific to hex-chrome).
Solutions
These solutions can be achieved using well-documented, proven and cost-effective in situ approaches such as in situ chemical oxidation, enhanced anaerobic biodegradation, enhanced aerobic biodegradation and metals reduction.

FAQs about Department of Defense Sites
What are the particular risks at a DoD site?
Sites formerly occupied by the DoD often have soil and groundwater impacts related to military activities such as fuel dispensing, transport and storage, vehicle/aircraft maintenance, munitions use, landfilling, and the tactical use of herbicides and pesticides. Contaminants commonly found on DoD sites include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals, fuels, explosives, and inorganic compounds such as asbestos, arsenic, pesticides, and herbicides. These compounds pose a risk to both human health and the surrounding environment.
What should we do if we detect soil and groundwater contamination at our DoD site?
As with the discovery of any environmental impact, the first step should be to immediately address any risk to human health or sensitive ecological site receptors. Once any immediate threats are mitigated, a longer-term remedial plan can be developed in compliance with federal, state, and local requirements. These plans should be developed in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as state and local regulatory bodies. Communication with the local community should also be considered, with the encouragement of public comment as necessary.
Are there added dangers in cleaning up a DoD site?
While most environmental contamination can pose health hazards due to toxicity, the types of contaminant found on DoD sites can pose additional risks. For example, military munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) are unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other hazardous munitions materials left behind after live-fire training or testing, open burning and detonation, and burial could cause physical harm if dealt with irresponsibly. Besides the obvious danger of explosions, there can also be deleterious effects from exposure to chemical warfare agents or other hazardous substances in the munitions.
