Because ERC cares about your time, while the investigation is underway, ERC will proceed with the careful excavation and removal of the source of contamination, as to halt further spread. Following the removal of the source, ERC will conduct a visual inspection of the site as well as sample collection of the soil which will be sent out for testing according to EPA and NJDEP standards, to determine the degree of contamination. Dependent upon the presence of groundwater, testing will also be completed to provide verification of the integrity of the groundwater. Historical investigation, source removal, and testing are all covered by the ERC flat rate, with no hidden fees.
