Today, the issue is not only protecting water sources, but also finding & permitting them.  Schreuder, Inc. provides cost-effective, creative & customized solutions to water use/reuse & environmental issues facing you.

     In the construction phase, hydrocarbon contamination of soil and groundwater were discovered during a geotechnical investigation for the South Parking garage at Tampa International Airport (TIA). This 8-level parking facility is south of the Main Terminal.  A Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) was prepared and submitted to Florida Department of Environmental Regulation and Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission, describing the horizontal and vertical extent of the contamination of the soils and groundwater by unleaded hydrocarbons from petroleum storage and transfer facilities.  This CAR further provided baseline data for the development of the Remedial Action Plan (RAP).  Both the CAR & RAP were prepared by Schreuder.

     SI designed and developed a groundwater extraction and treatment system to deal with the contamination.  First, recovery wells were installed in the contaminated groundwater plumes.  An in-place stormwater sewer was removed and filled in to intercept contaminated groundwater.  The groundwater from this trench would drain and be captured from one of the recovery wells.  The other recovery well would incorporate the use of an air-sparging treatment system to optimize for free product recovery.
