Where do we go from here?  Good question; it’s going to be a mess.

All those sites that are in remediation or monitoring solely due to the presence of TPH-GRO and TPH-DRO/ERO in groundwater should be eligible for closure now.  Those sites that closed in the last few years with an Environmental Restrictive Covenant (ERC) due to potential TPH-in-groundwater exposure should be eligible for unrestricted industrial or residential No Further Action (NFA) closure.

For help with sites that have been in regulatory purgatory, or closed with restrictions due to TPH in groundwater. Please contact our office:  info@troyrisk.com

Mr. Berndt has worked on a wide variety of projects across the United States, Europe and South America for clients in both the public and private sectors. Mr. Berndt has both a BS and a MS from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and has been based in Indianapolis for most of his professional career. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Jim Berndt as a part of the Troy Risk staff and believe he will add significantly to our technical capabilities.

Successful Ceremony

The property’s long history of industrial use, and use by a dry-cleaning operation posed uncertainty about environmental conditions that stymied redevelopment. Troy Risk produced a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment that discovered potential sources of contamination affecting the property, then conducted an extensive soil and groundwater investigation of the potential sources using Troy Risk’s Geoprobe. This allowed KIBI to start construction.  Troy Risk’s work helped attorneys at Barnes and Thornburg secure the necessary comfort letter from IDEM.

On November 2, 2007, KIBI and Mayor Bart Peterson announced the successful resolution of the environmental investigation at a green-breaking ceremony. Troy Risk joined with other major supporters to help KIBI celebrate its new headquarters.

During the wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, our savvy environmental consultants gave equipment demonstrations and it was an exceptional opportunity to illustrate our appreciation for our customers continued confidence and trust in our business principals and environmental expertise.
