Soil remediation is the improvement of soil quality by assisting in the development of its natural structure.

A contaminated site under TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) and MOE (Ministry of Environment) regulations must be assessed and remediated to it’s organic state via many applications an example is Soil Vapour Extraction which is applied through placement of vapour extraction wells connected through a vacuum system to suck volatile hydrocarbons from the soil. This application is placed over a period of time.

Another option is the removal of contaminated soil, which is than transported to a registered MOE (Ministry of Environment) disposal site. The soil remaining at the project site is then tested for remaining contamination, a report and test results will follow to determine if more excavation is necessary.
 
A phase 1 environmental site assessment will usually be taken to determine the history of land use, the ownership and or tenants involved.

When an underground storage tank is considered to be leaking, product should be removed quickly. Geotank will properly manage the situation with a phase 2 environmental site assessment to confirm the presence of contamination in the soil.

A phase 3 environmental site assessment will be required if unacceptable levels of contamination were found. An investigation through lab reports will be done, a report will be sought out to determine if the site will cause harm to humans and wildlife during remediation. The Cost and legal issues will also be determined during this phase.
