The Entech Group Inc., a leading energy, engineering and environmental services company in NJ, advocates for the conversion of oil to natural gas. The environmental services company says now that winter is over, it’s the last thought on people’s minds. But according to Entech representatives, a break in the cold weather is an ideal time to make the switch.

Statewide incentives are still available for residents who switch to natural gas and some incentives are as much as $500. And, according to The Entech Group, natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes. It is an environmentally friendly solution for home heating that eliminates the environmental risks of a leaking oil tank. A leaking tank can be a source of soil and ground water contamination to neighboring homes and businesses, not just the home where the tank resides.

Environmental Services Company in NJ Says Now Is the Time to Switch

According to representatives from Entech, many people choose to wait for spring and summer to switch to natural gas, to avoid an interruption in heating service. Now that warmer weather is here, the environmental services company in NJ encourages residents to make the switch.

Homes with an existing underground oil tank can ask The Entech Group about their oil tank removal services. From beginning to end, the environmental services company in NJ will handle the entire process of oil tank removal and remediation, both underground and above ground, in a timely and cost effective manner while staying in accordance with environmental regulations.

Those who make the switch find that natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes. Over the past 10 years, natural gas prices have dropped to record lows, but heating oil prices have been steadily rising.

New Jersey energy companies are offering anywhere between $300 and $500 in incentives for qualifying energy efficient technologies. Some companies are offering more.  Imagine receiving a check for $500 in the mail simply for using an energy efficient appliance in the home.

There are many incentives in place for residents currently operating high efficiency gas heating systems.  For those who are not, now is an ideal time to switch from oil to natural gas.  The Entech Group Inc has helped many New Jersey homeowners heat their homes more efficiently. In areas where natural gas is not available, The Entech Group Inc can replace out of date oil heating equipment with newer, more efficient units.

Safer, More Efficient Heating and Cooling in New Jersey

Those who make the switch find that natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes.  Over the past 10 years, natural gas prices have dropped to record lows, but heating oil prices have been steadily rising. According to the NY Times, analysts do not expect oil prices to drop in the near future, mainly because of political instability in the Middle East and rising demand from developing countries.

For efficient heating and cooling in NJ, The Entech Group Inc provides complete HVAC services for residential and commercial customers.

In addition to the visible damage and destruction Hurricane Sandy left behind, hidden health hazards may exist at some clean up sites.  Environmental services companies in NJ like The Entech Group Inc., have implemented OSHA’s safety guidelines to keep all site workers safe during clean up efforts.  Homeowners are encouraged to review and implement the OSHA safety guidelines as well if they are participating in clean up efforts.

Environmental services companies in NJ working on Sandy relief efforts may be dealing with leaking oil tanks, vapors from contaminated floodwaters, contact with petroleum products, and more. The Entech Group Inc. in NJ has implemented the OSHA safety guidelines at their Sandy clean up and construction sites.  In fact, The Entech Group has their own company safety guidelines for their workers as well as their own OSHA certified and trained construction personnel.

New Jersey will receive part of a $51 million dollar Hurricane Sandy emergency relief package. The money will provide aid to people whose homes were damaged or destroyed, as well as to business owners who had heavy losses.

Hurricane Sandy left a path of destruction throughout the state of NJ, one that could pose potential threats to human health.  Homes and businesses in Sandy’s path may have been damaged by contaminated floodwaters, exposed to mold and/or left with structural damage.

Part of the Sandy relief package could be used to fund necessary environmental services for property owners.  They may be dealing with leaking oil tanks, vapors from contaminated floodwaters, contact with petroleum products, and more.

According to the environmental services company, the changes to Vapor Intrusion Screen Levels include an increase in the Groundwater Screening Levels for PCE, which will mean that many sites impacted by this compound may no longer have to take corrective action.

On the other hand, the new guidelines for some volatile organic compounds have decreased by several orders of magnitude, which means sites like gas stations and auto shops may now be required to address vapor intrusion issues.

The Entech Group Inc removes a leaking underground oil tank.

The Entech Group Inc., a leading energy, engineering and environmental services company in NJ, says that oil contamination at residential and commercial property is a rising occurrence since the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.  The Entech Group says that oil contamination in and around properties could have short and long-term human health consequences if not properly remediated.

Homes and businesses that suffered damage from Hurricane Sandy may be dealing with a possible oil contamination.  Floodwaters may have not only caused a heating oil tank to leak, but may have also transported petroleum tainted waters to residential and commercial properties as well. As floodwaters recede, residual petroleum materials may be left behind.  Residential and commercial property owners may notice odors where petroleum products have been in contact with lawns, furniture, carpeting, etc.

Environmental Services Company in NJ Says Oil Vapors Cause Health Problems

But odors aren’t the only problem for property owners according to Thomas A. Furey, P.E., L.S.R.P and Vice President of The Entech Group Inc..  “Inhalation of oil vapors may cause headaches, dizziness, irritation of the eyes and throat, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting,” explains Furey.  “For individuals with asthma or other lung diseases, the problems could be much worse.”

Furey advises that property owners avoid floodwaters as much as possible.  “Leave the clean up to the experts,” adds Furey.  The Entech Group Inc provides groundwater and air sampling to detect if contamination has occurred.  The environmental services company in NJ can also remove leaking oil tanks, remediate contaminated soil or ground water, as well as complete and submit necessary permit applications to local government agencies.

Furey advises property owners who notice oil or hazardous substances in their basement or around their property to call The Entech Group Inc immediately so that testing may be conducted.

Click here to learn more about LSRP services

Environmental rules and regulations that were introduced in 2009 are finally being implemented at the close of 2012.  What this means for NJ Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRP) is an increase in responsibility with regards to environmental services and projects.

LSRPs must now know the status of environmental investigations and cleanups as the responsibility for responding to public inquiries will be their responsibility.

Additionally, all public notification signs, letters, fact sheets and updates must now include contact information for the person responsible for conducting the remediation and the LSRP of record for the site. The NJDEP Office of Community Relations will no longer be the point of contact.

With the implementation of new state regulations comes mounting pressure on the shoulders of LSRPs.  To help offset some of that pressure and to ensure environmental projects are handled with precise accuracy and compliance, The Entech Group, Inc has created an environmental team of experts to provide support to our partner LSRPs.

Team of Experts Leads Environmental Services Company

Entech has assembled a supporting team of leading experts and certified engineers in the following departments:

The Entech Group, Inc., a leading energy, engineering and environmental services company in NJ, says that Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRP) now have added responsibilities from the state.  The environmental services company advises property owners and responsible parties to work with an organization that can support the responsibilities of the LSRP and provide expertise in other arenas.

Thomas A. Furey, P.E., LSRP and Vice President of The Entech Group, Inc. says that LSRPs face mounting responsibilities now that NJ has implemented regulations set forth back in 2009.  “Not only does the LSRP have to meet obligations for their client, they also are now under pressure to meet obligations outlined for them by the state. The role of the LSRP has never been so complex as it is now.”

LSRPs Will Benefit From A Supporting Organization

With that mounting responsibility, Furey says that an LSRP will benefit from the support and expertise of an organization.   “There’s still additional procedures that need to be clarified from the state, we are going through a big change right now,” explains Furey.  “It is our recommendation that parties align themselves with an organization capable of providing environmental, engineering and support services.”

Environmental services companies like The Entech Group, Inc have done just that.  While Furey is Vice President and their acting LSRP, Entech has assembled a supporting team of leading experts and certified engineers in the following departments:

• Architectural
• Construction Cost Estimating
• Building Evaluation

Entech’s turnkey and alternate approach to environmental remediation can help accelerate projects to closure when traditional oil tank removal and environmental methods do not provide a complete solution for affected sites.

Environmental Services in NJ

In addition to oil tank removal services, The Entech Group, Inc can provide the following environmental, engineering and remediation services in NJ:

• Demolition of structure – to include lead and asbestos investigation, abatement and reporting

In-situ remediation is one of the newest and most cost effective alternate remediation methods and solutions. In situ remediation treats pollution “in place”, below the ground surface and without significant disturbance. Physical extraction, biologic activity, chemical modification, or other processes are employed to remove, degrade or stabilize pollutants in soil and groundwater. In many instances, this result is accomplished through the introduction of substances into the subsurface of a site.

With all services, the environmental services company in NJ provides environmental investigation, remediation and reporting.

According to The Entech Group, Inc, natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes. It is an environmentally friendly solution for home heating that eliminates the environmental risks of a leaking oil tank. A leaking tank can be a source of soil and ground water contamination to neighboring homes and businesses, not just the home where the tank resides

Over the past 10 years, natural gas prices have dropped to record lows, but heating oil prices have been steadily rising.  Even worse, the price of oil is expected to reach record levels by winter. According to the NY Times, analysts do not expect oil prices to drop in the near future, mainly because of political instability in the Middle East and rising demand from developing countries.

Environmental Services in NJ Include Oil Tank Removal Services

Homes with an existing underground oil tank can ask The Entech Group about their oil tank removal services.  From beginning to end, the environmental services company in NJ will handle the entire process of oil tank removal and remediation, both underground and above ground, in a timely and cost effective manner while staying in accordance with environmental regulations.

The Entech Group, a leading engineering, energy and environmental services company in NJ, can determine the date of a previous oil tank leak through a process called ‘age-dating’.  This technique can help property owners who face costs associated with contaminated soil and groundwater.

When a property owner was facing an expensive environmental problem, age dating was able to secure them 100% coverage by their insurance.  The property owner’s 550 gallon Underground Heating Oil Storage Tank had previously been pulled by a company who noticed an oil leak that had contaminated the soil and ground water around it. Lacking the environmental expertise, the company left their client to deal with the problem on their own. Facing up to $150,000 in costs and badly contaminated soil underneath their house, the property’s owner architect turned to The Entech Group, Inc.

The Entech Group, Inc. was able to provide their professional environmental services by performing sampling and analysis services of the soil and groundwater of the contaminated area. Burdened by the costs of remediating the site, their client also hired The Entech Group, Inc. to perform a site investigation.

Environmental Services Company in NJ Determines Date of Leak To Ensure Insurance Coverage

Age-dating was able to determine the date of the oil leak compared to the expiration date of their client’s insurance coverage.  It turned out that the leak occurred 70 days before the property owner’s insurance expired and The Entech Group Inc. was able to secure them coverage for the project.

The environmental services company in NJ offers their own certified engineers, environmental scientists, OSHA certified and trained construction personnel and knowledgeable technicians. Entech understands the system and can help protect property owners.

According to the oil tank removal company in NJ, there is no guarantee that funding will be available, even within the EDA’s estimated 4-5 year time frame. As funding remains on hold, the problem of a leaking oil tank continues to grow. According to Thomas A. Furey, P.E, LSRP and Vice President of The Entech Group, environmental problems that are swept under the rug could become a much bigger issue in the future. “If you don’t take care of a leaking oil tank now, the problem is only going to grow beyond its current state,” Furey says. “In the long run, it could end up costing you much more if the leak continues to impact ground water and soil. The best thing to do is to remediate the problem now since there is no guarantee that funding will be available.”

NJ Homes With Oil Tanks Should Convert to Natural Gas

The Entech Group advises property owners with a leaking oil tank to have the tank removed and convert their heating to natural gas. Furey says that natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes. “Natural gas has come down considerably over the past 10 years,” he says. “Plus, rebate programs are still available to help NJ residents save even more money.”

More information about New Jersey’s clean energy program is available online at http://www.njcleanenergy.com

The Entech Group Inc. offers complete oil tank removal services in NJ and can also help property owners make the switch to natural gas. NJ homes that are older than 15 years and still have the original underground oil tank are advised to have it removed, even if they won’t be converting to natural gas.

Working with The Entech Group and their Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) can help oil tank removal in NJ to be completed at an accelerated pace.

The dam at Shongum Lake was designed by The Entech Group Inc., however, residents are still concerned about pollutants reaching the waterways.  Ragan has suggested a pilot program to the town of Randolph to test out the filters ability to block debris from entering waterways.  The pilot program will strategically place Flexstorm filters and monitor their effectiveness.

Township manager, John Lovell, hopes the filters will preserve the life of Shongum Lake and prevent runoff problems during pipe repairs.

According to Ragan, the township has already purchased some of the filters, and if all goes well, they hope to expand the program.

The incidents of abandoned oil tanks in NJ are on the rise, and with these incidents come the possibility of contamination.  Even if the original property owner offered documents to show that a site had been properly decommissioned, the new property owners will still be responsible if contamination is later discovered.

To avoid the pitfalls of purchasing a home with contaminated soil, potential buyers can hire an environmental services company in NJ to perform the proper testing around any abandoned underground storage tank.

If a spill has ever occurred at the site, or if the tank has a leak, a soil sample test will detect this.  If that happens, responsibility to properly remediate the site before transfer of ownership will be on the seller’s shoulders.

Environmental Services Company in NJ Offers In Situ Remediation

If remediation is needed and there is no abandoned underground storage tank, The Entech Group can help accelerate the process of site remediation through in situ remediation for soil and groundwater remediation projects, one of the newest and most cost effective alternate remediation methods and solutions. In situ remediation treats pollution “in place”, below the ground surface and without significant disturbance. Physical extraction, biologic activity, chemical modification, or other processes are employed to remove, degrade or stabilize pollutants in soil and groundwater. In many instances, this result is accomplished through the introduction of substances into the subsurface of a site.

If the issue of an abandoned storage tank is present, working with The Entech Group and their Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) can help accelerate the removal process.

The environmental services company in NJ offers their own certified engineers, environmental scientists, OSHA certified and trained construction personnel and knowledgeable technicians.

Governor Christie’s amendments to site remediation and environmental services in NJ aim to establish “outcome-oriented criteria” for the cleanup of contaminated sites, “with a goal of ensuring the highest standards of protection of human health and the environment.” The end result for many businesses is a reduction in the amount of time and effort needed to bring an environmental project to a successful closure.

Environmental Services Company in NJ Offers Over 25 Years of Experience

The Entech Group Inc., a leading environmental services company in NJ, offers LSRP services for all of their environmental projects including oil tank removal. The Vice President of Entech, Thomas A Furey, PE, is a Licensed Site Remediation Professional with over 25 years of experience.

The new Site Remediation Reform Act and the use of Licensed Site Remediation Professionals will significantly impact anyone involved in site remediation, whether they be environmental professionals, businesses or property owners.

Some key aspects of the new rules are summarized below:

• Use of LSRP to oversee the remediation of all contaminated sites in NJ
• Cleanups will have new regulatory and mandatory timeframes. At complex sites, remediation is required to be completed within 10 years from discovery of a discharge; cleanup must be completed within six years at sites having only soil contamination.
• A Response Action Outcome (RAO) issued by an LSRP is the new “equivalent” of a No Further Action letter.
• Transfer or closure of facilities subject to ISRA requires remediation by an LSRP
• The NJDEP proposes to significantly increase penalties for failure to meet complex procedural and substantive cleanup requirements — up to $25,000 per violation

Entech’s experienced environmental services team in NJ is comprised of certified engineers, environmental scientists, OSHA certified and trained construction personnel and knowledgeable technicians.

As one of the leading oil tank removal companies in NJ, Entech has seen their fair share of environmental and health concerns caused by leaking tanks. A leaking tank can be a source of soil and ground water contamination to neighboring homes and businesses, not just the home where the tank resides.

Natural gas is a safer, more affordable solution for heating NJ homes. Over the past 10 years, natural gas prices have dropped to record lows, but heating oil prices have been steadily rising. Even worse, the price of oil is expected to reach record levels by winter. According to the NY Times, analysts do not expect oil prices to drop in the near future, mainly because of political instability in the Middle East and rising demand from developing countries.

NJ homeowners who don’t want to be left in the cold should consider converting to natural gas now.

Oil Tank Removal in NJ

The Entech Group offers oil tank removal services in NJ and can assist you during the conversion process from your old oil furnace/boiler into a gas furnace/boiler. If there are environmental impacts to the ground or air from your oil tank, Entech will handle the complete site investigation, remediation and final reporting.

NJ homes that are older than 15 years and still have the original underground oil tank are advised to have it removed, even if they won’t be converting to natural gas.

An underground oil tank has the potential to contaminate soil and even drinking water if a leak occurs. A spill can contaminate groundwater affecting private wells, other nearby drinking water supplies, lakes, rivers and reservoirs. It is also not uncommon for the contamination to spread to neighboring properties.

Working with The Entech Group and their Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) can help oil tank removal in NJ to be completed at an accelerated pace.

Although the funding is currently on hold, NJ property owners may still apply for funding by submitting an application that will be date stamped and held until, if and when, sufficient funds become available.

Property owners who are uncertain about whether or not they require oil tank removal services can contact The Entech Group in NJ for a free assessment.  Entech offers NJ property owners an Environmental Liability Assessment Program that includes a complimentary consultation of the underground storage tank, advice and guidance to properly address all recognized environmental concerns, as well as a Summary of Findings letter for use and future submission to state governmental agencies, legal representatives and / or insurance representatives.  According to Entech, the results of their findings will be a basis to advance an oil tank removal project to a swift and successful conclusion.

Energy efficient homes look good and are also good for the environment. The installation of solar panels in NJ turns a dream home into a green home and protects homeowners from rising utility rates.

Essentially, solar panels enable the homeowner to save money by creating more of their own energy from the sun instead of purchasing it from utility companies. A recent study by Yahoo! Real Estate revealed that there is a growing consensus that the dream home must be more energy efficient.

NJ Solar Energy Trends on the Rise

According to the Home Horizons 2012 study:

• 50% of people consider green/energy efficient appliances/materials are a requirement of their dream home – it is more popular than perennial favorites such as “building a custom home” (38%); “water views” (38%) and “mountain views” (32%);
• 27% of those in the market say that looking for a greener, more energy-efficient home is a significant reason they want a new home.

The US Department of Energy estimates that electricity utility costs will more than double in the next five years. Having a solar energy system installed has never been a smarter choice for homeowners. And because Entech’s solar systems are a proven technology backed by a 5-year system warranty and a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty, homeowners will be enjoying significant electric savings for the next quarter century or more!

NJ homeowners interested in installing solar panels in their home can call Entech for a complimentary site assessment of their property. An Entech representative will prepare and present a one page outline of preliminary budgetary cost estimates including a summary of current federal and state program savings and incentives.

Entech, a leader in environmental services in NJ, has been a leading provider of Environmental Turn Key single source environmental solutions for the past 20 years. The firm actively assists clients during all aspects of the process, from initial environmental investigation to final closure.

The purpose of Entech’s Environmental Turn Key Service is to allow a client to contract with a company to perform a particular agreed-upon task. The main goal in this is to create a single entity that the owner can communicate with to assist with all those involved in contracting—and Entech is proud to carry out that duty.

The company, which provides environmental services in NJ, is responsible for both design and construction of a project. The Environmental Turn Key Services are different from traditional contracting because there are shorter and more direct lines of communication among the owner, environmental company, and government agencies. In addition, the owner has access to strong, consistent and knowledgeable management throughout the process.

Environmental Services in NJ

In the past, the client needed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to write a No Further Action Letter, which closes out a project file. Now, however, licensed site remediation professionals at The Entech Group have the authority to write the final closure letter, or the Response Action Outcome.

This capacity is an incredible asset for clients seeking environmental services in NJ, making it a true Turn Key Solution. Clients can now expect the process to take less time, saving more capital expenditures.

In addition to Turn Key Solution, The Entech Group offers other environmental service in NJ, such as solar power solutions for both businesses and residences. A solar energy system offers ample benefits, including huge financial savings and environmental perks. Some of the proven benefits that accompany solar energy include protection against rising utility costs, government rebates and tax credits, long-term reliability, and so much more.
