Polychlorinated Biphenyl Component Management

The implementation of projects designed to ensure compliance with Federal regulations addressing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been a significant area of technical concentration for Keating Environmental. Our projects have ranged from regulatory compliance evaluations to complex turnkey PCB transformer evaluations, replacement and remediation assignments and industrial site remediation projects conducted under USEPA-TSCA consent decrees.

Examples of our experience include: compliance evaluations and inspections at apartment complexes and a high profile PCB transformer compliance and replacement project that was performed on a city-wide basis for one of the nation’s largest school districts. Transformer projects have included the performance of contaminant delineation assessments, the remediation of contaminated floors, walls, and worker contact surfaces and the disposal of transformers and other PCB contaminated materials. PCB industrial site projects have included serving as a special consultant to USEPA’s TSCA compliance branch for the investigation and remediation of PCB contamination at a major industrial facility. This project entailed the delineation and remediation of contaminated surfaces within an operating industrial facility, to the investigation and remediation of contaminated soils, groundwater, and free product recovery.
