SITE ASSESSMENT & REMEDIATION OF A JET FUEL SPILL AT SALT LAKE CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

 JBR provided technical support and collected samples during the cleanup of jet fuel released during an incident at the Salt Lake City International Airport. JBR was contracted by the excavation company responsible for the cleanup and assisted with negotiations between the airport, the insurance company, and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.

A JBR engineer was present during the overnight excavation and fill activities to screen for remaining contamination using a photo ionizing detector and to collect confirmation samples from the areas deemed clean. The large area of potential contamination required skilled and experienced staff to accurately characterize and ensure any residual jet fuel was well below both regulatory benchmarks and airport criteria. JBR assisted the excavation contractor with completing the project on schedule and with well-documented evidence that the assessment criteria had been successfully considered.
