Duffield Associates was awarded two multi year contracts with the City of Philadelphia for environmental consulting services related to storage tanks and general environmental services. Storage tank services included maintaining storage tank sites and maintaining compliance with environmental regulations (investigation of storage tank leaks, tank testing and design of tank replacements and related remediation work). General environmental consultant services included Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, investigation of soil contamination, environmental remediation design, Title V air permitting and review of construction projects.

Projects included:

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for numerous City-owned sites and sites to be acquired or sold.

Duffield Associates worked with the facilities' personnel to develop practical solutions to these challenges without creating an unnecessary burden on the facilities' personnel responsible for oil operations
