JFM has a long history of assisting dozens of private and public clients deal with contaminants found on their property. Historically this often involved 'dig and dump' methodology, whereby for example contaminated soils were simply hauled away and disposed. However, currently available remediation techniques and cost factors have made the on-site or off-site treatment of many common contaminants a viable solution of choice. JFM offers such state of the art remediation solutions while continuing to also provide conventional excavation, removal and disposal services where circumstances indicate that this method is in the client's best interest. Representative examples of some larger scale projects successfully discharged that included a significant Phase III removal or remediation component are listed below:

• Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - Transportation Dept. - Several individual complete turnkey projects including all permits and document preparation in connection with soil and groundwater investigations involving multiple USTs, management of the removal of the USTS and related contaminants, and the development of a groundwater monitoring program for each location. Individual sites included in this project were Metro properties each containing severe USTS
• Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - Parks & Culture Dept - Environmental Site Assessments of 10 individual Parks Department sites, the removal of 23 separate USTs discovered during the ESAs, and the cleanup of the related contaminated soils at 7 of the sites. As with the Transportation Department project, JFM provided turnkey services to the Parks Department, including securing all permits, preparation of all necessary documentation in connection with the removal of the USTs and their related contaminants, and the development of a groundwater monitoring program for the applicable sites.
