Spill Clean Up Contractors

April 27, 2020

PA Department of Environmental Resources has provided the list of vetted firms authorized to conduct clean up / remediation of oil, diesel, fuel oil or other substance released due to a vehicle accident, tank failure or other mishap causing the product to lay on a hard surface, absorb into the soil, flow into a waterway, culvert, storm sewer, drain, floor drain, etc.   This list is not to be used in instances when a State Certified Hazardous Materials Response Team is required.

Schuylkill County Emergency Management Agency provides this list as a service and does not endorse or approve any firm. The decision is up to the responsible party to decide on contracting the service.  Consideration should be given to the nature of the release and the timeliness of response, as volunteer first response personnel are usually on scene until relieved by the contractor.  All incidents that result in the discharge of products are forwarded to Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and Department of Environmental Protection, along with the information relating to the responsible party, the estimated quantity discharged and the areas of impact.  PA DEP will follow up after examining the site to determine if additional action is required.

Once a clean up contractor is engaged, it is important that the responsible party convey the following information to the Schuylkill County 911 Communication Center at 570-628-3792.

Name of Firm   -   Point of Contact   -   POC Cell Phone Number   -   Estimated Time of Arrival on scene
