Environmental Management Associates, Inc., is a full service environmental consultant and contractor. We specialize in residential and commercial services including oil tank removal and remediation. In addition we are well versed in mold assessment testing and mitigation. In business since 1994, EMA, Inc., operates with a pedigree of professionalism to satisfy their customers.

"EMA is definitely a very good and reliable company. Just had oil tank removed and although there were unexpected additional charges because of a small hole in tank, Mike was very nice and explained everything. Just wished DEP was not so strict because they cost us an additional $1900 even without any contamination. I picked this company because it had very good reviews not just for their professional service but they are a lot lower than all the other companies I looked into. Our first estimate was $1,400 more than EMA!! I called several companies and I am so glad I went with them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
