Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  Alternative Petroleum Services LLC (APS) is reporting inaccurate information to the Revdex.com as a cover up to their Breach Of Contract made and agreed to in November/December 2016.  [redacted], I'm sure this matter seems very perplexing to you as it is to me with all the irrelevant DEP documents submitted to your office by APS. These documents is relevant to the contractor Mr. Salvatore S[redacted] and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency once the (Oil tank remediation project is completed).  I am going to simplify this matter once and for all and hopefully this will enable you to objectively bring this matter to some closure.  I am attaching several documents to substantiate my case here. By the way, as you see a Shelly S[redacted] is writing these responses for Salvatore S[redacted]. I did not speak to Shelly S. regarding this proposal/agreement. Mr. S[redacted] was never able to explain this project fully to my brother [redacted] and I. As a result, he would become frustrated with me specifically because I would ask questions and clarification regarding the project. After all, I spoke with Mr. Sal S[redacted] and agreed to pay him for this project.  Just wanted to emphasize this, because Mr. S[redacted] is the Contractor who we made the agreement with and have been communication with until communication broke down. 1)  Initial proposal was accepted and signed between Salvatore S[redacted] and [redacted] on 12/18/16.  (Attached is a copy of said proposal with the breakdown of prices) totality $10,580.00  - APS billed for us for every machinery and personnel utilized for this project in December i.e, Excavator inc. the operator of the excavator, Subsurface Evaluator (Geologist) the person responsible for taking soil and water samples as per NJDEP guidelines from the 13 foot hole that was dug out from the property at [redacted] Irvington Ave, So. Orange NJ.  We were billed and paid for two (2) samples as indicated in APS invoice #159  dated 12/14/2016. (PS - We requested a copy of the sample report from Salvatore S[redacted] and as of this date (5/21/17), we never received a copy and was told "it doesn't work that way". I contacted a reputable Tank Removal company in NJ and was told that we should have received a copy of the sample reports.2)  I've attached text messages correspondence between Salvatore (Sal) S[redacted] and I (Fay Farrier) as proof that we have been corresponding which was sometime volatile only because I felt that Sal was taken advantage of [redacted] and myself especially [redacted] because my brother is disabled. You will see, that he and his daughter [redacted] were the only ones I have spoken to regarding this matter. His daughter contacted me for my credit card in order to pay them.  3) I'm disputing their accusations of refusal to sign the 2nd proposal. (Please see attached text messages, where it indicates "Sal, please ask your daughter to email me the 2nd proposal, I will review and sign it and provide her with my CC for the additional $3.200).  [redacted], Mr. S[redacted] nor his daughter never sent it to me. In my text messages, you will see I followed up with him regarding this matter.  Also, after several weeks of seeing and reviewing the 2nd proposal, I noticed that APS wants us ([redacted] & I) to pay for the machinery and the Sub-surface (Geologist) AGAIN.  When the 1st proposal was agreed to, the Sub surface Evaluator took samples from the ground. (Why do we have to pay for APS to remove the debris from the 13 foot hole, for the Geologist to take samples that should have been taken from the initial excavation)  THESE ARE NOT HIS COMPANY MACHINERY, HE IS RENTING THE MACHINERIES AND WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE US FOR THEIR USE) NOT FAIR!!!3) I am disputing their accusation that "[redacted] refuses to understand the regulations" I should not have to comprehend the complexities of the NJDEP compliance, rules and regulations in connection with UST, geo probe etc. this is APS responsibly. Yes, he should explain to the client ([redacted] & myself) in "layman's terms"  we are paying him to perform the necessary functions of the job.  Mr. S[redacted] always over talked my brother and I, he never actively listened.  4) I've attached pictures of the "contaminated soil" per Mr. S[redacted] (He never conveyed to us that the soil is contaminated but yet he left it exposed in the back of the building where there are other tenants using that area. Mr. S[redacted] stated that he couldn't remove the soil until the samples came back from the lab as to the status of said. (Where is the report again??) If we have paid for the samples, why can't we get a copy of the report; after all, we paid for these samples. [redacted], I contacted an attorney, explained my concerns regarding this matter, presented the proposal. Upon review of said, attorney said "this is a flat fee proposal, no where does it state ESTIMATE"   I have also contacted other companies to try and finish this job, but no one wants to touch this project with the way it is. They've asked me for reports, we don't have any to present. They've asked for reports of the following  (a) copy of permit that should have been given to us by APS) (b) copy of scrap ticket, (c) copy of clean fill ticket, and (d) copy of clean fill letter. (WE HAVE NONE OF THESE DOCUMENTS) The companies I've contacted would have to start over from "scratch" they refuse to work from what is there. So, that's why I'm reasonably requesting that APS finish the job (proposal must be spelled out in detail as to what has to be done) or reimburse the funds paid so that we can hire another company to complete this job.For your review ONLY, not APS review, I have attached a copy of an estimate from another company detailing their proposal.  [redacted], I know that this is a lot of information, but this case is complex this company was paid over $7,000 dollars. We would like to be made whole, so it's either APS remove the soil based on their pay schedule which is $30.00 per ton. Sal S[redacted] estimated (25 tons) so if it's more that that then let us know how much more tons of soil there is and will be pay the difference. [redacted] is unable to sell his property because of the "mess" APS left in the back of his building. My brother trusted Mr. S[redacted] and he fooled him into thinking he's helping him. Also, if you look at the 2nd proposal, Mr. S[redacted] notes state if the soil samples is above certain parameters above or below the DEP range, the cost will be more. So, if he billed us for the samples, why didn't he know the range based on the Geologist findings? Something is not right here.

Dear [redacted],Good afternoon, I would sincerely like to thank you for taking the time to try to understand all the information regarding this environmental industry. As you can see it does get a bit complicated when the  New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection procedures and...

regulations apply. I have scanned some documents from the N.J.A.C. regulations.1. Client received a quote based on an estimated 25 tons of contaminated soil due to a petroleum leaking underground storage tank.2. My company removed tank and excavated the contaminated soil, then stockpiled as per NJDEP regulation, had the soil been less than 25 tons our original quote of course would have been less money, however it was more than the estimated 25 tons. Which still sits on client property because [redacted] refuses to pay for the exact amount of the soil needed to be disposed of at a licensed approved facility. 3. Upon excavating the contaminated soil, my company encountered groundwater with residual (petroleum oil) product in the groundwater. 4. This immediately changed my scope of work due to the NJDEP regulations with regards to groundwater.5. Client now wants me to pay for whatever extra cost there is due to the water issue in the ground.Client feel she was given a "flat" rate. Clearly the quote signed, states an amount of  25 tons. Not 10 tons not 50 tons in FACT 25 tons, ,my original quote states with regards to groundwater.Attached, please find the regulations, I did write on them to try to help better explain the regulations. Please call me with any questions.Thank you,ShellyS[redacted]Alternative Petroleum ServicesExecutive AdministratorPhone: [redacted]Fax: [redacted]
