About Us

When soil contamination from a leaking petroleum storage tank has been confirmed the services of a NC licensed geologist or engineer are required.

Robert (Bob) A. Payne, President of Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock), has over 30 years of diversified experience in environmental geology. Bob formed Cedar Rock in 1994 after realizing that many property owners had no one to turn to, to help them deal with their UST/ASTs. Specializing in the abandonment or removal of leaking storage tanks and, associated environmental assessments when necessary, Cedar Rock has investigated over 3,500 residential and commercial sites for soil contamination from leaking petroleum storage tanks. Backed by this experience, Cedar Rock is able to offer quality site cleanup and associated environmental assessment services to its clients. Cedar Rock is licensed to offer geological services in North Carolina.
