Services
Phase I ESA
Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments identify potential environmental concerns through historical research, regulatory reviews, and site inspections. Following ASTM standards, we evaluate property history back to 1940, analyze regulatory databases, and document current conditions. This comprehensive approach helps clients understand environmental risks before property transactions.
Subsurface Investigation
Phase II subsurface investigations determine contamination extent through soil and groundwater sampling. We employ drilling, trenching, and vapor analysis techniques to assess chemical impacts. Our state-certified lab analysis identifies petroleum constituents, metals, and organic compounds, providing critical data for remediation planning.
Contamination Remediation
Phase III remediation services eliminate contaminant migration through customized cleanup strategies. We design and implement excavation, soil vapor extraction, and in-situ treatment systems. Our team manages all aspects from feasibility studies to final site closure, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while optimizing project costs.
Environmental Consulting
Our consulting services address pollution liability and regulatory compliance challenges. With expertise in agency negotiations and technical evaluations, we help clients navigate complex environmental regulations. Services include expert testimony, remedial plan reviews, and strategic project oversight for both public and private sector clients.
Groundwater Monitoring
We design and maintain groundwater monitoring systems to track contamination movement and remediation effectiveness. Our services include well installation, sample collection, and analysis of water quality parameters. This data supports regulatory compliance and informs long-term site management decisions.
