Environmental Liability Assessments

We specialize in identifying and managing environmental liabilities to help our clients avoid regulatory non-compliance and mitigate risks. Our field-based services are designed to provide accurate data and actionable insights, ensuring that contaminated sites, spills, and other liabilities are addressed effectively.

Our environmental liability assessment services include:

Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Removal

This involves the safe and efficient removal of storage tanks to prevent leaks and spills that can lead to soil and groundwater contamination. We provide field-based oversight during the removal of storage tanks, ensuring proper procedures are followed to avoid further contamination. We also document the process to meet regulatory requirements.

Spill and Excavation Management

Spill and excavation management focuses on minimizing the environmental impact of spills or excavation-related disturbances through rapid response and mitigation measures. Our team provides on-site support to manage spills, including containment, cleanup, and disposal of contaminated materials. For excavation projects, we monitor soil and water to identify and mitigate potential contamination risks.

Soil Confirmatory Sampling

Soil confirmatory sampling verifies the success of remediation efforts by testing soil in previously contaminated areas to ensure it meets regulatory standards. After remediation activities, we collect and analyze soil samples to confirm that contaminants have been effectively removed or reduced to acceptable levels. This step is essential for closing environmental files and ensuring compliance.

Sediment Sampling

Sediment sampling evaluates pollutants that have settled at the bottom of water bodies, providing insights into long-term contamination and its potential risks. We extract sediment cores and analyze them for contaminants like hydrocarbons, metals, and organic compounds. These assessments are crucial for understanding how contaminants move and persist in aquatic environments.

Groundwater Sampling

Groundwater sampling involves collecting and analyzing groundwater to detect contaminants, such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or salts, that may pose risks to ecosystems or human health. Using industry-standard techniques, we perform field-based groundwater sampling to determine contamination levels and identify potential sources. The data collected informs remediation plans and regulatory compliance efforts.

Surface Water Sampling

Surface water sampling assesses the quality of water in rivers, lakes, and other water bodies, often impacted by industrial activities or spills. Our team collects surface water samples, analyzing them for parameters such as pH, turbidity, and pollutant concentrations. This helps determine the extent of contamination and its impact on aquatic ecosystems.
