Services include:
- Soil and Groundwater Surveys
- Phase 1/2/3 Assessments
- RBCA Tier 1/2/3 Assessments based on the ASTM requirements for Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA).
- Sub-surface VOC monitoring and mapping
- Forensic Geochemistry for identifying petroleum-related and other potentially hazardous environmental contaminants and for determining their sources and time of release
3. Gas Station Assessment/UST Closures
1. Determination of petroleum hydrocarbons in the air, soils and groundwater
2. Desk studies of station status, history, current land use, geology and hydrogeology.
3. Shallow and deep soil and groundwater sampling
4. Comprehensive analytical capabilities and data interpretation
5. Closure plan preparation, guidance and submission
