Environmental Remediation
Environmental Monitoring Needs
For any business involved in hazardous remediation Local Environmental Health Impact concerns are associated with investigation, remediation and construction activities on sites with significant soil and/or subsurface contamination (e.g., heavy metals, waste oil, solvents, pesticides).
Remediation actions must take into consideration the potential exposure risk created from disturbing contaminants on these sites, to the workers and the public living and working on or near the site.
Brownfield and Portfield Sites
As a part of our community, Brownfields and Portfields create an environmental, legal and financial burden. The process for cleanup and transition to functional property is complex but thoughtful remediation planning and processing can transform these sites from economic disaster to asset. Whether it is a court order, community pressure or voluntary cleanup, remediation workers and surrounding communities need to stay on top of the risk that comes with cleaning up volatile hazardous waste.
CERCLA (Superfund) or RCRA Sites
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) requires that for all remedial actions taken that result in hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remaining at a site above exposure levels be reviewed every five years to ensure protection of people and the environment.
Community Air Monitoring Programs (CAMP)
To understand impacts of a hazardous remediation project on the local community, Community Air Monitoring Programs are developed to monitor the impacted area and respond to gathered data.
