In several states, it is common practice to use an institutional control, such as a land use restriction, or an engineering control such as a protective barrier, to achieve regulatory closure for a property. The existence of these controls should be a clear indication to potential purchasers that contamination has [...]
Facing an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) inspection can be a daunting prospect for businesses and organizations. In this presentation, we will explore essential strategies for navigating a regulatory inspection with confidence. Discover practical suggestions on how to prepare for an EPA inspection, handle the inspection process with ease, and effectively [...]
There are many factors that go into deciding what action or path to take when addressing environmental issues or making a choice for your site. The Monte-Carlo analysis system provides a comprehensive assessment of these factors and considerations. Register for this webinar to learn more about what a Monte-Carlo Analysis [...]
In today's business landscape, sustainability has become a buzzword that pervades discussions at corporate and executive levels across diverse industries. While some might dismiss it as just another passing trend, sustainability is undeniably gaining rapid traction and reshaping supply chains and internal operations across several industries. “So, what is sustainability?” [...]
Deploying equipment for long-term or high spatial resolution monitoring can quickly become costly. Unfortunately, estimating the environmental impact of emerging contaminants often requires both long-term monitoring and a high number of sensors. In this webinar, we will discuss how to build research-grade sensor networks for less than 1% of the [...]
Environmental remediation approaches can vary widely for different projects. Based on several factors (potential contaminants, exposure pathways, lithology at the Site, neighboring properties, project stakeholder risk tolerances, timing goals, etc.), there are numerous remediation alternatives to explore. Does the Site require active remediation such as excavation and off-Site disposal or [...]
Tungsten (represented on the periodic table as “W”) is a naturally occurring element that exists in the environment as minerals with the two most common minerals being Wolframite and Scheelite. Due to tungsten's unique properties, such as its remarkable tensile strength, conductivity, and melting point, it can be found in [...]
There are many available different ways to obtain closure for environmentally impacted Sites. One of the quickest and proven methods, albeit perceived to be an expensive option, is thermal remediation. Electric Resistance Heating (ERH) is a method of remediation that was used at a Site in central Indiana in an [...]
When completing remediation projects for contaminated sites, there are many factors that come into play. The type of contaminants and the corresponding concentrations, site characteristics, implementation feasibility, timeframe, overall goal of remediation, and cost all contribute to design of a remedy. Site-specific characteristics that are also taken into consideration include [...]
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) was recently revised and published in November of 2021 as ASTM E1527-21. The reason for the revisions is that all ASTM standards have an 8-year shelf life. Once you approach the shelf life of [...]
