Environmental Services
At HSE Consulting Services, LLC, we are committed to delivering top-tier environmental consulting. Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of environmental assessments, investigations, and solutions, ensuring that your business maintains compliance with all regulations while protecting the environment. Whether you are managing hazardous materials, investigating soil and groundwater conditions, or overseeing site redevelopment, we offer customized services tailored to meet your unique needs.
Our Comprehensive Environmental Consulting Services Include:
- Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA): A Phase I ESA is conducted prior to property transactions to identify any potential environmental risks. This thorough investigation includes reviews of governmental records, historical documents, site reconnaissance, and interviews with affected parties. It follows the ASTM E 1527 Standard for Environmental Site Assessments.
-
A Phase I ESA:
- Identifies recognized environmental conditions regarding hazardous substances and petroleum products.
- Offers protection under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) by providing an innocent landowner defense.
- Uncovers past or present releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products into soil, groundwater, surface water, or structures.
- Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA): If contamination or adverse conditions are identified in a Phase I ESA, a Phase II ESA is conducted to assess the extent of contamination. This deeper investigation includes soil and water sampling, testing, and analysis, following ASTM E 1903 standards.
- Environmental Transaction Screens (ETS): A Transaction Screen is a cost-effective alternative to a Phase I ESA, designed for situations where few adverse environmental conditions are expected. This screening process includes a site visit, government record reviews, and a questionnaire to gather information from the property owner/operator, performed in accordance with ASTM E 1528.
- Overburden and Bedrock Investigation: We offer comprehensive design, implementation, and oversight of overburden and bedrock investigations, employing methods such as:
- Sonic, rotary, direct push, and hollow-stem auger drilling and sampling.
- Geotechnical testing (both in-situ and ex-situ) to assess the physical properties of soil and rock.
- Monitoring well and piezometer installation (vertical and angled), including single- and multiple-cased options.
- Groundwater and Hydrogeologic Investigations: Our services also include hydrogeologic investigation, as well as groundwater sampling, including low flow sampling techniques for accurate data collection. We perform:
- Slug tests (rising and falling head) and pump tests (constant and step drawdown) to assess groundwater flow and quality.
- Groundwater treatment system performance evaluations to ensure the effectiveness of remediation efforts.
- Monitoring well decommissioning and abandonment to properly close wells once they are no longer needed.
-
Sediment and Watershed Investigations: We provide sediment investigation services, including vibracore and grab sampling, as well as engineered cap verification sampling to ensure containment integrity. Our watershed investigations assess the impact of surrounding environments on water quality, and we offer:
- Surface water sampling and storm event monitoring to evaluate runoff and water quality during rainfall.
- Plant effluent and stormwater monitoring to assess the discharge from industrial sites and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Underground Storage Tank (UST) Testing and Removal Support: We support the testing, inspection, and removal of underground storage tanks (USTs), ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and environmental safety standards.
