Understanding Site Assessment and Soil Evaluation

You must consider site and soil evaluation to manage different environmental aspects in your business area. The process includes an expert investigation of the site and a contaminated soil assessment. It helps to identify if your property has any contamination.

The main purpose of site and soil evaluation is to ensure that the site is safe to use. Besides, it also ensures that it does not violate any environmental regulations.

The Role of NEPM in Environmental Protection

The National Environment Protection Measures are some special national objectives that have been developed to protect different aspects of the environment. NEPMs are developed under the guidelines of National Environment Protection Acts (NEPC Act).

NEPM provides detailed guidelines for contaminated site remediation. It ensures that you follow all the environmental regulations.

Our Site Assessment Services

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

A Phase I ESA is a process of inspection to understand the current and previous usage of the land. The purpose of the assessment is to understand if the past and present usage of the land have impacted the groundwater level which is harmful to the human or the environment.

Our Phase I ESA services include:

• Historical Research

  We use contaminated land assessment and historical records evaluation to bring out past land usage. We also leverage aerial images of the site and past documents of land usage to identify the reason for contamination.

• Site Inspection

  To look for visual samples and identify proof of site contamination, our team of experts conducts site inspections. Our environmental site assessment helps us deliver a credible report on the reasons for site contamination.

• Interviews and Documentation

  We communicate and investigate past and present property owners to figure out land usage and possible types of contamination. We also interview local people and the local governmental authorities. Our experts document all the inputs from different sources.

• Report Preparation

  Depending on our findings on the usage of the land, we prepare a comprehensive report. We outline potential environmental risks and recommend possible site remediation actions.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

Phase II ESA is conducted to confirm the presence of petroleum products or any hazardous substances in the soil. Our contaminated land assessment service at this phase involves expert engineers and geologists.

At Phase II ESA, we offer:

• Soil and Groundwater Sampling

  Our team of experts collects soil and groundwater samples from different locations on site. The purpose of our soil and groundwater sampling is to identify contamination.

• Laboratory Analysis

  All the collected samples from the ground and soil go to our NATA-accredited laboratory to test and identify traces of contamination. Through our contaminated land testing, we identify the exact type and the level of contamination.

• Risk Assessment

  Once the laboratory analysis is complete, the result of the lab testing takes us to evaluate potential risks. Our risk assessment strategy involves identifying the level of risk associated with your business work. We also identify possible site remediation strategies to reduce the risk of contamination.

• Detailed Reporting

  We include all the findings from lab reports and include them in the final report. The final report explains in detail the level of contamination, the type of contamination, and possible remediation strategy.

Soil Evaluation Services

We provide the following two types of service – Soil Quality Assessment & Contaminated Land Assessment.

Soil Quality Assessment

The steps involved in determining soil quality:

• Soil Sampling

  We collect samples from the site on a random basis or known information basis. If we have no knowledge of the possible location of contamination we collect samples randomly. Otherwise, if we know the possible location of contamination, we collect soil samples from there.

• Laboratory Testing

  All the collected samples are tested in our laboratories under the supervision of expert lab technicians. We ensure you get reliable test reports of the collected samples and make informed decisions.

• Soil Health Indicators

  To identify the health of the soil, specific elements should be tested. For example, water holding capacity, pH levels, macro and micronutrients, organic matter, etc., can tell you a lot about soil health. These elements of soil can be divided into three categories – Physical, Chemical and Biological.

Contaminated Land Assessment

You need to know the exact type of contamination that your land is subjected to. Our service helps you with proper assessment and remediation strategy.

Our service includes:

• Preliminary Site Investigation

  Our experts initially inspect your site to identify possible reasons for land contamination. It also involves identifying possible impacts of land contamination. Our experts also identify possible locations to collect samples for laboratory testing.

• Detailed Site Investigation

  Our detailed approach in collecting samples through site investigation helps to collect samples of groundwater and soil. The purpose of a detailed site investigation is to identify the level of contamination in groundwater and soil.

• Risk Assessment

  Based on the site investigation and collected samples, our experts assess possible risk factors. It helps to develop mitigation strategies using advanced site remediation strategies.

• Remediation Planning

  The final stage of our Contaminated Land Assessment service is to provide a detailed and effective remediation strategy. With our effective remediation planning, we ensure that you get the best value for your money.

Incorporating NEPM Guidelines

At SERS, we align NEPM guidelines with our environmental site assessments and soil testing services. We aim to comply with the key aspects of NEPM, which include:

• Health-Based Investigation Levels (HILs)

  By incorporating HILs, we analyse the risk of contaminant exposure to human health. It helps us to determine the severity of the contamination on land or groundwater

• Ecological Investigation Levels (EILs)

  The purpose of this guideline is to identify the level of risk to ecological elements from the present site contamination. Our investigation considers the level of risk and determines possible remediation strategies.

• Guideline on the Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater

  We make our services more reliable by following NEPM guidelines in sampling, analysing, and reporting. By following specific and standard guidelines we ensure quality assessment for land and groundwater.

• Risk-Based Approach

  We assess potential risks to human health and the environment. Depending on the level of risk, we prepare a remediation strategy. If we find that the groundwater contamination is at high risk, we prepare a risk management strategy for it.

We ensure that we achieve site remediation validation with proper planning.
