Phase I,II & III Testing and assessement

  • Available to both public and private sector clients, Enviro performs American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Comprehensive Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) for real estate transactions, property development, bank financing and refinancing, foreclosures, and other proactive audit program. These projects require a diverse expertise in geology, hydro-geology, engineering and risk assessment.

    PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT

    The purpose of a Phase I ESA is to gather sufficient information to develop an independent professional opinion about the environmental condition of the property and to identify actual or potential environmental contamination that may impact he value or progress of a property or project.

    A Phase I ESA consists of the following four components: A thorough review of records, a site visit, interviews with the owner and/or operator of the property, and report documentation.

    Review Of Records

    The environmental professional will examine records that show previous transfer of ownership of the property and what the properties have been used for.

    Site Reconnaissance

    A site reconnaissance involves a visual inspection of the property and the surrounding properties. Pictures may be taken and some preliminary measurements may be conducted. However, testing for environmentally hazardous materials is not conducted in Phase I ESA.

    Interviews

    Interviews may be conducted with any persons or organizations that can be helpful by providing additional information on the property or surrounding properties. Additionally, meetings with local health departments, fire departments, water departments and/or other officials or management associations may be conducted.

    Report

    A written report will be completed by Enviro that will outline the findings from the Phase I ESA, including any conclusions that can be made about the property. If environmental contamination may be present, a Phase II ESA may be recommended.

    A Phase II ESA is a more detailed investigation requiring sampling and analysis. The purpose of a Phase II investigation is to estimate the nature and extent of contamination and to provide the basis for a preliminary assessment of the cost for corrective and/or preventative action.

  • PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT

    Phase II ESAs are designed and completed in accordance with the ASTM’s Standards while considering the unique goals, needs and budget of each client and project. The scope of work is designed to withstand the scrutiny of any parties involved, including lenders, regulators, attorneys, and peers. With a well-trained and licensed team and a wide in-house arsenal of specialized equipment for drilling, sampling, and monitoring, Enviro is ready to comply with all state and federal sampling and analysis protocol while having control over cost and scheduling.

    PHASE III ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT

    Phase III ESAs are a necessary step in the environmental remediation process of contaminants from a property. A Phase III Assessment is conducted only after a Phase II ESA establishes the presence of contaminants. A Phase II continues this work and determines the extent of contamination on the property and will uncover the additional information necessary for remediation work. A Phase III ESA includes the development of a plan for remediation and a path forward to approval of all necessary local, state, federal agencies. A scope of work and options available for clean are developed, along with careful assessment of cost.

Remediation

  • The Remedial Investigation & Feasibility Study (FI/FS) is a process focusing on defining the nature and extent of contamination, assessing the risk to human health and the environment, and developing a cleanup strategy to eliminate potentially harmful human health and environmental impacts.

    Enviro has performed Remedial Investigations/Feasibility Studies (RI/FS) under CERCLA, parallel RCRA investigations and state level corrective action protocols. These projects required Enviro’s diverse expertise in environmental engineering and allowed us to showcase our ability to develop strategies consistent with our clients' objectives, in accordance with applicable laws and guidance documents.

    Whether under RCRA, CERCLA, or similar state laws, developing and conducting a site investigation and feasibility study generally includes the following:

    • Project scoping and planning

    • Data collection

    • Risk assessment

    • Treatability studies pilot tests

    • Alternatives analysis

    In developing a solution to an environmental concern, the most cost-effective approach results from an unbiased evaluation of the available technologies. Enviro’s extensive project experience in applying remediation technologies, combined with multi-disciplined engineering resources, allows Enviro to consistently select the most cost-effective and technologically sound solution.

    Specialized Remediation Technologies

    Innovative technologies for site assessment and remediation are at the center of reducing cleanup costs and improving the services Enviro' provides to its clients. Enviro has tested and implemented various chemical oxidation, metal reduction/stabilization, and other innovative remedial approaches. As an example, there are many technologies that, if implemented in a bundled fashion, can allow for remediation to be accomplished in an accelerated time frame.

    Enviro is not bound to promote the application of any single remediation technology. We offer our clients an overall best solution that considers regulatory, business and technical issues. We are continually working to establish strategic alliances with other service providers to enhance our abilities to provide latest innovations in remediation technologies.

underground storage tank services

  • Enviro Professionals have extensive experience working with regulators at local, state and federal levels. We have specially trained professionals who exclusively focus on issues related to petroleum site investigation and remediation. Our team is experienced in managing sites through several state Underground Storage Tank (UST) Petroleum Clean-Up Program reimbursement programs.

    Enviro has completed applications and successfully closed many sites to the satisfaction of regulatory agency remediation criteria. In addition, Enviro’s UST professionals have performed site assessments and remedial investigations at petroleum facilities ranging in size from single UST facilities to large bulk storage terminals. The data collected from these investigations has been used for property transfer as well as remedial design. Enviro has designed and installed remedial systems that have incorporated technologies such as pump and treat, air sparging, in-situ bio remediation techniques, excavation, soil vapor extraction, and dual phase extraction.

dewatering & treatment

  • Dewatering is a term used to describe the process of extraction and removal of groundwater or surface water from a construction site. The presence of undesired water in a construction site can lead to safety risks, increased costs, and unnecessary delays in a project. The right techniques to control, manage, and remove water is critical in projects that involve excavation below the static groundwater level, for example, sub-surface parking structures.

    This process consists of extracting the groundwater at the site with the use of wells or sumps so that groundwater level is drawn down until a steady, dry state of the soil is reached and excavation and construction below natural ground water levels can be conducted in dry stable conditions. Oftentimes, the groundwater recovered from a dewatering project is contaminated and will require treatment.

    A wide variety of methods are available to control groundwater during an excavation. Selecting the right method is a critical step in any project. Our professionals have the experience to carefully assess the unique conditions of each job, enabling us to ensure you select the most suitable and cost effective solution.

asbestos abatement

  • CT Asbestos Abatement Contractor License #000820

    While asbestos has been banned for use in the United States since 1978, many builders and manufacturers were allowed to use it until as late as 1986. Popular for use in flooring, finishes, insulation, fire proofing, roofing, adhesives, and wall and ceiling materials, some reports show that up to 30 million homes and commercial buildings in the United States still contain asbestos containing materials.

    A properly trained and licensed professional is necessary for safe asbestos abatement, removal and disposal, as exposure to this carcinogen is extremely dangerous and can result in a multitude of health concerns.

    Asbestos abatement does not always necessitate removal, because when asbestos is undisturbed and intact, it can often be kept in place with minimal risk of exposure. The expertise of a licensee and trained professional, fully versed in all local, state, and federal laws, should be engaged to make this determination for any project.

mold

  • Indoor mold is a serious environmental hazard. Mold can quickly multiply in the right environmental conditions, releasing airborne particles that can cause damage and threated the health of any humans or animals exposed. Mold can be found nearly anywhere and can grow on virtually any surface, often hidden, when enough moisture is present.

    Investigating potential mold problems can be challenging and requires expertise in order to not unnecessarily disturb potential growth sites and, as a result, trigger the release of spores.

    Enviro Professionals are equipped to accurately test for mold and remove it safely and quickly.
