Environmental Cleanup and Remediation

100-PPE[1]Our environmental scientists and remediation professionals provide oversight and hands-on support for environmental cleanup projects.

Environmental remediation deals with the removal of pollution or contaminants from soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water for the protection of human health and the environment. Remediation is subject to an array of regulatory requirements, and is often based on assessments of human health and ecological risks. AQS is experienced in all aspects of environmental remediation for RCRA, CERCLA, or Brownfield sites. Working with all stakeholders and regulators, our goal is to define and implement the most protective and cost effective solution in every situation.

Environmental Field Support

100-Sampling[2]AQS field personnel are proficient in all aspects of field support including environmental site inspections, sample collection and grourndwater monitoring.

Environmental sampling is conducted to determine the nature and extent of chemical contamination in various environmental media at a site. EPA has developed extensive guidance on how to plan the collection of environmental data at a site so that sampling projects have a high probability of providing data that will allow reliable evaluation of exposure and risk. AQS samplers are trained and proficient in all aspects of sample collection including soil, surface water, groundwater, air, and surface samples.

Hazardous Materials Management

100-Hazmat[1]AQS experts can help facilities develop procedures to mitigate risks and maintain compliance associated with handling hazardous chemicals.

Hazardous Materials (HazMat) in the workplace can pose a significant risk to employees and communities. Organizations must manage risks of exposure where employees handle chemicals, are exposed to hazardous conditions, and require training in safe handling of materials and processing procedures. HazMat tracking, control and training is necessary for compliance with HazComm, EPCRA, P2 and other environmental mandates. AQS experts can help facilities develop systems and procedures that mitigate risks, provide for safe handling of hazardous materials and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
