Site Investigations and Remediation: RMEA has conducted successful site investigations and remediation projects at numerous sites throughout the Rocky Mountain region, and our staff have conducted such work nationwide. We have the experience with the latest technologies to efficiently conduct your project, and the relationships with regional regulatory staff to get your project through the regulatory process and attain closure. Our successful projects have included leaking underground storage tank (LUST) sites, hazardous materials sites, vehicle spill cleanups, and farm dump cleanups. We utilize the latest Risk Assessment techniques to make sure that remediation is conducted only when necessary, and only to the degree necessary to achieve closure while protecting human health and the environment. Experience Counts. A partial list of RMEAs regional Site Investigation and Remediation clients includes: Ball Ventures; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Blue Bell Corporation; Rigby, Caldwell, Idaho; D and L Cleaners; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Driggs Airport pesticide recommendation; Driggs, Idaho; Farm Dump Cleanup; Thornton, Idaho; Former Phillips 66 station; Shelley, Idaho; Horkley's; Rexburg, Idaho; Live Water properties farm dump; Thornton, Idaho; LUST site investigation/remediation; Roberts, Idaho; Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) Spill; Island Park, Idaho; Northwest cheese factory; Salmon, Idaho; Texaco Station UST; Ashton, Idaho; The City of Idaho Falls; Idaho Falls, Idaho; UST release; Roberts, Idaho; Valley Wide Corp. LUST site; Rexburg, Idaho; Vehicle Spill treatment; Tendoy, Idaho; Wright Oil & Tire site; Blackfoot, Idaho; Zions Bank; Idaho Falls, Idaho. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and Phase III Environmental Site Assessment= A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is an investigation which collects more extensive samples of soil, groundwater or building materials to analyze for quantitative values of various contaminants. A Phase II investigation is normally undertaken when a Phase I ESA determines a likelihood of site contamination. The most frequent substances tested are petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, asbestos and mold. Phase III Environmental Site Assessment is an investigation involving remediation of a site. This study normally involves assessment of alternative cleanup methods, costs and logistics. The associated report details the steps taken to perform site cleanup and the follow-up monitoring for residual contaminants. Environmental remediation deals with the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water for the general protection of human health and the environment, or for a Brownfield site intended for redevelopment. Remediation is generally subject to an array of regulatory requirements, and also can be based on assessments of human health and ecological risks where no legislated standards exist or where standards are advisory. Remediation technologies are many and varied but can be categorized into ex-situ and in-situ methods. Ex-situ methods involve excavation of impacted soils and subsequent disposal or treatment at the surface, whereas In-situ methods seek to treat the contamination “in-place”, without removing soils or groundwater. A common misconception regarding Phase II and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs): Clients hear the terms "Phase 2 and Phase 3 ESAs" and are often confused by these terms and guess that a Phase 1 will necessarily be followed by the need for additional, costly work. This is not true. A Phase 2 ESA is only needed when a recognized environmental condition is identified by the Phase 1 study. Many sites, most actually, are free of significant environmental concerns and no additional work is required. When additional work is needed, that work is focused solely on the specific condition/s identified in the Phase 1. The scope of a Phase 2 study is therefore site specific and varies widely. Phase 3 studies are remediation-focused investigations that follow a Phase 2. RMEA has extensive experience conducting these studies. |
