Project Summary
Verde was commissioned by our client to conduct a Phase II Environmental Assessment to investigate and assess the potential impact to soils and a stream following a discharge of a process wash water to nearby lands.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment includes gathering samples of soil or water (surface and ground), or both, at the property, to test for hazardous materials or environmental contamination. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is usually required when an environmental condition is discovered during a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or when additional environmental testing is recommended because of findings discovered during a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.
Verde’s role on the project
- Excavation of a number of trial pits.
- Obtaining representative soil samples to determine potential impact to the land from the discharge.
- Obtaining representative water samples to determine potential impact to a nearby stream from the discharge.
- Producing a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment report to present the findings of the site investigation in terms of trial pit logs, water sampling logs, figures and site photographs.
- Comparing the chemical analysis results to assessment criteria values for groundwater and soils.
- Producing a Conceptual Site Model (CSM) for the land and groundwater environment to assess the reported contamination source at a site, the migration pathways it may follow and the receptors it could impact.
