The rapid growth of industry in the United States over the last century has caused areas of land to become contaminated over many years. The soil and groundwater surrounding old factories, chemical plants, and gas stations, for example, may contain hazardous contaminants which can, in some cases, present a human and ecological health risk. In addition some naturally occurring substances (such as arsenic) may represent a risk even on previously undeveloped sites.  Aspen Environmental can perform a variety of environmental site investigations, including subsurface investigations, to identify and delineate soil and groundwater/surface water contamination on a property.  This is accomplished through a variety of methods used to investigate, delineate, and characterize the subsurface contamination. These methods include GeoprobeTM "direct push" sampling and monitoring well installation. We follow all industry standards for quality assurance/quality control during drilling, sampling, and well installation activities.  Our staff at Aspen Environmental is experienced in evaluating analytical data and determining applicable action levels for the contaminants of concern. We can help you determine the potential need for site remediation and provide an estimate of the associated cleanup costs.

Industries

The popularity of “green” and “environmentally friendly” companies is on the rise and regulatory compliance requirements will shortly become even stricter.  Pollution prevention is a key aspect of maintaining regulatory compliance.  All industrial facilities must meet stringent Federal, state, and local requirements for storm water runoff, wastewater discharge, bulk oil storage, toxic chemical storage, and air emissions.  Aspen Environmental provides services to help your business comply with these regulatory requirements.  Our services include development of environmental plans, such as SPCC, SWPPP, and Emergency Action Plans, as well as training in each of these areas.  We can also provide assistance with EPCRA (SARA Title III) reporting, air permitting, NPDES permitting, OSHA compliance assistance and ISO 14001.  As a result of the numerous regulations which govern water, wastewater, air, and waste disposal, many companies are uncertain of the compliance status of their operations.  Aspen Environmental can conduct a complete environmental facility audit to determine and document where the company stands with respect to each of the many complex environmental regulations that exist today. As part of a facility audit, the staff at Aspen Environmental will familiarize themselves with every facet of a company's processes and related waste streams in order to evaluate which environmental regulations are applicable. We can then recommend methods to achieve or enhance environmental compliance.

Municipalities

Many municipalities are under increasing pressure to provide and improve services. This often includes re-development of city-owned land or acquisitions of new property.  Aspen Environmental can assist in the due diligence process for prospective property purchases, as well as perform other types of environmental site investigations on properties that may or may not already be owned by the city.  These include subsurface investigations, environmental reviews for redevelopment of land, as well as environmental permitting and planning services.
