Environmental Consulting and Remediation FAQs
What is environmental consulting?
Environmental consulting provides specialized technical and regulatory guidance to help organizations assess, manage, and mitigate environmental risks and liabilities. Environmental consultants evaluate site conditions, identify contamination or regulatory concerns, develop compliance strategies, and implement remediation solutions. Services include environmental site assessments, preparation of remedial action plan designs, remedial action implementation, treatment system operation and maintenance, and regulatory site closures.
What is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a non-invasive evaluation conducted in accordance with ASTM E1527 standards to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) that may indicate the potential for contamination or environmental liability. The assessment includes site reconnaissance, historical research, regulatory database searches, and interviews to evaluate past and current site uses, identify potential contamination sources, and assess environmental risks associated with the site. Phase I assessments are typically required by lenders for commercial real estate transactions.
When is a Phase II Environmental Investigation needed?
A Phase II Environmental Investigation is needed when a Phase I assessment identifies recognized environmental conditions (RECs) or when lenders, buyers, or regulators require confirmation of site conditions through soil and groundwater sampling and analysis. Phase II investigations include soil, groundwater, or vapor sampling and laboratory analysis to quantify the presence or absence of contamination, evaluate potential human health or environmental risks, and determine if remediation is necessary. The results may guide transactional decisions, liability assessments, and remediation planning.
What hazardous materials surveys does NOVA provide?
NOVA provides comprehensive surveys of hazardous building materials, including asbestos surveys, lead-based paint assessments, and mold inspections, required prior to renovation or demolition projects. Our environmental consultants identify, sample, and quantify hazardous materials in buildings to support regulatory compliance, worker safety planning, and proper disposal of these materials. Surveys are conducted in accordance with EPA, OSHA, and state requirements to protect workers and ensure compliant material management during construction activities.
What are wetland delineation services?
Wetland delineation services identify and map jurisdictional wetlands and waters regulated under the Clean Water Act and state regulations. Environmental consultants evaluate vegetation, soils, and hydrology using federal methodology to determine wetland boundaries and jurisdiction. Delineations are required before development in or near potential wetlands to support permit applications, evaluate project impacts, and determine regulatory requirements under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
