Environmental Services in Baltimore, MD

Sites near former industrial corridors often warrant targeted subsurface investigation addressing petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, and solvent compounds consistent with historical use. Scope is shaped by the recognized environmental conditions identified in the Phase I. Soil sampling follows ASTM E1903 guidance, and boring locations are chosen to evaluate likely migration pathways given the site's stratigraphy and proximity to drainage features or tidal influence.

Enrollment in Maryland's Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP), administered by MDE, can define the cleanup standard tied to intended land use and provide liability protections upon completion. The assessment process should produce data formatted to support a VCP application when that pathway is anticipated. We coordinate scope and reporting with your environmental counsel or project team to align deliverables with MDE submission requirements from the start.

Yes. Construction-phase environmental support includes soil screening during earthwork, documentation of unexpected finds, coordination with the project team when conditions differ from Phase II predictions, and chain-of-custody management for samples requiring laboratory analysis. The laboratory operates under a documented quality system. This oversight helps prevent schedule disruption when contaminated material is encountered and provides documentation useful for regulatory reporting.

Field work in Baltimore is dispatched through the Washington, DC regional hub, about 35 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Baltimore projects.

Field sampling and testing in Baltimore are performed by our ACI- and NICET-certified technicians. Environmental engineering and professional services are delivered with professionals licensed in Maryland, coordinated under one proposal.
