Environmental Services in Concord, NH

The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services oversees contamination assessment and remediation under RSA 147-B and related rules. If your Phase II findings indicate regulated concentrations, NHDES notification and oversight requirements may apply. We structure Phase II work plans with that regulatory pathway in mind, so sampling locations, analytical parameters, and documentation meet what the agency expects if findings escalate to a formal investigation or remediation case.

Mill-era properties often carry recognized environmental conditions tied to historic solvent use, dye operations, ash disposal, or underground fuel storage. The Phase I assessment follows ASTM E1527-21 regardless of site age, but historical research depth — including Sanborn maps, city directories, and aerial photo sequences — becomes especially important on older industrial parcels. The report documents all identified RECs so lenders and counsel have a clear picture of potential liability before transaction close.

Frozen ground does not prevent Phase II work but does require coordination. Direct-push drilling through frost is feasible with appropriate equipment, though mobilization planning and access conditions matter. Groundwater sampling from temporary installations during hard-freeze periods requires attention to purge procedures and seal integrity. We schedule around site-specific conditions and communicate realistic timelines so project schedules are not caught off guard by seasonal constraints.

Field work in Concord is dispatched through the Boston, MA regional hub, about 64 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Concord projects.

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