Environmental Services in Jacksonville, FL

Shallow groundwater — common across much of northeast Florida's sandy coastal plain — means soil borings and groundwater monitoring points may encounter saturated conditions at relatively shallow depths. This influences the selection of sampling intervals, the equipment used for groundwater collection, and the laboratory analyses ordered. The investigation scope is designed around site-specific depth-to-water conditions observed during fieldwork, consistent with ASTM E1903 guidance for Phase II investigations.

Proximity to the St. Johns River system or jurisdictional wetlands introduces regulatory considerations beyond standard ESA scope, including potential FDEP and Army Corps of Engineers permitting thresholds. While the Phase I ESA under ASTM E1527-21 addresses recognized environmental conditions on the property itself, we flag adjacent surface water and wetland features in the report so your team and counsel can identify whether separate wetland delineation or permitting support is warranted.

Former dry cleaners and petroleum retail sites are among the most common sources of recognized environmental conditions in urban infill markets. A Phase II under ASTM E1903 would typically include soil borings with field screening, discrete soil samples submitted for chlorinated solvent or petroleum hydrocarbon analysis, and groundwater sampling if depth-to-water permits. Analytical work is processed through our laboratory, which operates under a documented quality system.

Field work in Jacksonville is dispatched through the Orlando, FL regional hub, about 125 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Jacksonville projects.
