Environmental Services in Meridian, MS

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality governs voluntary and mandated cleanup programs in the state. If Phase II findings indicate contamination, MDEQ notification requirements and voluntary cleanup program enrollment can add weeks to your project schedule. We structure Phase II scopes and reports to align with MDEQ data submittal expectations from the start, reducing back-and-forth and keeping your transaction or permit process on track.

Properties adjacent to or formerly used by rail operations commonly present recognized environmental conditions including petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, and herbicides used for right-of-way maintenance. A Phase I ESA conducted under ASTM E1527-21 will identify these historical uses through records review, site reconnaissance, and interviews, flagging conditions that warrant further subsurface investigation before you commit to acquisition or development.

Construction-phase environmental support can include soil management oversight when excavation encounters suspect material, field screening of soils prior to off-site disposal, documentation for regulatory compliance, and coordination with the project team if unexpected conditions are encountered during earthwork. This keeps your schedule from stalling when a contractor hits discolored soil or an odor anomaly during grading.
