Environmental Services in Philadelphia County, PA

Act 2 establishes the cleanup standards and liability relief framework for voluntary remediation in Pennsylvania. If your Phase II identifies contamination, remediation and closure under Act 2 — using Statewide Health, Site-Specific, or Background Standards — is the typical pathway to regulatory closure in Philadelphia County. We can document site conditions in a format that supports Act 2 submissions, though formal remedial design is coordinated with a licensed Pennsylvania environmental professional.

Construction-phase environmental support typically includes soil screening during excavation using a photoionization detector (PID), collection of confirmation samples for laboratory analysis, and waste characterization to determine whether excavated material can be reused on site or requires off-site disposal as regulated waste. Sampling protocols are developed around site-specific conditions and any existing Act 2 or PADEP requirements already established for the property.

Phase I ESAs are conducted in accordance with ASTM E1527-21, the current standard practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. Our assessments address the four components defined in E1527-21 — records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, and report — and are completed by an environmental professional meeting the qualifications defined in the standard and in EPA's All Appropriate Inquiries rule at 40 CFR Part 312.
