Environmental Services in Wake County, NC

Former agricultural land in the North Carolina Piedmont can carry residual concerns from organochlorine pesticide applications, underground fuel storage for farm equipment, and on-site waste disposal practices. A Phase I ESA conducted under ASTM E1527-21 will evaluate historical records and site reconnaissance for these indicators. Depending on findings, targeted soil sampling during a Phase II investigation may be appropriate to evaluate whether residual concentrations affect the project.

North Carolina's Brownfields Program, administered by NCDEQ, offers liability protection and regulatory closure for eligible redevelopment projects. A Phase II ESA completed under ASTM E1903-19 typically provides the subsurface data needed to support a Brownfields Agreement application. Early coordination between your environmental consultant, legal counsel, and NCDEQ can help align investigation scope with program requirements and avoid duplicative sampling rounds that delay the project schedule.

We can provide soil classification observation during excavation, documentation of material disposition for regulated soils, and support for soil management plan implementation. If underground storage tanks are encountered, we coordinate observation and sampling consistent with NCDEQ UST Section requirements. Field notes and daily reports give the contractor and owner a defensible record of how impacted material was managed, which is useful for regulatory submittals and future due diligence.

Field work in Wake County is dispatched through the Raleigh, NC regional hub. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Wake County projects.

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