ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Pollution Concerns
Meryman Environmental offers comprehensive Contamination Assessment services. Regardless of the nature of the contaminant, the mission of each project is the same: To cost-effectively obtain the assessment data necessary to meet regulatory requirements and, concurrently, achieve the client's objectives. The available technology for data collection and analysis is as varied as the facilities under regulatory scrutiny. Our scientists have successfully executed hundreds of Contamination Assessment projects using standard drilling and sampling techniques, and such innovative methodologies as:

  • Direct Push Sampling
  • On-site Laboratory Analysis
  • Field PCB Sampling and Analysis
  • Field Organic Vapor Analysis
  • Magnetometer Surveys
  • Ground Penetrating Radar
  • Mobile Laboratory

With thorough documentation and concise, effective presentation of the data, we routinely achieve "first-time approvals" on Contamination Assessment Reports. Effective planning and forethought in the Contamination Assessment phase enables us to cost-effectively collect many of the data elements required for effective remediation of the contaminants. Whether aggressive treatment is required or natural attenuation is appropriate, our goal is to provide the client, the regulatory community, and the public with cost-effective remediation strategies for public safety.

Remediation of contaminated media, whether soil, ground water, surface water, buildings, or equipment requires a thorough knowledge of the chemical's properties and its behavior in the environment. Meryman's scientists have designed, constructed, and operated Remediation Systems for such clients as:

  • Capri Development, LLC
  • Kiewit Southern Company
  • CSX Transportation
  • Southgate Eureka Associates Ltd Partnership
  • Florida Department of Environmental Protection

Remediation technologies implemented include:

  • Air Sparging
  • Free Product Recovery
  • Soil Vapor Extraction
  • Low-Profile Air Stripping
  • Landfill Excavation and Disposal
  • Natural Attenuation
  • Bioremediation

Meryman's experienced staff ensures remediation equipment is kept operational and optimized for the fastest and most effective remediation possible. Our remediation performance record demonstrates that a technically sound engineering design and quality construction must go together to provide ultimate customer service and cost-effectiveness for our clients in order to receive an Agency's Site Rehabilitation Competition Order (SRCO).
