Earth Forensics utilizes its extensive field experience and technical know-how to design, construct, and install permanent and temporary groundwater monitoring wells for collection of groundwater samples.  

Applications:

• Assess water quality
  
• Assess water chemistry
• Well maintenance and rehabilitation
• Underground Storage Tank (UST) Investigations
• Determine formation hydraulic connectivity for RBCA/MNA and remedial action design
• Cost-effective temporary samplers to define vertical and lateral extent of contamination
  
• Permanent monitoring wells

Site Reconnaissance

Optimizing placement and quantity of boreholes and wells to obtain the most reliable data requires site specific evaluation, including geological, hydrogeological, climatological, and subsurface conditions. In addition to the physical site conditions such as site access, utility locations, and potential hazards. 

Permitting & Regulatory Requirements

Earth Forensics takes responsibility for permits, licensing, professional registration, and compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulatory procedures for drilling, well installation and well decommissioning. 

Methodology/Drilling Methods

Earth Forensics takes great care in selecting the drilling method(s) and materials that will provide the most accurate representative data. Proper installation procedures, materials and methods ensure that samples are unbiased, the possibilities of subsurface or cross-contamination are eliminated or minimized and drilling costs are kept to a minimum.

Site Safety Plans

Site safety and health plans for drilling activities are unique to each project. Earth Forensics geologists prepare site specific safety plans to ensure that all personnel conform to safety and environmental procedures to protect workers, minimize waste, preserve the environment.
