Excavation and removal of underground tanks and surrounding soil.
Replacement of fuel storage tanks in residential and commercial buildings.
Install pumps, compressors and piping associated with sub-slab soil vapor and groundwater remediation systems.
Assist with drilling boreholes both in-and outdoors to collect soil, air and water samples.
Maintain tools and equipment in good working order.

Keep inventory of expendable supplies and materials.
Maintain accurate field notes.

Qualifications;

A minimum 2-year college degree or graduate of an accredited technical school.
Demonstrated mechanical and/or construction skills.
40-hr HAZWOPER training, plus a current 8-hr refresher course is preferred, but can be provided.
Physical ability to work outdoors in summer and winter months.
Valid U.S. driver's license.

If contamination is discovered, LAUREL can design and optimize an economical mitigation plan that is environmentally sound. In some cases, early implementation of a proactive remedial strategy will permit a property transaction to move forward while a clean-up is in progress.

Phase II Soil / Groundwater Testing

When there is suspicion of contaminated soil or contaminated groundwater at a site, sampling and analysis must be completed to confirm the presence or absence of the suspected contaminants. This is achieved through the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and sampling of soil from cores.

The validity of the results obtained through this sampling relies heavily on the proper placement of monitoring wells and soil borings, though the placement is largely subjective. It is therefore important for a highly skilled scientist to conduct research on site history and visual reconnaissance in formulating a plan, and final decision of proper placement of the monitoring wells and borings to obtain relevant samples.

Whenever possible, LAUREL makes every effort to limit costs, damage to property and especially disruption of business, through the use of the latest state of the art drilling and sampling equipment available.

DATA COLLECTION

Correct media sampling methods are just as important as proper well installations and sampling point decisions. Utilizing the correct sampling equipment and decontamination techniques, LAUREL ensures that no cross contamination has occurred. Without exception, only properly trained and certified staff collect samples.

SOIL BORINGS AND MONITORING WELL INSTALLATIONS

When there is suspicion of contaminated soil or contaminated groundwater at a site, sampling and analysis must be completed to confirm the presence or absence of the suspected contaminants. This is achieved through the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and sampling of soil from cores.

GROUNDWATER/SOIL SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS

Groundwater depths and product thicknesses are determined using an oil/water interface probe. Wells are developed using a bladder pump, to a turbidity (a measure of the silt present in water) of 50 nephelometric units (NTU's), or less to ensure proper hydraulic connection with the surrounding aquifer.

SLUDGE
SAMPLING

LAUREL has found that septic systems, and industrial and storm water leaching pools are often receptors of significant contamination at any given property. By design, these systems leach as much water as possible into the ground.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

LAUREL conducts geophysical surveys to aid in the discovery of underground storage tanks, buried drums, fill material, unexposed drywells and large scale subsurface hydrocarbon contamination with no excavation or drilling necessary.

BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT

When there is suspicion of contaminated soil or contaminated groundwater at a site, sampling and analysis must be completed to confirm the presence or absence of the suspected contaminants. This is achieved through the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and sampling of soil from cores.

The validity of the results obtained through this sampling relies heavily on the proper placement of monitoring wells and soil borings, though the placement is largely subjective. It is therefore important for a highly skilled scientist to conduct research on site history and visual reconnaissance in formulating a plan, and final decision of proper placement of the monitoring wells and borings to obtain relevant samples.
