A Phase II Site Assessment is often performed with the help of a Geoprobe. Often times, a Geoprobe is used for sampling and drilling, as this is preferred over a conventional drilling equipment. That’s why Talon/LPE often enlists the help of a Geoprobe.
What is a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment?
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) take place after a Phase I. These assessments are performed if contamination was found in the Phase I. However, if there was no contamination found in the Phase I, there is no need to pursue a Phase II ESA.
A Phase II helps to determine the extent of contamination at the site. A plan of remediation is established during this time, allowing all parties involved to know the cost and time that will likely be associated with this remediation project. Furthermore, a plan of action must be approved by all local, state and federal environmental agencies.
A Geoprobe is a direct-push machine that allows for sub surface sampling in a cost effective manner. It drives hollow boring rods down into the ground using static and percussive force. The benefits of using a Geoprobe are ample and can be seen below:
