Locus Technologies has in the design and implementation of site investigations for the characterization of the nature and extent of contamination at industrial or commercial facilities, and residential areas.

Site characterization and remediation is governed by a variety of federal and state regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA).

Our experience includes remedial investigations at CERCLA sites, RCRA facility investigations at operating chemical plants and refineries, and investigations for property transfers, brownfields and underground storage tanks. The purpose of the site investigation is to characterize the nature and extent of contamination, to develop preliminary remedial action alternatives, and to evaluate the need for treatability studies.

The key to successful completion is designing the investigation to obtain the optimal amount of information without collecting an excessive number of samples. To optimize our investigations, Locus typically performs a statistical evaluation to determine the number of samples necessary to properly characterize the site and that will address the concerns of the regulatory agency.
