Wetlands are the link between the land and the water. They are transition zones where the flow of water, the cycling of nutrients, and the energy of the sun meet to produce a unique ecosystem characterized by hydrology, soils, and vegetation. By definition, wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions (United States Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Register 1982; United Stated Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Register 1980).

The Aztech team takes a focused approach to assist our clients with Site Assessments and due diligence for property acquisitions, refinancing, or divestments. We focus on the end result given our experience with not only Site Assessments, but our vast knowledge of managing potentially impacted media.  Our client’s goals and objectives as well as their risk tolerance are at the forefront of our approach in developing an investigation program that balances cost with potential risk.

We have extensive experience assisting clients in maintaining regulatory compliance in a wide variety of retail, commercial and industrial sectors. Our geologists, scientists and engineers are experienced and capable of handling all petroleum tank needs, from compliance and audit issues to the removal and subsequent sampling and remediation. We provide solutions that meet the particular needs of a client, from permit preparation support and auditing to full portfolio management for a facility’s compliance requirements.

While soil vapor intrusion evaluations are often performed as part of the site assessment process, the recent emphasis placed on potential vapor intrusion by the regulatory community has resulted in sites that previously required no further action to be “re-opened” for the sole purpose of evaluating the potential for vapor intrusion. This is especially true at sites where residual contamination was left in-place. Additionally, vapor intrusion evaluations are now routinely included with site assessment/remedial investigation programs for new sites when applicable. This can result in the identification of previously unknown or unexpected health concerns for property owners, residents, and tenants, as well as liability risks and potential financial implications for our clients. Fortunately, Aztech has been a leader in evaluating and mitigating real or perceived soil vapor concerns for our clients at hundreds of commercial, industrial and residential locations.
