An Environmental Site Assessment is conducted to identify potential environmental concerns related to on-site and off-site activities. A phased approach allows the clients to maximize the information obtained while minimizing costs. Nova begins with routine research and on-site reconnaissance. Subsequent phases of investigation further define areas of concern and evaluate corrective actions.

Upon identifying environmental concerns related to on-site and off-site activities at a given property, Nova will often recommend a subsurface investigation to further evaluate the effect of the environmental concerns identified to subsurface soil, soil vapor and/or groundwater and any resulting risks to human health or the environment.  All investigations are implemented in accordance with applicable local regulatory requirements.
