While laboratory testing is an important part of environmental assessments, the collection of high-quality field samples is a pre-requisite to obtaining technically accurate and legally defensible results. Furthermore, the evaluation of actual “real-world” or in situ conditions in the field is becoming increasingly important in the characterization and resolution of potential environmental impacts. Pacific EcoRisk field sampling teams are well-trained and fully equipped (including a fleet of sampling vehicles and sampling boats) to provide high quality sampling of creeks, rivers, agricultural drains, lakes, ponds, and bays and estuaries including sampling during inclement conditions and/or on limited notice.

Biological assessments utilize information from biological communities, along with measures of physical and habitat characteristics, to provide data for water quality management purposes, including the identification of contaminant sources, causes and severity of impairments, evaluation of the effectiveness of control measures and restoration activities, use attainability studies, and trend monitoring. Based on the expertise of the PER management team and highly trained field scientists, Pacific EcoRisk has performed biological assessment studies in support of NPDES permit requirements, Superfund studies, watershed surveys, and pesticide application surveys using a suite of sampling methods developed for creeks, rivers, agricultural drainages, lakes, and estuaries.
