Landing Groundwater Monitorng Services
Landfills have the potential to pose serious environmental and groundwater contamination risks. Landfill monitoring is critical to ensure decomposition of the refuse takes place appropriately and generated leachate does not pollutes the groundwater.
Breakdown of waste and leachate production continue to contaminate soil and groundwater even after the landfill is closed, possessing a risk to the environment and groundwater, making ongoing landfill monitoring important.
ChemServe is a leading laboratory experienced with landfill groundwater monitoring services. Landfill groundwater monitoring is the only solution to detect and monitor underlying groundwater contamination and demonstrate if there is any risk for the migration of hazardous constituents from the unit into the groundwater. Our services play a crucial role in environmental protection by meeting the regulatory compliances of the Environment Protection Agency (EPA).
Understanding Landfill Ground Water Monitoring
Landfills are municipal solid waste collection sites for household and commercial waste. They contain high levels of organic, inorganic, xenobiotics and heavy metals, which in rain, mix with water and form leachates which can percolate through the subsoil and contaminate the groundwater.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues strict guidelines for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and requires landfill monitoring by a qualified groundwater scientist for sampling and analysis. Furthermore, additional legislation requires strict regulatory procedures for the location and management of landfills.
Established on a Foundation of Trust
In the early 1970s, ChemServe Environmental Analysts was founded as a local laboratory specializing in drinking water analysis, coinciding with the establishment of the EPA. It was originally based in a different location but later relocated to Milford, NH, in 1986. After moving, the laboratory shifted its focus towards catering to commercial, industrial, and municipal clients. The laboratory experienced significant growth throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to its transformation into a comprehensive environmental testing company that provides a wide range of testing services.
