Environmental Associates, Inc.
Remedial Investigations/Feasibility Studies
Since our inception, Shield has been a recognized industry leader in providing innovative environmental remediation
consulting services. Our experience includes detailed site characterizations of hazardous and toxic waste sites
completed in support of comprehensive remedial investigations/feasibility studies under Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and various state-led activities.
Our services include developing cost-effective work plans,
conducting site investigations, preparing human health
endangerment or risk assessments, analyzing data, conducting
computer modeling and statistical analyses, presenting and
recommending innovative remedial actions, and ultimately
clean-closing or properly containing contamination, as
appropriate.
Meeting the challenge of rapidly changing regulations requires flexibility and the application of new technologies.
Shield’s multidisciplinary team of highly qualified environmental, civil, and chemical engineers; hydrogeologists;
geologists; biologists; toxicologists; and environmental scientists apply their broad experience and technical
expertise to identify and evaluate the most cost-effective alternative and treatment technology for each site.
►Remedial investigations are conducted to determine the nature and extent of contamination.
►Feasibility studies develop, identify and rank the potential technologies to be utilized if a
corrective measure is necessary.
►The structure of feasibility studies will vary depending on client preferences, site-specific
variables, regulatory framework, and the ultimate use of the site.
►The selected remedial plan depends upon various components including the nature and
extent of contamination, health and safety concerns, and off-site migration.
