Environmental assessment

Cardinal Resources has conducted environmental assessments ranging from complex Superfund investigations to routine stormwater collection programs. We understand the nuances of each type of assessment and plan the scope of work to meet the goals of the project.

Environmental assessments are performed for a variety of reasons.  They can be mandated under regulatory programs or undertaken to evaluate environmental risk, design site clean-ups, obtain a release from liability, or assess the progress of a remedial action.  Cardinal Resources’ personnel are experienced in designing assessment programs to focus on the clients’ plans for the property and the regulatory program under which the work is performed.  We are experts in working with analytical laboratories and using creative approaches to present the results of the assessment succinctly, with graphics and data presentations that tell the story. 

We perform:

  • Surface water evaluations

  • Drilling in unconsolidated and consolidated material

  • Surface and subsurface soil sampling

  • Soil gas sampling

  • Groundwater sampling

  • Aquifer characterization

  • Geophysical studie

  • Dye trace studies
