  • LTR - Ep 49 - The Fundamentals of Field Sampling
    Apr 29 2026

    In this 49th episode, I review an article I wrote a little over two years ago entitled "The Fundamentals of Field Sampling."

    In short, the keys are to have reliable field measurements to guide you to know when to knowledgeably send samples to The Laboratory for Third Party Validation as "Confirmatory Samples," confirming what you were able to see in the filed while performing the remediation work.

  • LTR - Ep 48 - The Goal of Environmental Site Assessments - Final Report and Closure
    Apr 22 2026

    In this 48th episode, I discuss The Goal of Environmental Site Assessments. Final Report and Closure.

    The Goal of performing Environmental Site Assessments is to generate a Final Report to be submitted to the necessary Regulatory bodies to obtain a Closure Report that indicated No Further Remediation is required.

    In order to obtain this, a final Report must be prepared and submitted to the necessary Regulatory Bodies. This Final Report is a complete summary of everything regarding all Phase of Environmental Site Assessments that were performed that give the Regulatory Bodies all the information they need to issue this recommendation. Total Disclosure of all activities is the best practice to be successful upon this submission.

  • LTR - Ep 47 - What Is A Phase 3 Environmental Site Assessment?
    Apr 15 2026

    In this 47th episode, I discuss What Is A Phase 3 Environmental Site Assessment?

    A Phase 3 Environmental Site Assessment ("ESA") is recommended when the concern of possible contamination was recommended by a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment to proceed with a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment. And in the Phase 2, during the sampling, contamination was confirmed.

    A Phase 3 Environmental Assessment is a two step process. The first step is to create a Remedial Action Plan (RAP). This is the plan on how the remediation will be performed. Then the second step is to put that plan into the action of performing the remediation.

    So a Phase 3 Environmental Site Assessment is the creating of the remediation plan and performing the remediation.
