At Raw Earth Environmental, we understand the importance of confirming a property has been successfully remediated. This includes ensuring that a property meets regulatory standards, and is suitable for its intended use. Our site validation services ensure that your work site is safe, compliant, and ready for development. The process of site validation is crucial for property owners, developers, and construction managers in order to maintain regulatory compliance, as well as to protect public health and the environment.

What Is Site Validation?

Site Validation is the final step in the remediation process. It is the step where our team confirms that a site has been adequately cleaned and meets all relevant environmental and safety standards. This process involves the following:

1. Review and Implementation of a Remediation Action Plan (RAP): A RAP outlines the necessary steps for site remediation. It includes detailed procedures for removing contaminants and ensuring the site meets safety standards. At Raw Earth Environmental, we develop and implement RAPs tailored to each site’s specific needs.
2. Verification Sampling and Analysis: We conduct thorough sampling and analysis to verify that contaminants have been effectively removed. This step is crucial to confirm that the site is free from harmful substances and safe for its intended use.
3. Evaluation and Final Validation Report: After completing the remediation and verification steps, we complete a final validation report. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the remediation process, sampling results, and confirmation that the site meets regulatory standards.

UST (Underground Storage Tank) validation and ENM (Excavated Natural Material) validation are specific types of site validation. They fall under the broader category of site validation but focus on particular aspects of environmental safety and compliance.

UST Validation

Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are common sources of soil and groundwater contamination. Proper UST validation is essential to ensure these tanks have been removed or remediated according to environmental regulations.

• Soil and Groundwater Sampling: We conduct detailed soil and groundwater sampling around the UST area to check for contamination.
• Compliance with Environmental Standards: Our UST validation process ensures that any contamination is addressed, and the site complies with environmental standards.
  

ENM Validation

Excavated Natural Material (ENM) validation ensures that natural materials, such as soil, are free from contaminants and safe for reuse or disposal.

• Assessment of Natural Materials: We assess natural materials to confirm they meet safety standards.
• Environmental Safety: Our validation process ensures that ENM can be used or disposed of without posing environmental risks.

Comprehensive Site Validation Services

Our site validation services are designed to provide you with peace of mind, whilst also maintaining regulatory compliance. Here’s how our teams ensure successful site validation:

1. Asbestos Identification and Assessment: We conduct thorough site inspections to identify the presence and extent of contaminants, including asbestos. Our team evaluates the site to determine the appropriate remediation approach.
2. Remediation Planning: We develop customised plans for site remediation, compliant with all regulations. Our site-specific remediation strategies align with local, state, and federal guidelines, ensuring a seamless and compliant process.
3. Safe Removal: Our team is equipped with the expertise and tools necessary to safely remove contaminants from the site. We use established techniques to prevent the release of harmful substances during the removal process.
4. Validation and Reporting: After remediation, we conduct validation assessments to confirm that the site meets environmental standards. We provide comprehensive reports to document the remediation process and outcomes.

Expertise in Large-Scale Development Sites

At Raw Earth Environmental, we have extensive experience handling site validation, specifically across large-scale development sites, construction sites, and industrial areas. Our expertise ensures effective management of contamination, providing safe and efficient solutions for complex projects.

For detailed examples of our work, check out our completed projects on the Londonderry Car Wreckers and Wallaga Lake Asbestos Remediation. Both projects involved thorough site assessments, implementation of tailored Remediation Action Plans (RAPs), and rigorous validation processes to confirm the sites were free from contaminants and safe for future use. These steps ensured compliance with environmental standards and demonstrated Raw Earth's comprehensive approach to managing and mitigating contamination effectively.
