Sampling & Monitoring Resources

ERT provides technical expertise in field sampling and environmental monitoring to meet project Data Quality Objectives (DQOs). This support for Superfund removal and remedial projects and during emergency responses includes real-time data collection with the VIPER data management system, and laboratory and analytical support. ERT field staff are experienced in the investigation, detection, and measurement of a variety of hazardous substances, oil-related compounds and industrial chemicals in environmental media (air, water, soil and biota) using a variety of instruments and monitoring devices. Our staff support the lifespan of the project from initial scoping and DQO development through data collection and analysis and ultimately use of the data as applied to operational or site decisions.
