WET provides valuable consulting services to its clients, developing engineering and hydrologic solutions to a wide variety of water and environmental-related problems.
WET provides turnkey services in each of its project areas, including assessment, design, implementation, and reporting, all within the limits of federal and state regulatory agencies such as the EPA or the Departments of Environmental Quality within various states. WET also strives to maintain a positive working relationship with these regulatory personnel and to act as a representative for its clients. WET personnel gain special satisfaction from seeing a project through from start to finish.
WET’s service capabilities adapt to a wide range of clients, from large industrial corporations to small, family-owned businesses. WET provides outstanding customer service to all of its clients, regardless of their size. WET employs highly-educated personnel with special training and technical skills, capable of offering its clients additional services over those of its competitors. WET believes these business traits make it unique from other businesses.
WET’s primary services can be classified into the following major categories:
WET provides a wide range of ground water monitoring services. Employees are well experienced in monitoring of various types: landfill monitoring, private water well analysis, Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) contaminated sites, water quality well networks, as well as other ground water issues. WET has completed projects with contaminants of concern such as MTBE, gasoline and diesel fuel, organic solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, nitrate and phosphate, and others.
WET’s primary concern when performing ground water monitoring projects is the adherence to strict quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures. WET’s QA/QC procedures prevent common sampling problems, such as cross contamination, and ensure only the highest quality data collection.
When large scale, complex ground water issues arise, geochemical analysis is a useful tool in answering ground water flow, surface water interaction, and contaminant migration questions in an economical manner. This analysis is very useful for landfills, industrial sites, and large-scale ground water resource and production problems.
Regulatory issues involving contaminants and effects on ground water resources often require prediction of hydrogeologic conditions and contaminant transport into the future, or the ability to test the feasibility of several corrective action scenarios without the installation of a remediation system. WET has completed ground water and contaminant transport modeling on various projects.
WET personnel provide consulting services to both public and private organizations in the development of resource protection and monitoring plans. These plans are directed at preserving ground water and surface water bodies and their surrounding ecosystems from degradation due to changes in various watershed conditions, such as human development, irrigation, logging, and other factors.
In the lending and real estate market, WET can provide an invaluable tool in a property transaction. Whether it is commercial, residential, or rural property, proper identification and analysis of environmental hazards can prevent costly cleanup bills and excessive financial exposure for buyers, sellers, and lenders. WET has performed Phase I, II, and III environmental audits on properties from small commercial buildings to large ranch properties.
Each Phase I assessment consists of a comprehensive background and records search, to identify past property uses and possible hazardous waste operations. An on-site investigation of the property is then performed focused on identifying current or past practices that may present an environmental liability, such as chemical use, fuel tanks, waste management, illegal dumping, etc. A final report is then prepared summarizing the assessment results and recommending future action at the site, if necessary. All assessments are completed in accordance with ASTM 2000 Standards.
Once an environmental impact has been identified, WET personnel have extensive experience in the delineation of the magnitude and extent of the impact, and the development of a unique monitoring and/or remedial action plan to address the situation. Once projects reach the monitoring phase, WET has a proven track record of reducing monitoring parameters and monitoring frequency, allowing long-term cost savings for its Clients.
WET provides turn-key design and construction services on soil and ground water remediation projects. WET performs a full delineation of the magnitude and extent of contamination, as well as a pilot study of the proposed remediation technology, to ensure the completion of a successful project. WET has applied remedial design technologies such as air sparging, vapor extraction, bioremediation, pump and treat, activated carbon, over-excavation, ORC injection, NAPL free-product recovery, and many others. Remedial designs have addressed contaminants of concern including gasoline, diesel, various organic solvents, chromium, lead, mercury, creosote, pentachlorophenol, dieldrin, aldrin, chlordane, lindane, and others.
WET's professionals have completed various projects pertaining to the control and cleanup of hazardous wastes. We provide proper identification, characterization, cleanup, and disposal of hazardous wastes to ensure that projects are completed in a timely and thorough manner. Our professionals are well-experienced in all applicable regulations pertaining to hazardous waste sites, including RCRA, CERCLA, and CECRA projects.
The addition of an experienced hydrogeologist on any water development project is essential. WET’s hydrogeologists bring expertise to the project that usually result in a net savings on the project. The savings show up in many ways, such as increased well efficiency from the choice of correct drilling methods, decreased drilling and permitting costs, reduced time to obtain important water rights, and decreased long term project costs with the recommendation of a water maintenance plan. WET’s professionals provide guidance on all aspects of water production projects, including well design, well permitting, water rights procurement, and construction oversight.
WET provides expert witness services for all aspects of ground water production, water rights, and contamination. WET has provided successful litigation support on landfill projects, water rights projects, illegal hazardous waste dumping, contamination of ground water and soil, and facility operations.
WET’s expert witness duties include educating the attorney on the technical issues, aiding in selecting an expert witness team, supervising the technical team, identifying pertinent questions for the opposing experts, and most importantly, open identification of technical weaknesses in the case.
WET personnel have provided Underground Storage Tank (UST) consulting services on hundreds of sites including gasoline, diesel, and waste oil facilities. WET works closely with both the client and regulatory agency to ensure that the project is addressed in a timely and cost-effective manner. From plume delineation to remedial design to long-term monitoring plans, WET applies its expertise to ensure that all site issues are properly addressed.
WET provides complete subdivision permitting services, including all ground water, surface water, and septic issues. WET’s close working relationship with State regulators allows timely completion of its Client's projects.
WET provides consulting services on site development, storm water management, wastewater management and water supply issues related to development of a new site or upgrading existing facilities
