Brownfields

• TestAmerica has provided ongoing support for the State of Hawaii Brownfields program, funded by Federal grants. Supporting brownfield redevelopment efforts at a former MSW Incinerator facility, TestAmerica performed analyses for heavy metals for a variety of investigation and cleanup actions over the past five years, and most recently has implemented multi-incremental sample processing procedures for large (2 Kg) sample composites coupled with upscaled (10 g) metals digestion procedures. TestAmerica has provided Level IV data packages for third party validation for all sites supported under this program.

• TestAmerica provides analytical support to an Eastern U.S. environmental consulting firm at six discreet project locations in support of Brownfields site assessments and redevelopment activities.. Project analytical requirements include Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC), Pesticides, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Herbicides, Total & Dissolved Metals, and inorganic parameters. Four of the six sites were funded by EPA Brownsfields Pilot Project money therefore requiring full CLP analytical protocols and data packages prepared for third party validation.

• TestAmerica provides services at a former chrome plating shop located in California, working cooperatively with a global environmental engineering firm under a USEPA Brownfields grant. Hundreds of soil and groundwater samples have been analyzed to date for VOCs, metals, and hexavalent chromium, often requiring final results within 24 hours of sample receipt at the lab.
