PFAS

Group Delta, an NV5 Company, prepared the workplan for assessment of PFAS in soil at a former metal plating facility. Our team worked closely with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to produce a workplan to comply with a directive to assess suspected PFAS in soil from past metal plating activities. Following approval by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the workplan was executed and soil samples were collected using strict field protocols to reduce the potential of cross-contamination from PFAS in common products. Results were presented to the Regional Board for evaluation and potential future action.

Value Added

• Regulatory Alignment and Responsiveness: Our team collaborated closely with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to develop a compliant workplan that directly addressed the directive for PFAS assessment, ensuring regulatory expectations were met efficiently.
• Field Precision and Contamination Control: Our team implemented strict field protocols during soil sampling to minimize the risk of cross-contamination from PFAS-containing consumer products, enhancing the reliability and defensibility of the data collected.
• Clear Communication and Forward Planning: Results were presented to the Regional Board in a format that supported informed evaluation and facilitated discussions for potential future actions, positioning the client for proactive environmental management.
