The Challenge
Integrated Sustainability was retained by the client to conduct a Soils Assessment for an abandoned natural gas well site. A Soils Assessment Program was required to determine if there are any areas of environmental concern on the site and to support the application of a British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) Certificate of Restoration (COR) for the site.
The Result
Integrated Sustainability developed and executed the following scope of work:
- A desktop characterization of the overburden materials, local geological conditions, and hydrogeology of the region.
- Identification of areas of potential environmental concern (APECs) ad potential contaminants of concern (PCOCs).
- An intrusive investigation to characterize the types, concentrations, an locations of any PCOCs that may be present.
- Preparation of a report summarizing the findings.
