Soil Sampling Plans
At Sound, we handle various sized sampling projects using a cost-effective system to reduce the on-site sampling cost. Our technicians come to your site with populated data on sampling media, paperwork, and chain of custody forms to increase efficiency. Our laboratory services deliver the results expeditiously. We provide a Field Sampling Summary Report with documentation to support recommendations and solutions for reuse and disposal. We have solid relationships with various disposal facilities to manage your waste coordinating all trucking, manifesting, and final disposal.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)
Construction projects often result in a land disturbance that can create significant runoff if not controlled. Construction projects can have stockpile areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, hazardous material storage areas, and equipment storage areas to release pollutants into the environment.
At Sound, our plans detail the potential pollutant sources and provide the control measures to prevent their release. Our SWPP Professional performs the required inspections in detail based on the Specification’s alignment to meet federal regulations to ensure compliance.
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans
Sound designs environmental plans for Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures. We establish procedures, methods, and equipment requirements to prevent environmental releases. Our plans detail the supplies necessary to mitigate against spills, including secondary containment systems for tanks, waste drums, chemicals, and other related items. We describe procedures for storing hazardous materials, labeling, layout, and posting emergency information with checklists. We provide daily inspection checklists; emergency spills cleanup procedures with instructions on containing and cleaning up the spills.
Hazardous Waste Contingency Plans
If you need a Hazardous Waste Contingency plans for your project, Sound is perfect for the job. We design plans that detail specifications for emergency response and prevention procedures for mitigating hazardous materials. It will also provide guidance to minimize risks associated with a significant spill, explosion, fire, or release of hazardous material into the environment. Our Principal has extensive experience working with hospitals, and Federal Agencies to develop emergency preparedness plans, drills, and full-scale emergency response events.
Asbestos, Mercury, Lead and PCB Management Plans
At Sound, we design plans for construction sites that may have asbestos, lead, mercury, and PCBs. They are prepared to meet your project Specification and include procedures and training for handling these materials. The plans describe the work controls, PPE, air monitoring requirements, and waste disposal options for each waste stream generated by the project.
Community Air Monitoring Plans
Community Air Monitoring is a requirement when excavating petroleum-contaminated soil near residential areas. The purpose of the plan is to protect the public against chemical exposures during excavation by providing monitoring. The intent is to provide a measure of protection for the downwind community with detailed actions to abate emissions, and if necessary, shut down the worksite based on the monitoring. The plan includes setting up real-time monitoring instruments to measure Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and particulates (i.e., dust) at upwind and downwind perimeter locations when intrusive soil activities are in progress. The monitoring helps confirm that the work activities did not cause the spread of contamination off-site.
Construction Waste Management Plans (CWMP)
At Sound, we design plans to maximize the reuse, salvage, or recycling of construction waste. Sound’s Construction Waste Management Plan creates goals to ensure environmentally and economically responsible methods to salvage and recycle as much construction waste as possible. The CWMP is a detailed guide for managing multiple waste streams generated for your site.
