Risk-Based Corrective Action

Risk-based corrective action helps businesses reliably predict the cost of environmental remediation.

Modern is one of only a handful of consulting firms that engages projects with a full use of risk-based criteria when performing due diligence. As an evolving practice area, our staff are constantly interacting with regulators and our clients on what site-specific parameters mean to the ultimate project goals and budget.

  • Institutional and Engineering Controls

    Modern Geosciences can help evaluate which institutional and engineering controls may be right for you project to prevent and minimize on-site environmental risks. […]

  • Incremental Sampling Design

    For larger projects where individual sampling of discrete points can lead to diminishing returns and exhaustive costs, Modern Geosciencs has worked with ways to represent large areas or volumes using incremental sampling design methods to ensure you understand site conditions. These efforts are often employed when real-time field decisions are needed to help keep a project schedule as short as possible. […]

  • Impacted Soil and Groundwater Management

    Without proper planning you can often find yourself inadvertently exposing construction staff to situations they are not trained for or worse, spreading contamination to other properties where you now become an additional responsible party. Working with properties requiring impacted soil and groundwater management requires thinking beyond the closure process to ensure long term liability is minimized. […]

  • Geodatabase Development

    As we encounter more and more data, it is important we develop the tools to effective use and share this information. Geodatabases serve as the basic collection tools to build GIS-referenced datasets. With this, you can generate relevant maps and databases for your project. […]

  • Expedited Lead Assessment

    Lead is a common contaminant found in everything from paint to large-scale soil impacts resulting from historic smelter operations that can affect hundreds of acres. […]
