Keeping groundwater, waterways, and reservoirs pollution-free is critical to the health and safety of the environment, especially to humans, plants, and animals. Hence, federal and state agencies often come up with ways to observe these resources to ensure that they are protected, especially when they are near areas of redevelopment, businesses, or construction that may introduce pollution and contaminants to them. An environment survey is a reliable means to locate and analyze monitor wells and groundwork pollution to help developers and authorities minimize the effects of contaminants on groundwater and reservoirs.

There are many ways skillful environmental surveys can help in finding monitor wells and discover and analyze groundwork pollution. It can be used to map and position monitor wells, which are sampled routinely to observe groundwater quality and levels, and to examine the presence of hazardous contaminants at remediation and reclamation sites. Monitoring wells data is gathered and delivered to federal or state agencies to be compiled and studied to ensure regulatory compliance.

Monitoring wells can be drilled into aquifers on the subsurface to find and track the contaminants. However, placement must be accurate for them to be effective, and this is accomplished by placing the wells on a horizontal and vertical datum. From there, environmental surveyors map the system with help from an environmental engineer. Monitoring wells are essential to determine the quality of water and its flow characteristics (i.e. direction), and sources of contaminants. Groundwater flow is measured by determining water level measurements.

An environment survey for monitoring wells and groundwater pollution must be conducted in accordance to the requirements local environmental protection laws and regulations. It can be conducted to develop a general overview of certain environmental risks a proposed or existing real estate development can have on groundwater, reservoirs, and waterways, too. Environmental screening and surveying may reveal information to confirm a property’s risk, too, such as susceptibility to ground gas, vulnerability of the property’s water resource to being contaminated, and proximity to licensed waste disposal areas.

Make sure that the environmental survey is conducted only by a licensed, well-equipped, reputable, and established land surveying service provider in your city or state. That way, you can be sure that they know the local laws and regulations for conducting the survey to monitor wells and groundwater pollution.
