Environmental Risk Assessments That Protect Your Business
When you operate a fueling site, industrial facility, or municipal yard, environmental risks are always present — from soil contamination and groundwater leaks to stormwater runoff and regulatory exposure. Ignoring these issues can lead to fines, cleanup costs, or permanent site damage.
At Geo Petroleum, we specialize in Environmental Risk Assessments (ERA) that identify potential hazards, evaluate environmental impact, and implement solutions before they escalate.
Whether you’re opening a new site, expanding operations, or maintaining an existing facility, we provide detailed assessments that keep your business safe, compliant, and proactive.
Still wondering what is an environmental risk assessment? It’s the process of identifying and managing environmental threats before they harm your operations, employees, or community — and that’s exactly what Geo Petroleum does best.
Site Assessment Phases
GEO’s environmental site assessments (ESAs) range from preliminary site evaluation to full-scale environmental studies and remedial corrective action — helping clients make sound business and financial decisions associated with contaminated properties.
Environmental Phase I ESA
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment focuses on identifying existing or potential concerns on a property that may indicate an environmental risk. The assessment identifies these concerns through review of regulatory agency information, aerial photographs, historical documents, interviews with previous property owners, and a physical inspection of the property.
Environmental Phase II ESA
While a Phase I ESA is a preliminary investigation, a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment may be required if information collected during a Phase I ESA indicates the possible presence of contamination. A Phase II ESA typically involves the drilling of exploratory soil borings to obtain soil and/or groundwater samples, which are analyzed at an accredited laboratory.
Risk-Based Assessment, Corrective Action & Site Closure
The Petroleum Storage Tank (PST) division of the TCEQ manages Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank (LPST) sites through a risk-based corrective action program. This process analyzes soil, groundwater, and air samples to evaluate at-risk receptors such as drinking water wells or surface water. Sites undergo monitoring and corrective action until all regulatory limits are met.
A preliminary investigation that determines environmental risks based on historical and current property usage.
Involves laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater samples to confirm or rule out contamination.
Conducted when contamination is confirmed, ensuring full compliance with TCEQ requirements for case closure.
