Soil Testing

Federal and state regulatory agencies require minimum clean-up levels before property ownership can be transferred or construction undertaken. These levels can be specific to the intended use, whether commercial or residential, and are intended to reduce the potential for human exposure to soil contaminants, either through direct ingestion, inhalation or absorption through the skin.
