Abandoned Non Producing Operating Mine Sites

Analytica provided analytical testing support services for a period of 6 1/2 years. Testing support was provided for many different sites over the course of time which primarily consisted of abandoned and non-producing mine sites that needed to be cleaned up as well as operational mine sites that needed to be closely monitored for NPDES requirements. Many of the sites were being cleaned up under USEPA CERCLA Superfund criteria and as such data deliverables included full USEPA CLP data packages. All data produced was generated assuming the data would ultimately end up in a court of law. Therefore much of the data submitted was subjected to data validation utilizing USEPA data quality objectives.

Real Estate Property Transfer

Analytica has provided testing and support services for several years of site investigation and cleanup for the purpose of real estate property transfer. Remote, abandoned sites were tested primarily for volatiles, semi-volatile, metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. Large volumes of samples were shipped simultaneously from multiple sites requiring strict coordination, communication,  capacity management and reporting deadlines.

Multi-State Asbestos Survey for Railroad Company

Analytica Solutions coordinated the asbestos PLM and TEM analyses  on a multi-state railroad project with multi-state field offices.   The two year project involved inbound samples directly to the laboratory from the railroad yards.    Analytica coordinated the reports to include the sampling locations for easy access by the project manager in the home office, and electronically sent results to the individual offices for determination of additional PLM Point Count or floor tile TEM analyses.  Analytica's electronic format assisted the project coordinators in knowing what was completed in each  states and kept the project manager knowledgeable on what had been received for the complete project on a day to day basis.

Lead Survey for Large Housing Authority

Analytica Solutions supplied Lead (pb) analyses for all buildings within the jurisdiction of a large housing authority.  This 3-year project provided the city with information for coordinating cleanup and demolition action on the properties and housing involved.  It also acted as a comparison for a study by the housing authority on the reliability of the XRF analyses versus the approved lead analysis methods on various matrices.  The project also assisted Analytica in putting together an independent study of what brand of wipes produced the most reliable analyses.  The study was then presented to the EPA for their review.  The EPA, HUD #006700, reported final recommendations on the best brands for wipe analyses in the Guideline for Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint in Housing.

Multi-State Asbestos/Lead Survey

Analytica Solutions provided the asbestos and lead analyses for survey work for estimating the value of property prior to the sale of the chain of retail stores.  Coordinated the reporting from all the field offices to the project manager and providing electronic spreadsheets for this project.  Project length was for just over a year.
