Site Assessment

Bellflower Unified School District:

SE provides environmental services to the Bellflower Unified School District at various campuses and District facilities, including Bellflower High School, Mayfair High School, Baxter Elementary School, and the District Maintenance and Transportation Yard. SE conducted site assessments to evaluate the potential environmental liabilities posed by proposed future expansions of existing campuses. SE assisted the District in reducing their exposure to environmental-related and public health-related liabilities by assessing the potential remedial measures needed to mitigate risks of the expansions. SE used a phased approach when conducting the Phase I environmental site assessments, tailoring each investigation to fit the characteristics of the site. SE conducted a Preliminary Environmental Assessment at a high school campus, per the requirements of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and received DTSC approval in July 2009.

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital:

SE handled the removal, soil remediation and agency closure of five Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and associated piping associated with emergency back-up generators at the former Saint Francis Medical Center. This project site was located in a residential neighborhood and was a high-profile project due to concerns from nearby residents. SE oversaw the removal of the USTs and performed soil sampling and field monitoring. One of the USTs had leaked and SE oversaw the remediation, prepared a closure report and submitted the closure report to the appropriate oversight agency for final approval.
