What Your Site is Actually Carrying
Most remediation programs measure contamination drawdown and call the work done. Leaving dead ground that meets thresholds but holds no function, and a liability that lingers under any future land use. Edapho measures contamination AND soil function in the same diagnostic stack, so closure documents real recovery, redevelopment value is restored, and the data underneath your filings holds up at every regulatory checkpoint.
Five steps. Defensible closure.
Every project starts with a clear scoping conversation: site history, contamination profile, regulatory program, target end-use, and where the project sits in your capital plan. We listen first, then scope, because the questions we ask drive the data we collect and the closure pathway we design toward.
Contamination panels (hydrocarbons, heavy metals, PFAS, residuals) measured against regulatory thresholds. Soil function panels (chemistry across four extractions, metagenomic biology, water) measured against restoration baselines. Same site, same sampling event, complete picture for closure and redevelopment.
Design tells you what to remediate, how to restore, what to contain, and how to document; built around the regulatory program you're closing under. EPA, state voluntary cleanup, NRD settlement, brownfield redevelopment met with methodology, sampling cadence, and reporting templates aligned to the closure pathway from day one.
Edapho can deploy across your site with our crew, products, and remediation infrastructure, or hand you contractor-ready specs so your existing remediation contractor and environmental consultant execute. Either way, the data trail is maintained, the regulatory cadence is honored, and the closure package is built as the project runs.
Re-test confirms the change against regulatory thresholds. Monitoring keeps you in real-time data through closure verification. Certify documents what qualifies for regulatory sign-off. Credit converts what your project is doing (sequestering carbon, restoring habitat, generating brownfield redevelopment value) into actual asset recovery beyond the closure itself.
✽ What We Cover
Discover our main three service areas
Oilfield & Pipeline
Drilling pad remediation, produced water impact, pipeline corridor restoration, spill response, frac flowback impact. Hydrocarbon and salt drawdown alongside soil function restoration; critical for sites returning to grazing, agriculture, or habitat.
Brownfield & Industrial Sites
Historic manufacturing contamination, industrial legacy sites, chemical handling facilities, fueling stations, waste impoundments. Multi-contaminant profiling (metals, hydrocarbons, PFAS, residuals) integrated with redevelopment-ready soil restoration.
Mining & Tailings
Active mine reclamation, legacy tailings ponds, acid mine drainage, overburden management, post-closure monitoring. Heavy metal stabilization, biological restoration of disturbed substrate, and long-term function recovery on the toughest substrates we work with.
Why It Works
Built for what regulators and lenders need.
Contamination AND function
Standard remediation programs measure contaminant concentration against regulatory thresholds. Closure passes, but the soil is dead. Edapho measures both: contamination drawdown for the regulator, soil function recovery for the redeveloper, the insurer, and the long-tail liability profile.
Regulatory-program-ready
Built to align with EPA programs (CERCLA, RCRA, brownfield), state voluntary cleanup programs, NRD settlements, and industry-specific frameworks. Methodology decisions are made at scoping, not retrofit at closure submission.
Closure with redevelopment value
A site that closes with restored soil function is worth more for agricultural lease, habitat credit programs, brownfield redevelopment incentives, and carbon co-benefit registration. Closure is the floor, not the ceiling. We document both so the asset value is captured.
