The analyticallaboratory in Rothschild tests drinking water, wastewater, groundwater, stormwater, soil, sludge, solids, waste, and other types of contaminants. Every city, town and manufacturing business requires laboratory services in order to prove regulatory compliance to the state for a variety of programs. Without defensible analytical data, they could be subject to fines or expensive clean up costs. The public health and millions of dollars depend on our ability to identify low level contamination in our environment. In operation since 1961 and employing nearly 30 full-time professionals, Enviroscan Services primarily provides services to engineering firms, municipalities, mining operations, landfills, and industries across the state and throughout the country.
Federal programs establish environmental regulations that drive work to the group.
They include the Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Superfund Program, and Clean Air Act, to name a few. State regulations also require detailed monitoring of landfill groundwater and leachates, agricultural runoff and pesticides, and petroleum spills or leaks. There are several reasons for the compliance testing. A major one is locating potential sources of contamination before it gets into our groundwater or lakes and streams. From that report, the WDNR will choose high risk chemicals and compounds present in the scan and require the company or municipality to monitor them on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis, depending on results and risk factors.
