| Environmental Site Assessments  Asset offers phased environmental assessments conducted by professional staff. We have conducted literally thousands of environmental investigations on parcels ranging from vacant land to industrial facilities located in superfund study areas. Storm Water Studies, Plans, and Control Systems  Surface water regulations affecting the oil and gas and construction industries require that plans be developed and implemented prior to surface disturbing activities. Asset provides a turnkey approach to the requirements, designing plans specific to the construction site, installing the systems per the plan, monitoring the effectiveness of the design, and making changes where appropriate. Asset's personnel have provided these services on hundreds of projects in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plans (SPCC) The oil and gas industry is required to prepare and implement SPCC plans to address the potential for spills of oil into "waters of the state". The SPCC plans must be prepared and modified as field conditions dictate. In addition periodic inspections of the equipment must be completed. Asset's services include: preparation of the SPCC Plan, oversight of construction of the secondary containment systems, periodic inspections, and modifications to the SPCC Plan as new equipment is added. Asset's personnel have prepared SPCC Plans for facilities located in Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona. Release Investigation, Monitoring and Cleanup  Our staff has extensive experience conducting investigations of soil and groundwater affected by petroleum hydrocarbons and chemicals, preparing remedial action alternatives, designing and constructing remedial systems, operating and maintaining those systems, and preparing site closure documentation for various state and federal agencies. Asset has successfully completed projects and obtained regulatory closure on sites in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Pre-disturbance Analyses and Reclamation  A key factor in the success of restoration is the acquisition of information on the pre-existing biota. Asset gathers the necessary information related to soil conditions, plant and vegetation communities, and critical concerns for the re-establishment of native species. Once acquired the information is used to prepare a remedial action plan for each affected site which is then implemented. This provides the best chance for success of the restoration effort. Asset's personnel have successfully restored access roads, drilling locations, and surface mines in New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Oklahoma and achieved bond release as a result of our efforts. Wildlife Surveys Our key wildlife services include: conducting general presence/absence and use surveys, conducting wildlife clearance surveys for threatened and endangered species, assessing wildlife utilization of reclaimed lands, monitoring wildlife response to oil and gas disturbances, and making wildlife-specific reclamation recommendations. Wildlife monitoring and surveys are conducted pursuant to recognized, species-specific, standard survey protocols accepted by agency personnel. Asset's personnel have performed surveys for Mountain Plover, Pygmy Rabbit, raptors, Burrowing Owl, and Sage Grouse in Wyoming, California, and Oregon. | |
