Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Connecticut. Mr. Jackson has assessed many properties for potential pollutants with a Phase I investigation. He has conducted Phase I assessments on agricultural, industrial and commercial properties across the state in conformance to current Connecticut environmental regulation.

Automobile Repair Facility, Northwestern Connecticut. A family-owned automotive repair shop bought a property in Winsted, Conn., not realizing that it would be responsible for the a comprehensive site investigation under Connecticut’s Property Transfer Act.  The family considered a quote from a larger environmental firm that said it could investigate the property for a lump-sum cost that ran into the tens of thousands of dollars, a prohibitive burden for the small business.  Jackson Environmental is working with the family to provide environmental investigation services that meet the standard of care required with respect to the Property Transfer Act but was still within the businesses’ financial means. Mr. Jackson is the Licensed Environmental Professional (LEP) of record for the site and the environmental assessment is presently ongoing.

Former Orchard, Berlin, Connecticut. As part of his environmental work, Mr. Jackson has worked on Connecticut’s agricultural land — from tobacco fields to cow farms. One such location was a former fruit orchard in Berlin, Conn.
Like many other pieces of farmland in Connecticut, the 60-acre parcel was likely sprayed with pesticides like lead and arsenic during the ‘30s and ‘40s and DDT during the ‘50s and 60s.
To assess the impacts to soil from years of pesticide application, Mr. Jackson prepared and implemented a soil sampling and analysis plan involving shallow soil samples collected via hand auger and laboratory analyses for the historical pesticides of concern.

Industrial Park, Berlin, Connecticut. A property owner who rents his industrial property to various small businesses asked Jackson Environmental to investigate his property. A machine shop once operated on the site and the owner was concerned about soil and groundwater contamination.
Mr. Jackson reviewed existing environmental site assessment reports, installed monitoring wells, and conducted a groundwater monitoring program designed to assess historical impacts to the subsurface. When he found metals, solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons in the groundwater, Mr. Jackson prepared a remedial action plan to clean the areas where levels of contamination in the soil and groundwater exceeded Connecticut’s remediation standards.

Industrial Mill, Bristol, Connecticut. Mr. Jackson monitored the removal and management of a 10,000-gallon underground storage tank that held fuel oil. Mr. Jackson collected and managed soil samples from the tank’s excavation in conformance with Connecticut’s storage tank regulations.

Metal Finishing Facility, Central Connecticut. Mr. Jackson performed a Phase II/Phase III Environmental Site Assessment and prepared a remedial action plan, mapping the cleanup strategy of the soil contaminated with metals, solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons. Mr. Jackson managed and inspected remediation efforts, and then he collected soil samples for analysis to ensure that the areas of concern were remediated in compliance with Connecticut’s soil standards.

Water Quality Monitoring Evaluations. Mr. Jackson prepares stormwater monitoring plans and regularly samples stormwater at various maintenance and repair facilities in accordance with Connecticut Department of Transportation’s task-based environmental compliance services.
