Expert Environmental Consulting Services
At Atlas Environmental Consulting, LLC in Commerce, Georgia, we offer an extensive range of professional services. You can trust us to do everything from soil evaluations to all the necessary reporting. Our services include:
Pre-Development Lot Review (Level II Soil Study)
This preliminary site inspection and feasibility study is designed to identify general soil patterns on large acreage tracts for initial land development objectives.
High-Intensity Soil Study (Level III Soil Study)
Our high-intensity soil study aims to identify, delineate, and interpret the suitability of the soil series found on a site for an on-site wastewater management system.
This study and stamped report are required in most Georgia Counties before issuing building and septic permits.
Special Soil Investigation (Level IV Soil Study)
A Special Soil Investigation expands an existing Level III Soil Survey in detail. This study may be required by the County Board of Health to adequately address site suitability or system design for alternative on-site wastewater management systems.
Septic System Layout and Site Plans
We provide commercial and residential septic system layout and site plan design services for submittal to county health departments for on-site wastewater permitting.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)
Our Phase I ESA process evaluates historical and current land use to identify potential recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in connection with a project site.
This type of assessment and report is required by many commercial lending institutions as part of their standard risk assessment before finalizing business loans.
Stream Classification
We offer field identification of ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial streams using geomorphic, hydrologic, and biological stream features.
Proper stream classification is crucial for project planning to stay in compliance with local, state, and federal environmental management regulations.
Wetland Identification and Delineation
Our wetland identification and delineation services are conducted under the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual.
We provide soil and vegetation mapping, field delineation, wetland boundary survey using sub-meter GPS systems, map preparation, and report submittal to USACE.
Stormwater Infiltration Services
For commercial and residential projects with regulatory requirements for stormwater runoff control, we offer infiltration testing for the design of on-site stormwater control practices.
Field percolation tests or double-ring infiltrometer tests are the most common methods employed to establish a measured infiltration rate.
