When petroleum impacts are discovered, understanding the extent of contamination below the surface is critical.

Recently, HydroGeo Environmental completed a Category 2 petroleum release investigation involving subsurface soil characterization, groundwater sampling, receptor evaluation, and remediation oversight following the discovery of a leaking underground storage tank (UST).

Our team conducted:
✔️ Soil and groundwater sampling
✔️ Laboratory analytical review
✔️ Receptor and groundwater risk evaluation
✔️ Tank removal oversight
✔️ Impacted soil excavation support
✔️ Regulatory reporting and DEQ coordination

The investigation identified petroleum-impacted soils associated with a historic underground storage tank release. Groundwater sampling from the onsite supply well showed no detectable petroleum impacts at the time of testing.

Projects like this highlight the importance of early environmental assessment, proper remediation planning, and ongoing monitoring to help protect groundwater resources and surrounding properties.

Groundwater supply development in fractured bedrock settings requires more than simply drilling a well — it requires a detailed understanding of site hydrogeology, structural controls, and subsurface fracture connectivity.

Recently, HydroGeo Environmental completed a groundwater availability assessment at a residential property where previous drilling efforts resulted in inadequate yields.

Our investigation integrated:

• Fracture trace analysis
• Electrical resistivity (ER) imaging
• Hydrogeologic interpretation
• Geophysical targeting for future well placement

In fractured crystalline bedrock environments, groundwater occurrence is highly dependent on secondary porosity associated with interconnected fracture networks. Variability in fracture density, weathering, and structural orientation can significantly influence well performance, making geophysical interpretation a valuable component of groundwater exploration.

Using multi-electrode ER imaging, our team evaluated subsurface resistivity variations across several targeted survey lines to identify fracture-like anomalies potentially associated with groundwater-bearing zones. The findings were then used to support recommended drilling target locations and future groundwater development planning.

At HydroGeo Environmental, we combine hydrogeologic interpretation, geophysics, and field experience to support defensible groundwater investigations and informed drilling decisions in complex bedrock environments.

Finding reliable groundwater starts with understanding what lies beneath the surface.

In a recent groundwater investigation, our team used fracture trace analysis and electrical resistivity imaging to identify potential water-bearing zones within fractured bedrock terrain common throughout Virginia’s Piedmont region.

Key findings from the study included:

✔️ Evaluation of complex bedrock and subsurface conditions
✔️ Identification of potential fracture-related groundwater targets
✔️ Use of LiDAR, geologic mapping, and resistivity imaging to support smarter well placement
✔️ Recommendations to improve the likelihood of developing a reliable residential water supply
✔️ Real-time geologic support during drilling to help guide well development decisions

In fractured rock environments, successful groundwater development depends on more than drilling deeper — it depends on understanding the geology beneath the surface.

At HydroGeo Environmental, we use geologic expertise and advanced geophysical technology to help guide smarter groundwater and land development decisions throughout Virginia.

A hidden heating oil leak doesn’t just impact the ground beneath it — it can become a long-term environmental and property risk if left unaddressed.

Recently, our team completed a Category 2 environmental site characterization involving an out-of-service underground heating oil tank. Through excavation, soil sampling, groundwater testing, and remediation efforts, we identified and removed impacted soil while helping assess potential risks to nearby groundwater and surrounding receptors.

Key project components included:

▪ Underground storage tank removal
▪ Petroleum-impacted soil excavation
▪ Groundwater supply well sampling
▪ Site characterization and risk assessment
▪ Site restoration and backfilling

One of the biggest challenges with underground releases is that the full extent of impacts often cannot be seen from the surface. Proper investigation and remediation are critical for protecting groundwater resources, reducing environmental liability, and supporting informed property decisions.

At HydroGeo Environmental, we help identify hidden environmental risks before they become expensive surprises.
