WMATA Environmental Water Sampling

Arc Environmental is under contract to complete environmental sample collection and analysis for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Sampling is completed on an as-needed basis at various MetroBus and MetroRail facilities located within the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area (MD, VA, and DC). Site work consists of compliance inspections and sample collection and analysis of stormwater and wastewater and associated reporting based on jurisdictional National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Sampling is completed using grab methods and automated composite samplers where appropriate.

Groundwater samples are also obtained from monitoring wells located at several WMATA facilities within Washington, DC. Groundwater samples are collected for remedial and/or compliance monitoring purposes for petroleum compounds. We also provides various other sample collection and analyses on an as-needed basis due to employee complaints, accidental chemical releases to the environment and waste management and disposal profiling requirements.

Arc Environmental also provides construction phase services to vendors under contract with WMATA. Our firm has provided asbestos abatement monitoring including containment inspections, daily air sampling, PCM analysis, and clearance inspections for renovation projects which impact asbestos-containing materials.
