List of services

Whether you're an individual looking to buy a home, a landowner with land management needs, a business planning to expand, or a municipality or county working to preserve and protect your natural resources, Crisp Geology LLC can help with your land, soil, and water-related needs.

Soil Mapping ("Perc testing")

A Level 3 soil map, previously called a "perc test," is a detailed evaluation of a property’s soil that is required to permit a new septic system. It includes hand augered borings to examine soil layers, evaluate drainage, and check for factors like slope, water table depth, and nearby water sources. This comprehensive mapping ensures the soil can support proper septic system function and meet health and environmental standards. 

Dam Assessment and Management 

Our dam service can assist landowners with small-scale dam assessment and management by evaluating the dam's site, structure, and overall safety. This service includes identifying potential issues, recommending repairs, and providing ongoing maintenance plans to ensure the dam remains functional and secure, helping to protect property and water resources. 

Core Logging

Core logging involves the detailed examination and description of rock cores and/or soil samples extracted from the subsurface during drilling operations. The process includes core recovery, handling and transport, and description.

Environmental Assessment

Environmental assessment ("Phase I" assessment) is a systematic process used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or policies. It can be a critical tool for both industries and municipalities to ensure that development and decision-making are environmentally sound and sustainable and for due diligence in real estate transactions. 

Groundwater Monitoring

Groundwater monitoring can involve potentiometric surface monitoring and/or delineation and also sampling for various parameters and contaminants in the case of potentially contaminated groundwater. 

Groundwater Remediation

Groundwater remediation design is a critical step in cleaning up contaminated groundwater. It involves a thorough understanding of the site's hydrogeology, the nature and extent of contamination, and the available remediation technologies. 

Stormwater Monitoring

Stormwater monitoring is a crucial practice for both industries and municipalities to assess and manage the quality of stormwater runoff. This runoff, generated from rain and snowmelt, can carry pollutants that degrade water quality in rivers, lakes, and oceans. 

Geological Risk Assessment

Groundwater monitoring can involve potentiometric surface monitoring and/or delineation and also sampling for various parameters and contaminants in the case of potentially contaminated groundwater. Groundwater remediation design is a critical step in cleaning up contaminated groundwater.
