| AEL Experience Florida
Clean-up Programs (Petroleum, Dry Cleaners, Brown-Fields)
Landfill Operations
 |
AEL’s
landfill clients include cities, counties, and private
companies. |
|
In
addition to providing analysis, AEL also has field
technicians with years of experience in landfill
sampling (be it routine groundwater and surface water
monitoring, leachate collection systems, or special
circumstances). |
|
Our
field personnel keep up-to-date on field protocols and
record detailed field logs of all activities.
They can also serve you as a good set of eyes
regarding the site’s condition – quickly notifying
you about change to sites that you may seldom actually
visit. |
|
When
clients provide permits, our project managers are able
to alert clients promptly if any analytical results
surpass regulated limits. |
|
And
AEL can provide the State of Florida Ground Water
Monitoring forms for you project – completely filled
out and ready to be submitted to the regulating
agency.
|
|
In addition to providing analysis, AEL also has
field technicians with years of
experience in landfill sampling. They are
trained in FDEP sampling
protocols and can handle everything from routine
groundwater and surface
water monitoring to leachate collection systems to
specialized clean
sampling techniques (EPA 1669).

Water
Supply / Wastewater Treatment
|
AEL
is one of the State’s leading laboratories in
testing drinking water supply and wastewater treatment
operations – providing services to scores of supply
and treatment plants across the peninsula. |
|
In
addition to cities, counties, and state agencies, our
clients also include private supply and treatment
companies, dozens of industrial clients, and food and
beverage producers. |
|
We
also have a well-documented and simple to follow
program for your DMRQA study reports.
Our analysts use top quality equipment and
techniques, and follow all the appropriate federal and
state guidelines for this critical service. |
|
And
knowing the crucial importance of certain results,
AEL’s policy is for our project managers immediately
call clients when results exceed acceptance criteria.
|
CERCLA
/ RCRA
| AEL
has experience providing the in-depth QA/QC required
under these two national clean-up programs. |
| Working as
a subcontractor to some of the world’s largest
engineering/consulting firms, AEL has provided
analytical services for every step from initial
investigations through operations & maintenance,
with data submitted to the State of Florida DEP, the
US EPA, and the Army Corps. |
| Our
experience includes doing 24-hour turnaround on
multiple parameters for start-up treatment systems,
doing chemical forensics to help determine sources of
contamination, and working with the clients project
team to assist and scheduling and planning of large
scale field efforts.
|
Property
Transfers / Due Diligence
|
People
normally think of these as small, rather routine jobs
– just testing for coliform and a few metals usually
for a home sale.
And AEL does literally hundreds of these every
year for private buyers and sellers, and for
real-estate agencies.
But when large properties or industrial
facilities are involved, things can actually get
pretty interesting! |
|
Strict
confidentiality, careful and complete documentation,
and on-time delivery are critical for what can be huge
business deals. |
|
Because
AEL knows this and performs accordingly, we do a great
deal of testing for some of the largest retail firms
in the world. |
National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPPDES):
|
AEL
performs services for scores of clients under their
NPDES permits and was the lab chosen to work on a
special NPDES study performed for the Federal Aviation
Administration. |
|
We
can supply the sampling services and the
auto-compositors to handle your events on schedule and
help keep your facility in compliance. |
|
We
also work with many private firms that service dozens
of their own clients, and with industrial clients that
prefer to do their own sampling. |
|
Either
way, we can provide pre-labeled bottles to help
eliminate transcription errors and our project
managers can help coordinate all your events be they
daily, semi-annually, or rain dependant. |
Industrial
Waste / Hazardous Waste Characterization:
| For
industrial clients of all sizes and for dozens of
others, AEL performs hazardous waste compliance
testing on a routine basis. |
| In
2003 alone, we performed over 1,000 TCLP and over 500
SPLP extractions to test for volatiles,
semi-volatiles, metals, herbicides, and pesticides. |
