Environmental Sampling

Maryland Environmental Service samplers travel the State collecting water samples for more than 150 water and wastewater facilities.

We perform groundwater monitoring at wastewater, sludge disposal sites, and hazardous material containment sites. We sample more than 1,000 monitoring wells per year, and when needed, can provide specialty monitoring and sampling. Sampling is done according to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, the Safe Water Drinking Act, Sludge Monitoring, and other regulatory monitoring requirements. We develop and conduct all sampling and sampling plans necessary for permit compliance. MES team members are certified to perform spring index period sampling per the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Biological Stream Survey (MBSS) protocols. Once samples are collected, we offer cost-effective lab analysis, data management, and reporting.

We provide:

  • MDE septic system sampling
  • Soil sampling at spray irrigation facilities
  • Absorption trenching system observation
  • Piezometer measurements
  • Stormwater monitoring
