Harvest Scientific Services

Environmental Monitoring

 

Harvest Scientific Services has the expertise to plan and execute a range of environmental monitoring functions which are applicable across a large range of industries. This often entails routine dust and water monitoring as required by the licence conditions issued by the NSW Environmental Protection and Regulation Group for a range of activities. These activities may for example include quarry and composting operations in Sydney region.  Parameters such as the ash content, combustible matter, total insoluble matter and total suspended particulates in airborne dust and the pH, total suspended solids and conductivity of water are monitored as required.

As part of the service, Harvest Scientific Services provides interpretative commentary with respect to operational compliance of the activity being monitored.

In addition, the Firm conducts a number of soil validation and contamination assessments at the request of clients. Broadly speaking ,  soils are assessed for their metal, organochlorine and organophosphate contents as well as their pH, salinity, cation content and phosphate retention index.

For those aspects that require specialised monitoring such as noise and air quality, the Firm, through its extensive network of kindred associations,  has the capability to employ a range of specialist consultants who provide these services.
