Ohio’s current underground storage tank standards are found in Chapter 1301:7-9 of the Ohio Administrative Code. For environmental investigations, the most important numerical criteria are the closure action levels in Rule 1301:7-9-12, the risk-based corrective-action levels in Rule 1301:7-9-13, and…
Learn how environmental data dashboards improve monitoring, compliance, and decision-making, and explore the advantages of ESdat dashboard functionality.
Review the latest NJDEP remediation standards, including 2026 PFAS soil, soil-leachate and groundwater levels under N.J.A.C. 7:26D.
The latest amendments affecting the New Jersey Administrative Code Remediation Standards at N.J.A.C. 7:26D were adopted on June 15, 2026.
Compare ESdat, EQuIS, GAEA EDMS, Locus EIM and DataSight for laboratory data, field programs, compliance, reporting and enterprise use.
This evidence-based review compares five commonly considered platforms and explains which is best suited to different environmental programs.
Government environmental programs generate large volumes of laboratory, field, spatial and historical information. The central challenge is not simply collecting it, but maintaining a reliable record that can support decisions, audits and public communication for years or decades.
A single groundwater, contaminated-land or infrastructure program may involve government officers, laboratories, consultants, field contractors, asset managers, GIS specialists and independent auditors. Each participant can produce information in a different format, under different naming conventions and at different intervals.
New functionality transforms raw sensor readings into corrected groundwater elevations within one structured, auditable system
ESdat’s latest video highlights its groundwater logger data functionality—a purpose-built workflow designed to simplify the journey from raw pressure readings to reliable groundwater elevations.
ESdat is pleased to announce the release of its redesigned Field Portal and Field App, bringing a refreshed interface and several long-requested capability upgrades to environmental field data collection.
The update has been designed to make fieldwork simpler, more informative, and easier to navigate—while retaining the familiar concepts and workflows existing ESdat users already know.
Ohio environmental professionals should now use the Voluntary Action Program standards that took effect on 16 February 2025.
The update revised Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3745-300-08 and its chemical-specific tables. It replaced the previous version, which had been effective since 17 October 2019. The standards apply to voluntary investigations and cleanups involving hazardous substances or petroleum releases.
Learn when and why background concentrations are used, how defensible trigger levels are established, and how ESdat will support background-aware exceedance flagging.
ESdat is introducing support for site background concentrations so users can incorporate this context when calculating trigger levels and flagging exceedances.
Manage environmental monitoring data, compare results against regulatory standards, identify exceedances, and produce clear, defensible compliance reports with ESdat.
ESdat brings laboratory results, field observations, logger data, environmental standards, maps, graphs, and reports together in one browser-based system.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has updated several groundwater screening levels used to evaluate the vapor intrusion pathway at contaminated sites. The revised values were released on February 7, 2025 and incorporated into NJDEP’s Vapor Intrusion Screening…
PFAS guidance in Australia has changed again, and environmental professionals need a clear view of what matters most with the PFAS NEMP 3.1 update. Key Takeaways 1. PFAS NEMP 3.1 is an update, not a complete rewrite The PFAS National…
Environmental consultants have a quiet data problem. A single site investigation report may contain borehole logs, groundwater results, soil tables, field notes, laboratory certificates, maps, figures, units, qualifiers, exceedances, and recommendations. Much of that information is trapped inside PDFs. It…
Environmental science has always depended on good fieldwork. But today, good fieldwork is only the beginning. A single environmental project can now produce soil results, groundwater data, field readings, laboratory reports, logger data, GIS layers, photographs, chain-of-custody records, regulatory standards,…
A practical guide for students, graduates, consultants, regulators, and environmental professionals Environmental Data Management Skills. Environmental scientists need more than field skills. They also need to understand how environmental data is planned, collected, checked, stored, interpreted, mapped, compared against standards,…
This video looks at the environmental monitoring workflow. One of the clearest ways to understand environmental monitoring data management is to understand the workflow it supports. Transcript The environmental monitoring workflow. One of the clearest ways to understand environmental monitoring…
