Project Conceptual Design 

Vernon Environmental, Inc. (VEI) follows prescribed regulatory guidance regarding the use of a Conceptual Site Model during conceptual design of our client’s projects. We staff qualified scientists and engineers to develop the conceptual design in our efforts to effectively communicate the 40,000-foot level picture of environmental concerns involved in a project.

Prior to developing a Phase II Environmental Site Investigation or Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study, VEI develops a Conceptual Site Model. The Conceptual Site Model is used as a project-planning tool. It presents the conceptual design of the environmental investigation and cleanup strategies.

The conceptual design found in a Conceptual Site Model includes known or suspected sources of the environmental release. It identifies the potential chemicals-of-concern impacting various media (soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, air). It provides potential exposure points and exposure routes to potential human and ecological receptors.
