Mine Closure and Liabilitygroundwater quality monitoring
Groundwater samples are carried out by trained technical personnel in accordance with SANS standards. Environmental Assurance is well equipped to perform groundwater sampling. SANAS-accredited laboratories are used to analyse samples. Monitoring data is interpreted with respect to EMPs, water use licenses and other compliance objectives. The results of water quality monitoring are illustrated using graphs and site maps to ensure that our clients are fully aware of all water quality issues. The results, interpretation and recommendations are presented in monthly, quarterly or annual reports, trends and outlying results are used in these reports to determine pollution sources.
