The latest edition of this popular ASTM collection features over 180 ASTM guides, practices, and test methods for geophysics and environmental site characterization, drawn from the work of ASTM committees:

• D18 on Soil and Rock
• D19 on Water
• D34 on Waste Management
• E47 on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate
• E50 on Environmental Assessment, Risk Management, and Corrective Action.

These standards are vital for site characterization plans used to satisfy state, local, and federal regulators during investigations of hazardous waste sites and evaluations of contaminant migration in the environment . In addition, they provide valuable guidance for use with CERCLA, RCRA, and petroleum release site investigations and to develop accelerated and expedited site characterization procedures.

This is a key resource for environmental professionals, including planning and biological engineers, health and safety specialists, consultants, contractors, and laboratory personnel, as well as government agencies, such as the EPA and Department of Health and Human Services.
