Environmental contamination can create risks to people, property, redevelopment plans, and ongoing operations. Leaaf Environmental develops and implements practical remediation strategies that address contaminated soil and groundwater while helping clients control costs, minimize disruption, and move toward regulatory closure.
Our engineers, geologists, and environmental scientists manage remediation projects from initial evaluation and corrective action planning through implementation, monitoring, reporting, and final closure. We work with property owners, developers, industrial facilities, municipalities, contractors, and regulatory agencies throughout Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
Practical Solutions for Complex Environmental Conditions
Every contaminated site presents different technical, regulatory, and financial challenges. Leaaf evaluates site conditions, project objectives, potential exposure pathways, regulatory requirements, and available treatment technologies before recommending a remedial approach.
Our goal is to develop a solution that protects human health and the environment without adding unnecessary cost or complexity. Depending on the site, remediation may involve excavation, treatment, containment, engineering controls, risk-based corrective action, groundwater recovery, vapor mitigation, or a combination of methods.

From Investigation Through Closure
Leaaf provides continuity throughout the entire remediation process. Our team can evaluate existing environmental data, identify remaining data gaps, develop the appropriate work plan, manage contractors and field activities, evaluate results, and prepare the documentation required by regulatory agencies.
When active remediation is required, we help clients compare available technologies based on effectiveness, site conditions, implementation time, long-term obligations, and overall cost. We also monitor system performance and adjust the remedial approach when necessary to keep the project moving toward closure.
Soil and Groundwater Remediation
Contaminated soil and groundwater may require different approaches depending on the type and extent of contamination, property use, geology, groundwater conditions, and potential exposure pathways. Leaaf has experience implementing remediation strategies that include:
- Excavation and off-site disposal
- In-place soil treatment
- Groundwater recovery and treatment
- Dual-phase vacuum extraction
- Source removal
- Engineering controls
- Institutional controls
- Risk-based management
- Long-term groundwater monitoring
- Confirmation sampling
UST-Related Remediation
Petroleum releases from underground storage tanks may require environmental investigation, corrective action, and remediation beyond the tank closure process. Leaaf can evaluate affected soil and groundwater, prepare corrective action documents, implement approved remedial strategies, and coordinate the work with the applicable regulatory agency.
