Michigan is taking another significant step toward addressing legacy contamination and restoring some of the state’s most important waterways. Through the Reclaim the Rivers program, announced by the state on October 6th, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are committing $89 million in state settlement funds to river cleanup, habitat restoration, and expanded public access. The initiative will focus substantial resources on the Detroit River and Kalamazoo River watershed while also supporting strategic restoration projects throughout Michigan.

Diverse Range of Analytical Soil Testing Using Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM)

Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) is an increasingly accepted approach for characterizing soil contamination and reducing the uncertainty commonly associated with traditional discrete sampling methods. By collecting and combining multiple increments from a defined area, ISM is designed to provide a more representative estimate of mean contaminant concentrations within a designated decision unit.

Understanding Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) for Soil Contaminant Evaluation

Understanding Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) for Soil Contaminant Evaluation

Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) is increasingly used across the environmental industry to evaluate soil contaminants. Unlike traditional discrete sampling, ISM collects numerous soil increments that are combined, processed, and subsampled to produce more representative measurements of contaminant concentrations within a defined area.
