PFAS Contamination Services

PFAS contamination has quickly become one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing communities, industries, and government agencies. These persistent manmade chemicals — widely used in industrial processes, firefighting foams, and everyday consumer products — don’t break down naturally in the environment, and even low-level exposure has been linked to potential human health risks. As regulatory standards tighten and scrutiny increases, organizations that act early are better positioned to manage liability, protect public health, and stay ahead of compliance requirements.

Addressing PFAS effectively requires specialized expertise. Their mobility, persistence, and complex behavior in soil and groundwater systems demand a tailored approach — one that integrates thorough site investigation, accurate sampling and modeling, and remediation strategies matched to specific site conditions and exposure pathways. DLZ brings that capability, helping clients move from uncertainty to a clear, defensible path forward.

Featured Capabilities

Environmental PFAS

PFAS Site Investigation & Assessment

Understanding the scope of PFAS contamination is the critical first step. Our teams conduct detailed site investigations to determine the presence, extent, and concentration of PFAS across soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment — identifying potential exposure pathways and receptors while generating the accurate data needed for regulatory compliance and informed decision-making.

Sampling, Testing & Groundwater Modeling

Reliable data is essential to managing PFAS risk. DLZ performs specialized environmental media sampling, apply groundwater modeling to predict contaminant movement and inform long-term management strategies, and produce defensible results that hold up under regulatory and legal scrutiny. All essential to permitting, reporting, and remediation planning with confidence.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation Planning

PFAS risk assessment requires careful attention to who might be affected and how. We identify and evaluate receptors — including public drinking water supplies where immediate response may be needed [19.1]— and develop risk mitigation strategies aligned with evolving regulatory standards and each client’s specific risk tolerance and operational context.

Remediation & Long-Term Management

Remediating PFAS contamination is a long-term commitment that requires both technical rigor and regulatory fluency. We design and implement remediation strategies tailored to site conditions, support clients through plan development and regulatory approval, and provide ongoing monitoring and management to track effectiveness and adapt as standards continue to evolve.

Regulatory Compliance & Program Support

The PFAS regulatory landscape is changing rapidly, and staying ahead of it requires proactive planning. DLZ helps clients navigate federal and state emerging contaminant requirements, meet reporting obligations, and develop compliance strategies that reduce long-term liability — turning a complex and moving target into a manageable, documented program.

PFAS Equipment Management

Many facilities are switching from PFAS fire fighting equipment to environmentally friendly products. This can range from large scale building fire suppression systems to fire extinguishers. DLZ can assist with identification and inventorying of PFAS products, development and management of PFAS removal plans, and ensure proper decontamination and decommissioning of PFAS containing equipment.
