Hart & Hickman, PC

H&H is working with a developer to safely revitalize land historically used as a municipal landfill in the 1950s and 1960s. As part of the future building’s deep foundation system, piles were recently driven through over 20 feet of debris consisting of plastic, wood, paper, glass, and metal. In addition to the unique geotechnical challenges, proper management of soil, groundwater, and landfill gas will be critical to the safe redevelopment of this property under the North Carolina Brownfields Program. #EnvironmentalAssessment #VaporIntrusion #Brownfields

With the close of the public comment period on October 15, 2024, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has established eight interim maximum allowable concentrations (IMACs) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under 15A NCAC 02L .0202. The new IMACs can be found on DEQ’s website: https://lnkd.in/ex3R-SUf

Congratulations to Ann Marie Lindley, GIT on her promotion to Assistant Project Geologist! Ann Marie’s enthusiasm for her work makes every project fun, whether that’s in the field or in the office. We appreciate all of her hard work. Congratulations Ann Marie!

Groundwater assessment strategies shouldn't be deterred by vegetation challenges! Although a tough spot for a 300 ft Type III bedrock monitoring well, Hart & Hickman and Geologic Exploration made it work. Cased deep into bedrock, the well targets water-producing fractures below 275 ft to delineate the downgradient extent of a PFAS plume in Piedmont geology. #EnvironmentalAssessment #PFAS

H&H is excited to welcome Michael Cassidy to our Charlotte team! Michael graduated from the University of Missouri in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Geology and previously completed an internship with the US Army Corps of Engineers Hydrogeology Division. Welcome to H&H, Michael! 

Hart & Hickman is grateful to our employees, neighbors, and community for their generous donations! We are proud to support the ongoing relief efforts for those impacted by Hurricane Helene. #HHCares

H&H is thrilled to announce the addition of Brendan O'Brien to our Raleigh team! Brendan graduated from Juniata College with a Bachelor of Science in Geology in 2022, and he has prior experience working for an environmental consulting firm in Pennsylvania. Welcome to H&H, Brendan!

Hart & Hickman recently had the privilege of partnering with UNCC’s GEO Club to demonstrate groundwater sampling techniques and discuss the many rewarding opportunities in the field of environmental consulting. The students were incredibly engaging and asked insightful questions, making the experience both rewarding and energizing. Connecting with students is a fantastic way to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world, offering valuable insights on career paths beyond graduation. We are thrilled about the future and look forward to more collaborations with UNCC’s Department of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences. A big shoutout to our UNCC alumni, John Lopez, PG, RSM and Madeline Sesma, for spearheading this effort, and a special thanks to Eastern Solutions, LLC for generously providing the sampling equipment. We couldn’t have done it without you! #EnvironmentalConsulting #GroundwaterSampling #UNCC #EnvironmentalCareers #HartAndHickman #FutureLeaders
