Water Resources

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
BSK supports clients in managing and protecting water resources by providing high-quality analytical services that help them comply with state and federal regulations governing groundwater, surface water, and coastal environments. Whether sampling from monitoring wells on contaminated sites and landfills to river systems, lakes, or ocean environments, BSK delivers reliable results for long-term water quality management.

BSK’s laboratories conduct routine and specialized analyses for groundwater protection, cleanup and remediation. We provide the necessary data that allows our consultative clients to make the most informed decisions in recommending remediation and treatment activities to their clients.

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and Clean Water Act (CWA)
The foundation of BSK’s analytical operations is our long history and experience in testing drinking water and wastewater in compliance with federal and state regulations.

BSK serves well over 100 water districts, community service associations, water authorities and private water supply companies in the management of their water resources for local communities. Our laboratory information management system allows for easy upload to regulatory databases to meet our clients’ reporting requirements.

BSK supports water resources and utility infrastructure projects with environmental, geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and special inspection services tailored to the technical, regulatory, and operational demands of the water sector. Our teams partner with public agencies, water districts, and design professionals to provide dependable technical support from early planning and permitting through construction and commissioning.

We serve a wide range of water, wastewater, recycled water, stormwater, and drainage projects, including treatment facilities, pipelines, pump stations, reservoirs, and storage infrastructure. BSK understands the constructibility challenges and operational constraints associated with water facilities—many of which must remain active during construction—and we deliver practical, field-proven solutions that support long-term system performance and public health protection.

Our environmental professionals assist with water resource planning, regulatory compliance, and permitting, while our geotechnical engineers provide subsurface investigations and design support for critical facilities. During construction, BSK’s certified laboratories and experienced field staff deliver quality assurance through materials testing and special inspection services that support safe, durable infrastructure.
