Soil & Solid Waste Analysis
Testing for Decisions
Soil and solid waste testing informs some of the most consequential decisions in environmental work. Whether you're characterizing a waste stream for disposal, assessing a contaminated site, or qualifying biosolids for land application, the data needs to be right.
Eastex provides soil and waste analysis for engineering firms, wastewater treatment operations, and environmental consultants across Texas. Our results are defensible, our turnaround is predictable, and our staff understands the regulatory context behind the numbers.
Testing Capabilities
Analysis for waste characterization, disposal compliance, and site assessment.
Waste Characterization
- TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)
- SPLP (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure)
- Paint Filter Test
- Ignitability / Corrosivity / Reactivity
- Percent Solids / Percent Moisture
Sludge & Biosolids
- Land Application (metals suite)
- Fecal Coliform (biosolids)
- Percent Solids
- Nutrients (N, P, K)
- PCBs
Complete testing for 40 CFR Part 503 compliance and TCEQ land application requirements.
Site Assessment
- Metals (ICP-OES, ICP-MS)
- VOCs / SVOCs
- TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons)
- Pesticides / Herbicides
- PCBs
Common Applications
- Sludge disposal — TCLP, metals, and biosolids testing to determine whether sludge qualifies for land application, landfill disposal, or requires hazardous waste handling.
- Phase II ESA support — Soil and groundwater analysis for environmental site assessments. Defensible data for engineering firms and environmental consultants.
- Remediation monitoring — Ongoing analytical support for contaminated site cleanup. Tracking progress against cleanup standards.
- Waste stream characterization — Determining whether a waste is hazardous or non-hazardous under RCRA criteria.
- Construction soil testing — Environmental screening of soil from excavation or construction sites before disposal or reuse.
Who We Serve
Soil and solid waste testing typically involves engineering firms and environmental consultants managing site work, as well as wastewater treatment operations handling sludge disposal. We provide the analytical support and understand the regulatory framework around the results.
