Your Remediation Site Has 47 Wells. Can You Produce 90 Days of Data on Demand?

EPA asked for 90 days of groundwater data. Three remediation firms could not produce it last week. All three were fined. POD replaces paper field logs with a real-time compliance dashboard that never has a gap.

Why Remediation Sites Are Compliance Ticking Bombs

Your site has 47 monitoring wells, 12 extraction wells, and 3 treatment systems generating daily data. Your field team records it on paper forms that sit in a truck cab for a week. Last month, the EPA asked for 90 days of groundwater data. You could not produce it.

01

Chain of custody breaks between field and lab

A field technician collects 14 groundwater samples from monitoring wells at 6 AM. The samples sit in a cooler in the truck until the courier arrives at 2 PM. Eight hours with no documented temperature check, no custody transfer signature, and no recorded handoff time. The lab receives the samples and flags the custody gap. The entire round of sampling is legally indefensible.

02

Waste manifest tracking falls through the cracks

Your site generates 23 waste shipments per week across three waste streams: contaminated soil, treatment sludge, and decontamination water. Each shipment requires a RCRA manifest with correct EPA IDs, waste codes, quantities, and transporter verification. You are tracking manifests in a spreadsheet that someone updates every Friday. The 35-day exception report is already overdue for six manifests.

03

Regulatory reporting lags weeks behind field activity

The state requires monthly progress reports with groundwater elevation data, contaminant concentration trends, extraction system uptime, and treatment system performance. Your field team records this data on paper forms that get typed into a report template three weeks later. By the time the report is submitted, the regulator is reading data that is 45 days old.

04

Community notification requirements get missed

The Record of Decision requires community notification 72 hours before any soil excavation within 500 feet of the residential buffer. Your PM sent the notification for Phase 2A excavation but forgot that Phase 2B, which starts Monday, is within the buffer zone. The community liaison finds out when a resident calls the EPA hotline at 7 AM on Monday morning.

POD Closes Every Gap Before the Regulator Finds It

Digital chain of custody. Automated manifest tracking. Real-time regulatory dashboards. Every data point timestamped, every handoff logged, every report ready.

Digital chain of custody

Every sample gets a digital custody record from the moment it leaves the well. POD timestamps collection, preservation, courier handoff, and lab receipt. Temperature checks are logged with photos. Custody gaps are flagged within minutes, not discovered weeks later by the lab.

Zero custody gaps

Real-time manifest tracking

POD tracks every hazardous waste manifest from generation through disposal facility receipt. The 35-day exception clock starts automatically. You get alerts at 21 days, 28 days, and 33 days. No manifest goes untracked. No exception report is late.

Auto-tracked manifests

Automated regulatory reports

Field data flows directly into regulatory report templates. Groundwater elevations, contaminant concentrations, system uptime, and treatment metrics are populated in real time. Monthly reports are ready the day after the reporting period ends, not three weeks later.

Same-day reports

Community notification log

POD maintains a living notification schedule tied to the site work plan. When an activity is scheduled within a notification buffer zone, POD alerts the PM with the required notification lead time. Every notification is logged with recipient, method, date, and acknowledgment.

Never miss a notice

Watch the Plume Shrink in Real Time

POD maps every extraction well, monitoring well, and treatment system on a live site plan. As remediation progresses, the contamination plume shrinks and monitoring wells flip from red to green. Your entire cleanup story, animated.

Built for Remediation Field Teams

Voice-first field reporting

Field technicians speak their daily observations instead of filling out paper forms. Well readings, system checks, sample IDs, and weather conditions captured in under 5 minutes.

Groundwater dashboard

Real-time monitoring well data with contaminant plume visualization, trend lines for every analyte, and automatic comparison against cleanup standards and action levels.

Waste stream intelligence

Track every waste stream from characterization through final disposition. Volume forecasting, cost trending, and diversion rate tracking across all project waste types.

We run a 14-acre Superfund site with 52 monitoring wells, dual-phase extraction, and an on-site treatment plant. Before POD, our monthly report took 3 weeks to assemble. Now it is ready the next morning. When EPA showed up for a surprise inspection, we pulled 6 months of data on an iPad in under 2 minutes. The inspector said it was the most organized site record she had ever seen.
