South Bay Environmental

What South Bay Environmental does

South Bay Environmental is a privately held, founder-operated environmental consulting firm headquartered in the Long Island, New York area, founded in 2007 and led by President Scott Stehlik, who holds an MS in Hydrogeology and over 20 years of industry experience. The firm delivers a full three-phase service line — Phase I Environmental Site Assessments under ASTM E1527-05, Phase II subsurface investigations (sampling, geophysical surveys, monitoring well installation, storage tank closure), and Phase III remediation (soil excavation, soil vapor extraction, air sparging, pump-and-treat, asbestos/lead/radon abatement, phytoremediation) — plus specialized surveys for asbestos, lead, radon, mold, and underground storage tank work.

The firm serves three primary customer segments: commercial/industrial property owners, managers, and developers needing pre-acquisition or pre-refinancing due diligence; mortgage lenders requiring environmental clearance for lending decisions; and federal, state, and local government agencies (including the FAA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Nassau County) contracting for Superfund site work, HTRW investigations, and CERCLA liability audits. Service delivery is direct B2B engagement with on-site field work across the continental United States and Puerto Rico.

South Bay bills on a quote-based, per-project professional services model with pricing varying by scope. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, and operates as a 1-10 employee practice. Marketing relies on professional association memberships (AIPG, CIBS, Environmental Assessment Association, Long Island Geologists, The Retail Network, Babylon Village Chamber of Commerce), direct referral, and a basic website. Notable past performance includes remediation of approximately 5,000 tons of PCB/metal/petroleum-contaminated soil, transport and disposal of 30,000 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil, and delisting of a circuit board manufacturer facility from the NYSDEC Inactive Hazardous Waste Site list.

Products and services

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) Critical environmental due diligence screening tool performed prior to property acquisition or refinancing to protect lenders, purchasers, and property owners from environmental liability. Each ESA consists of five components: site history review, public records review, site inspection, owner/occupant interview, and report preparation. Phase I ESAs are prepared in accordance with ASTM E1527-05 standards and are typically completed within two weeks of authorization to proceed.
• Phase II Environmental Site Assessments / Investigations Sampling and analysis investigations performed to address environmental concerns discovered as a result of a Phase I ESA. Concerns include prior land use, buried materials, chemical storage/disposal, hazardous waste management, soil/groundwater/surface water contamination, and the presence of asbestos, lead, radon, or mold. Phase II tasks include subsurface investigations using geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar, magnetics, electromagnetics/resistivity, seismics), soil and groundwater sampling and analysis, soil vapor surveys, monitoring well installation, storage tank closure/abandonment, air and surface water sampling and analysis, and asbestos, lead, radon, and mold surveys.
• Phase III Remediation and Abatement Remediation and abatement services executed following Phase II confirmation of environmental impact. Methods include soil excavation, soil vapor extraction, air sparging, pump and treat, asbestos and lead removal or containment, radon abatement, phytoremediation, and vitrification. The service addresses soil, groundwater, and indoor air contamination concerns identified through prior site assessment stages.
• Hazardous Material Surveys (Asbestos, Lead, Radon, Mold) Standalone surveys for asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, and mold conducted as part of environmental site assessments or as independent investigations. Asbestos inspections are performed under NYS Department of Health certification and lead inspections under EPA-Sponsored Lead Training Center accreditation. These surveys are used by property owners, lenders, and government agencies to assess indoor air quality and occupational health risks.
• Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Services Investigation, removal supervision, monitoring well installation, and closure/abandonment services for underground storage tanks (USTs) and aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). The service is tied to hydrogeologic investigations at impacted sites in New York and New Jersey and supports regulatory compliance for petroleum and chemical storage facilities.
• State and Federal Superfund Site Remedial Investigations Remedial investigations and feasibility studies for state and federal Superfund sites, including hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) investigations, EPA Hazard Ranking System scoring, regulatory compliance and environmental status reporting, and remediation oversight. The firm successfully delisted a circuit board manufacturer facility from the NYSDEC Inactive Hazardous Waste Site list and has remediated approximately 5,000 tons of PCB, metal, and petroleum-contaminated soil.
