Soil & Rock Sample Testing

Regulatory Environmental Testing – Soil & Rock Samples

We provide regulatory environmental testing for soil and rock samples for Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. Our laboratory analyzes soil and rock samples from a variety of sources such as mining operations, coal refuse facilities, and construction sites.  We offer acid-base accounting services for refuse, cored rocks and overburden, topsoil and alternate topsoil. We can perform Standard Proctor, and conduct moisture content and particle size analysis.  We can also conduct USGS leachate analysis and test for nutrient content, soil pH, lime requirements, and hay land productivity (grass clippings).

Many other tests are available. Please contact us for your specific requirements.
