Geology, Water, and Natural Resources

JSA offers comprehensive geological and environmental consulting services, led by a team of licensed Professional Geologists with expertise across the Gulf Coast states. Our geologists provide critical support for environmental investigations, commercial well installations, and aquifer evaluations. JSA’s geologists routinely conduct field surveys to deliver precise lithologic and hydrologic profiles. JSA specializes in subsurface contamination assessment, remediation planning, and regulatory compliance, including the development of groundwater and surface water sampling programs, wastewater treatment, and landfill leachate monitoring.

Our team brings decades of experience in groundwater permitting, aquifer performance testing, water quality evaluation, and strategic field sampling. JSA also offers well construction specifications, test well siting, and full project oversight, ensuring efficient, compliant, and sustainable water resource management. With expertise in geology, water chemistry, and well drilling, we guide clients from initial design through to long-term operation and compliance, helping meet environmental goals with confidence and precision.

Our core services include:

  • Water Resource Development: We assist in the planning, development, and management of water resources, ensuring a sustainable supply for agricultural, industrial, and municipal needs.
  • Well Construction Design Specifications and Bid Support: JSA provides detailed water well construction designs, specifications, and bid support, ensuring that your well installation meets regulatory standards and operational requirements.
  • Drilling and Field Oversight: Our team offers drilling oversight and field supervision services to ensure that groundwater exploration and well construction activities are conducted safely, efficiently, and in compliance with industry standards.
  • Water Use Permitting: We guide clients through the permitting process for water use, helping to secure the necessary approvals for withdrawal, use, and management of groundwater or surface water resources.
  • Groundwater Modeling: JSA utilizes advanced groundwater modeling techniques to simulate flow patterns, predict contamination risks, and optimize water extraction strategies for sustainable resource management.
  • Aquifer Performance Tests: We can design and perform aquifer performance testing to assess the hydraulic properties of groundwater systems and evaluate the capacity of wells for water use planning.
  • Karst Feature Assessments for Land Use Planning: Our team specializes in evaluating karst features (such as sinkholes and springs) to guide land use planning and mitigate risks associated with development in karst regions.
  • Geological Site Investigations: We conduct geological site investigations to assess subsurface conditions, identify geologic hazards, evaluate water supply sources, and support site development, ensuring that the planned land use is compatible with the site conditions.
  • Groundwater Monitoring Plans: JSA develops and implements groundwater monitoring plans to track changes in water quality and levels over time, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and protecting valuable water resources.
  • Soil and Groundwater Sampling Services: Our team provides expert soil and groundwater sampling services to assess contamination, determine pollutant concentrations, and support remediation efforts.
  • Water Quality Monitoring: We offer water quality monitoring services to assess and track parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and pollutants, helping to ensure safe, clean water for human and environmental use.
  • Potable Water Compliance: JSA assists in ensuring compliance with potable water standards, helping municipalities, industries, and private entities meet regulatory requirements for drinking water quality and safety.

At JSA, we are committed to protecting and enhancing our natural resources while supporting the responsible development of water systems. Our expertise in geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences ensures that we provide practical, sustainable, and compliant solutions for every project, whether you are planning a water development initiative, assessing groundwater conditions, or ensuring the quality of your water resources.
