Princeton Geoscience, Inc. is a consulting firm specializing in the cost-effective characterization and remediation of environmentally impaired sites. James Peterson, P.G. founded the company in February 2000, after ten years of consulting, when he saw a need in the marketplace for a firm that can deliver truly appropriate, cost-effective solutions and unparalleled client service.
To achieve those objectives, we apply fresh thinking to each project. Frequently, this results in a new understanding of old and protracted issues and innovative solutions to address them. This approach has worked well for both straightforward and complex projects. And while some projects are best approached with a prescribed, "cookie cutter" approach, the best outcomes occur when client concerns, technical and regulatory factors are thoroughly reviewed every step of the way, from the initial decision level to the project's conclusion.
Our clients are our most valued asset and we are proud of the enduring professional relationships we have established. We attribute this success to the enthusiasm we bring to each project, our responsiveness to client needs and the suitability of the solutions we recommend. Most of our work is performed for private-sector industrial clients, but we also assist smaller commercial enterprises, homeowners and other consultants. In each situation, we strive to exceed expectations with new ideas, creative approaches and aggressive containment of project costs. In the words of several of our clients:
"From the very beginning of Marisol's RCRA Corrective Action project in 2001, Princeton Geoscience has consistently delivered on its initial promise to provide "excellent value...by supporting and aggressively pursuing cost-effective and innovative site characterizations and remediation strategies." Beyond this, Mr. Peterson and his staff are keenly responsive to client demands and adept at employing (and occasionally creating) the latest field and office technologies. I can recommend them without reservation for any project."

General Counsel
Marisol, Incorporated"For the past four years, Princeton Geoscience, Inc. has provided us with outstanding value for one of our Research & Development facilities in New Jersey. They've been proactive in finding the most cost effective means to investigate and remediate the property under the ISRA regulatory framework and have reduced our estimated remedial costs for the site by 50 percent. One example of this was rapid delineation of a chloroform groundwater plume using geoprobe sampling and a mobile analytical lab, identification of the source of chloroform based on a literature review (naturally occurring microbial interaction with roadway deicing salt), proposal of non-structural BMPs, thereby avoiding the need for further source investigation or active remediation. Another example was use of a simple fate and transport model to avoid surface water sampling and ecological risk assessment related to elevated ammonia and nitrate nitrogen in groundwater caused by historic use of an onsite sanitary septic system, and, refurbishing and reuse of the existing septic tank and leachfield to flush potable water through the source area. This simple measure has been successful in reducing concentrations within groundwater quality criteria, potentially avoiding prolonged monitoring and reporting requirements."

ABOUT OUR LOGO:
It's probably no surprise the green and blue colors in our logo represent Earth's biosphere and watery makeup. The shape reflects Earth's slightly elliptical aspect, although some might suggest it implies the stressed condition of the planet. Finally, the internal graphic contains a modified version of the ancient symbol for flowing water and the Viking rune, "Laguz", which symbolizes water, imagination and renewal.
