Sand County Environmental, Inc., is a nationally-recognized environmental engineering firm providing a full array of phytoremediation and traditional remediation solutions to private and public service sectors. Our work is most often conducted for owners of landfills, lenders, retail and wholesale agricultural chemical storage facilities, local and state governments, and other property owners where soil, groundwater, or stormwater management issues are of concern.
Sand County Environmental field staff just completed a solar powered irrigation project with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community under the direction of Dr. Ron Zalesny of the USDA Forest Service. The irrigation will maintain a phytoremediation (plant-based environmental cleanup) planting on mining wastes known as ‘stamp sands’ which are impacting Lake Superior.
Dr. Zalesny is a world-renowned researcher whose specialty is breeding trees to maximize their capabilities for phytoremediation. His methods are internationally certified by the United Nations. We are honored to partner with him on this meaningful project.

How can I learn more about the PV irrigation rig? I presume it directly powers a pump with no need for an inverter... ballpark cost?
We have recently added a new service, Legionella Testing.
