Brownfield Redevelopment
Landmark Environmental specializes in transforming contaminated properties into viable assets through comprehensive redevelopment strategies. We conduct environmental assessments, secure grant funding, and implement remediation plans that meet regulatory standards while maximizing economic potential. Our team manages all phases of brownfield projects, from initial risk evaluation to construction oversight, ensuring safe and sustainable reuse of industrial and commercial sites.
Phase I ESA
Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments identify potential contamination liabilities for property transactions. We exceed ASTM E1527-13 standards by incorporating vapor encroachment evaluations and state-specific requirements. The process includes historical research, site reconnaissance, regulatory database reviews, and detailed reporting to satisfy lender, legal, and regulatory agency requirements while protecting client interests.
Vapor Intrusion Mitigation
Landmark designs and implements vapor intrusion mitigation systems to prevent hazardous vapors from entering buildings. Our solutions include sub-slab depressurization, active vapor extraction, and engineered barriers tailored to site-specific geology and contaminant profiles. We conduct soil vapor investigations, risk assessments, and long-term monitoring to ensure compliance with EPA and state environmental protection standards.
Hazardous Material Surveys
We conduct pre-demolition surveys for asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and other hazardous materials in commercial and industrial buildings. Our certified professionals identify regulated substances, develop abatement plans, and oversee safe removal processes. Services include material sampling, regulatory reporting, and contractor coordination to ensure compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations during renovation or demolition projects.

Landmark secures and manages environmental remediation grants from federal, state, and local programs. We identify applicable funding sources, prepare applications, and administer grants for brownfield cleanup projects. Our expertise includes EPA Brownfields grants, state revolving loan funds, and regional economic development programs that reduce financial barriers to contaminated site redevelopment.
