Services
Phase I ESAs
Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments follow ASTM E1527-21 standards to identify potential environmental liabilities. We conduct thorough record reviews, site inspections, and stakeholder interviews to evaluate contamination risks. This service helps clients make informed real estate decisions while protecting against future liability.
Phase II ESAs
Phase II ESAs involve scientific testing to confirm contamination presence and extent. We collect soil, water, and material samples to analyze for petroleum products and hazardous substances. Our findings guide remediation decisions while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards for property transactions.
Remediation
Environmental remediation removes contaminants from soil, groundwater, and surface water. We implement solutions like excavation, chemical injection, and bio-remediation to meet regulatory closure requirements. Our team ensures cost-effective cleanup while minimizing environmental impact.
Underground Storage Tanks
We provide complete UST management including removal, investigation, and BUSTR-compliant remediation. Our services cover tank system assessments, regulatory filings, and contamination cleanup. We help clients achieve No Further Action status while maximizing potential reimbursement.
Environmental Inspections
Our inspections identify asbestos, mold, lead-based paint, and other hazards in commercial properties. We perform regulatory-compliant surveys for demolitions, renovations, and occupancy changes. Services include material testing, risk assessments, and compliance documentation.
