Real Estate Phase I Environmental Assessments

While providing the highest quality risk management at the best cost, we keep you in the loop during the entire process
Some of the best risk management in the country in provided by sending only professionals with experience and advanced degrees to your property
Experienced personnel can tell the difference between a real issue and minor issue; entry level technicians "over-sighted' by someone else cannot
If an inexperienced consultant does not understand an issue, ofttimes the issue is flagged as a serious problem when, with a little more effort, would show it is not a problem
Working as a team, a shortened critical pathway to real estate transaction closure is achieved.

Real Estate Phase II Environmental Studies - Subsurface Investigations

Turnkey drilling operations and laboratory analysis through the United States and Canada
Surface, subsurface, and ground water sampling
Competent strata drilling
Push Drilling with ATV or pick up mounted rigs to obtain numerous Phase II investigation samples save time and costs

Underground Storage Tank Removals (USTs)

Turnkey tank removals are completed anywhere, anyhow, anytime; and if you like, we keep you involved in each facet of the removal so you control costs along the way including:

Farms
Homes: Find out if your tank is unregulated and you can remove it for a fraction of the cost and still comply with all applicable environmental regulations
Businesses
Abandoned tanks
Gas stations

Remediation

Soil and ground water clean up of petroleum and hazardous waste releases
By deploying a menu of technologies larger firms have turned to us for guidance on extensive ground water problems
Solidification and disposal of Non-Haz fluid waste streams where deep well injection or POTW discharges are not acceptable

Legal Consulting for Law Firms

Expert witness, forensic research
Third party oversight
"Erin Brockovich" style canvasing door to door of neighborhoods
Depositions

Wetlands

Preliminary assessments of wetlands on your property sometimes will eliminate the need for further studies
Preliminary mapping of US Fish and Wildlife jurisdictional wetlands on your property
Variance letters
Full wetland delineation mapping as necessary

Hazardous Waste Management

Identification and categorization
Consolidation and disposal with access to the most dependable incinerator and disposal facilities in the country
Streaming processes to save you time and money
Disposal options to keep costs down and production up

NEPA Environmental Impact Assessments

Federally regulated facilities fall under the environmental jurisdiction of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
NEPA requires an assessment of a broad range of issues not usually required by the normal Phase I Environmental process such as air quality, noise pollution, historic preservation sites, wetlands, farmlands protection, endangered plant and animal species, hazardous and toxic sites, floodplains, and a variety of local societal issues
HUD typically requires NEPA studies to accompany the Phase I
Other types of projects that require a NEPA study include park and other land swaps or deals involving Federal money and cell phone wireless towers

Indoor Air Quality, Vapor Sampling and Mitigation

Not only finding the source of the problem, installation of discrete subsurface vapor extraction systems inexpensively restore air quality
Network of indoor air mitigation experts experienced at homes around major U.S. military bases bring the best solution at the best cost

Home and Business Issues

Asbestos Assessments
Asbestos building demolitions
Lead Assessments in Homes
Radon Testing
Drinking Water testing at home, farm or business. Wells, springs, hydrants, and home faucets are commonly sampled (/ground-water.html). Tests commonly include Coliform Bacteria, Nitrate, Lead, Chlorine, and any other compound that may be of local concern.

Septic Tank/Leach Field Environmental Impacts

Septic system closure and removal
Nitrate impacts to drinking water
Other tracer studies

Geophysical Studies

During the Phase I Assessment, sometimes non-invasive approaches to finding subsurface issues using ground penetrating radar or magnetometers can help you avoid the subsurface drilling
If Phase II drilling is unavoidable, then a geophysical study can focus the drilling effort instead of having someone "swiss cheese" your property with a drill rig

Geologic Studies

Phase II Subsurface Investigation coring and logging
Geo technical studies to determine suitability of construction
Mapping and interpretation
Aquifer assessments
Mining impacts to the subsurface and ground water
Material reserve studies
