Brownfields/Redevelopment
Industrial complexes and facilities can house any number of environmentally hazardous materials. If these buildings fall into disuse, the necessary action should be to immediately dispose of these hazardous materials at an appropriate treatment of recycling plant. Unfortunately, not all hazardous material is properly disposed of, leading to the contamination of the surrounding environment. Depending on the severity of contamination, these sites are given classifications as to its potential of redevelopment. If a facility has a low level of contamination and can be restored, the facility is considered a “Brownfield site.”
In order to determine if a site can qualify as a Brownfield, a thorough site analysis must be performed. The professionals at EnviroSense have been supporting clients with site assessment and remediation for over 20 years. The expertise of our staff can be helpful in:
