Site Assessments/Brownfields

 

The potential environmental liability associated with real estate acquisitions, divestitures, or mergers requires due diligence in the form of environmental site assessments. BAI assesses this potential and assists in mitigating and overseeing remedial obligations.

 

In issues concerning ground-water contamination, asbestos cleanup, or indiscriminate waste disposal, we can successfully determine the full scope of the problem, perform all phases of study and remediation, and assist our clients in achieving present or future regulatory compliance. 

 

 

In Pennsylvania, recent Act 2 sites have been successfully certified through BAI efforts, and brownfields properties have received PaDEP releases.
