We Have Done Your Project Before.
Every engagement below mirrors a project type our clients face today. Regulatory framework. Metrics. Timeline.
Former Rail Yard Brownfield — 47-Acre Mixed-Use Redevelopment
Northeast Corridor Rail Authority · Newark, NJ
Contamination included chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and heavy metals across a former locomotive maintenance facility. Our team engineered a monitored natural attenuation plan accepted by EPA Region 2 in the first submission, eliminating the need for active remediation infrastructure.
UST Closure — 12-Site Portfolio Petroleum Release
Sunbelt Industrial Partners · Houston, TX
Twelve underground storage tank sites across Texas with varying degrees of petroleum hydrocarbon impact. Developed a risk-based corrective action framework under TCEQ that allowed phased site closure without full excavation, preserving $38M in planned industrial park financing.
Municipal Stormwater Consent Order — Phase III Compliance
City of Portland Public Works · Portland, OR
Portland faced an EPA administrative consent order for stormwater discharge violations across 23 outfall locations. Our compliance framework — delivered six weeks ahead of the agency deadline — achieved permit compliance and avoided $2.4M in potential daily fines.
PRACTICE AREAS
Every Regulatory Framework.
Every Jurisdiction.
Phase I & II Environmental Site Assessments
Recognized Environmental Conditions identified, documented, and defended before lenders, buyers, and regulators. Phase II sampling programs designed for maximum data yield with minimum mobilization cost.
Brownfield Remediation Planning
From Remedial Investigation through Feasibility Study to the Record of Decision — we engineer the path to No Further Action that keeps your financing timeline intact.
UST Closure & Petroleum Release
Risk-based corrective action frameworks that close petroleum release sites without defaulting to excavation. Portfolio-wide closures coordinated under single regulatory umbrella.
EPA Consent Order Response
When the agency has issued its order, the clock is running. We have responded to over 340 EPA and state enforcement actions — none resulting in judicial referral.
Stormwater & NPDES Compliance
Construction-phase SWPPP preparation, municipal MS4 permit compliance frameworks, and industrial stormwater discharge monitoring programs that satisfy agency inspectors.
Permit Engineering & Agency Negotiation
Direct representation before EPA, Army Corps, and state environmental agencies. Pre-application meetings, comment responses, and permit conditions negotiated before they become enforceable obligations.
