Brownsfield Redevelopment

Redevelopment of Brownfields properties is attractive for many reasons,
most notably: government incentives and the availability of existing infrastructure.
These previously abandoned or unused properties can be redeveloped for
productive uses at costs that are far less than developing open spaces.
Effective redevelopment of Brownfields properties includes some level
of environmental activity. The developer and/or property owner must be
cognizant of the environmental concerns at the property, particularly when
redevelopment plans may alter and affect contaminated portions of the property.
Redevelopment Support
Although government agencies provide multiple incentives to encourage redevelopment
of these properties, the redevelopment activities must be conducted in
accordance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. This
requirement may necessitate proper management of contaminated media on-site,
and may require off-site treatment/disposal of this material if it cannot
be managed effectively on-site. Patriot Environmental Management has the
capability to work directly with the developer and/or property owner to
address these environmental concerns in the most cost-effective and time-sensitive
manner.
Patriot Environmental Management can offer
assistance to the developer by performing Pre-transaction investigation
to identify potential areas of concern; participating in negotiations with
the property owner to address environmental concerns; assisting in pre-development
planning to prepare site plans that would utilize the property while limiting
the impact to contaminated areas; interacting with regulatory agencies
to effectively manage contaminated material on-site; site development oversight
and support to implement management practices for contaminated media; completing
applications for governmental grants and low-interest loans; and, performing
risk assessment studies to provide the necessary information for the engineer
to design specifications that ensure worker safety and preservation of
public health. Click here to view our Case Study.
