Investigation and Remediation

Brownfields are often abandoned, closed, or underutilized industrial or commercial properties. Since the 1990’s, BCA has provided consulting services related to the reuse of brownfield properties. We help clients to identify environmental liabilities and develop solutions to facilitate redevelopment. BCA understands that each brownfield property is unique in both challenges and potential. We collaborate with our clients to develop a strategy to maximize brownfield reuse benefits while minimizing the risk of liability.

BCA’s Investigation and Remediation Group’s experience allows us to conduct Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) and develop remediation solutions that consider property uses, safety, environmental conditions, development plans, and impacts to stakeholders. If the results of assessment require remedial action, BCA’s remediation professionals design cost-effective solutions that meet regulatory closure standards.

Often, environmental damages, either real or perceived, are an obstacle to property investment.  BCA’s Funding Development Team creates unique, tailored funding strategies to address contaminated properties, having successfully procured tens of millions of dollars in funding for hundreds of contaminated sites for clients thorough our industry leading funding development strategies.

Redevelopment of environmentally impacted properties can be difficult.  BCA’s Redevelopment Team has decades of experience guiding clients through the process of contaminated property reuse.  Contamination often dictates limitations on property reuse.  BCA’s experts strategize with clients to determine the highest and best reuse of environmentally impacted properties.

BCA’s Real Estate Transaction Team has over a century of combined experience supporting buyers and sellers to meet due diligence requirements for real estate transactions. Because property owner liabilities are at stake, it is critical to consult with an environmental professional knowledgeable in all aspects of environmental liabilities during property transactions.

BCA works with clients, local governments, regulators, and stakeholders to create demolition and/or site preparation plans to facilitate the removal of unwanted structures, allowing the highest and best site reuse.  These properties often have environmental concerns which complicate the demolition and remediation processes, including asbestos, underground storage tanks, soil contamination, lead paint, recyclable materials, etc.
