Environmental responsibility is an increasingly important and significant concern, particularly in conducting business in today’s climate of rapidly changing regulatory programs.  Key aspects of environmental responsibility require compliance with a complexity of environmental laws, rules, regulations, and procedures in order to avoid potentially significant environmental liabilities.  HEA environmental professionals have the background and knowlege to assist clients through the maze of environmental regulations.

The word “Contamination” can almost always ruin a land purchase and can can strike fear into the pocketbook of any landowner. It is very important for a potential to have a competant environmental professional conduct a detailed investigation of a parcel of land before purchasing the property.  The cost to assess and remediate a contaminated parcel of land can easily be more than the property is worth.  HEA has those competant environmental professionals.

As independent consultants, we can provide assistance in the areas of contamination and site assessments; soil and groundwater site remediation; soil and groundwater sampling and monitoring; Phase I, II, and III Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)s; report review; regulatory mediation; and expert witness testimony for your environmental needs.

We have successfully conducted and completed numerous contamination assessment plans; contamination and site assessments; remedial action plans; monitoring plans; groundwater, surface water, and soil sampling and monitoring; and remedial activities for the petroleum industry as well as other industrial facilities.  We have also provided both project management and Health & Safety management on major soil excavation and remediation projects.

We have also successfully conducted and completed numerous Phase I, II, and III ESAs for real estate property transfers using the following standards, based on a specific client’s needs and budget:

•  Complete compliance with American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) standards;
• Complete Phase I ESA Report using various independent bank standards;
• Phase I ESA Summary Report – conducting all of the requirements of a Phase I ESA while only submitting general conclusions and recommendations; and,
• Environmental Transaction Screening Process (TSP) in accordance with ASTM standards.

HEA can save you a significant sum of money and limit liability by identifying environmental concerns prior to purchase that may be difficult to detect.  These environmental concerns may include abandoned underground storage tanks, buried debris, and buried hazardous materials directly from the properties to be acquired or from contamination from nearby parcels that may impact the properties to be acquired.
