Five services. One question: What does your property need?
Environmental Due Diligence, Phase I & II ESA
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (records, reconnaissance, interviews) and, when findings warrant, Phase II ESAs (soil, vapor, and groundwater sampling); engineering documents that require a professional seal are signed and sealed by the responsible Florida-licensed Professional Engineer.
Phase I & II ESA →
Brownfields & Voluntary Remediation
Program entry, cleanup planning, and closure, turning a stalled, impacted parcel back into a sellable, redevelopable asset, often with regulatory and financial incentives.
Brownfields & Remediation →
Hazardous Waste Management & Compliance
Classifying waste streams and meeting federal, state, and local handling and reporting requirements under CERCLA and RCRA, without disrupting operations.
Hazardous Waste →
Used Oil Permitting & Management
Used-oil management applications, permits, and engineering plans for processing facilities, public collection centers, transporters, and transfer stations, as a registered Florida engineering business.
Used Oil Permitting →
Storage Tank (UST) / SPCC Management
Licensed Pollutant Storage Systems contracting, UST removal and closure, storage-tank compliance, SPCC planning, and discharge response for gas stations, fleet, and industrial sites.
Storage Tank / SPCC →Environmental risk is invisible until due diligence surfaces it.
Most environmental risk on a commercial property stays hidden until an assessment brings it to light, usually at the worst possible moment, mid-transaction. Early, accurate work protects buyers, sellers, and lenders from inheriting someone else's liability, and it keeps deals from falling through over surprises that could have been quantified up front.
What drives the cost of a Phase I / Phase II ESA.
"What will this cost?" is the first question owners ask. There's no flat answer, but the drivers are knowable. Here's what moves an assessment up or down.
A property that was always a warehouse is simpler than one that was a gas station, dry cleaner, or plating shop.
Petroleum, solvents, heavy metals, and used oil each carry different investigation requirements.
Acreage, number of structures, and how many potential source areas exist.
A clean Phase I ends the work; recognized conditions mean sampling, the biggest single cost variable.
County, state, lender, and program requirements all shape the scope of work.
Transaction deadlines affect scope and sequencing. When needed, a Phase I can be completed in as little as 72 hours.
