ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS


Freedom Environmental Services is available to assist you in performing site-wide environmental assessments necessary to meet State and Federal guidelines. Environmental assessments are also an essential tool in real estate transfers, site development, refinancing, and even foreclosures. Due to the threat of litigation over damage to property, natural resources, and human health (and the high cost of remedial action with regard to contaminated land), environmental assessments are often required by corporations and lending institutions before any financial commitment is made.

Phase I Environmental Assessments are non-intrusive investigations designed to evaluate the historical use of your site, focusing on identifying any possible environmental impact. This includes a site visit to identify environmental concerns or risks including hazardous waste storage, spills, petroleum storage, suspected PCB’s or asbestos containing material. A review of available, State and Federal databases is made, including available regulatory information on the site and any adjacent properties, as well as a look at the site’s prior ownership.

Phase II Environmental Assessments provide for active sampling to assess and characterize actual conditions. This may include soil sampling and boring, laboratory analyses, Organic Volatile Aromatic vapor screening, hazardous substance and sludge analyses, and the installation of temporary or permanent monitoring systems. At Freedom Environmental Services, our goal is to proceed with maximum efficiency according to predefined objectives so that field and laboratory costs can be minimized.
 

 

In the event that contamination is detected, Freedom Environmental Services has the expertise to design, implement, and oversee all necessary remedial procedures. We ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, as well as performing all work in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Our years of experience and comprehensive understanding of environmental regulations helps assure for a quick site cleanup, whether the issues involved are groundwater recovery, soil removal, cleaning or removal of contaminated equipment, spill recovery, emplacement of monitoring equipment, or aboveground and underground storage tank replacement or closure.

You can count on FES for the highest level of professionalism in assessing the environmental risks associated with your industrial or commercial property.
