Impacted Property Solutions

Real estate management and development projects, storage tank facilities, and industrial properties often encounter operational or historical environmental issues that require corrective action. In addition to our contaminated property investigation, remediation, and closure services, Astbury assists clients with funding options to offset potentially expensive compliance costs. To help cover the costs associated with cleanup activities, we help pursue funding options from state reimbursement funds, insurance policies, and Brownfield grants. In addition to our environmental services and cost recovery services, our incentives include flexible contracts and payment options and, where high-quality opportunities exist, partnerships with real estate acquisition or development companies. Several of our case histories outlined on this web-site describe how we provided funding options for clients which allowed them to make their properties (and/or business) more viable by addressing and closing environmental liabilities.

We can provide the following services to assist our clients with impacted property cleanup and compliance:

• State (ELTF) trust fund eligibility evaluation and claim processing
• Insurance asset and cost recovery
• Grant applications (State, EPA, HUD)
• Flexible contracting and payment terms
• Community involvement assistance programs, such as developing contact lists, issuing fact sheets, and participating in public meetings
• Pre-acquisition/Foreclosure evaluations
• State Voluntary Cleanup Program applications
• Asbestos surveys and abatement
• On-site lead surveys using XRF technology
• Engineering evaluation and cost analysis (EECA) reports
• Risk-based corrective action studies and establishing risk-based cleanup levels
