Brownfields Redevelopment

Brownfields are properties which the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminate. –epa.gov

Vieau Associates consults industrial, commercial, and governmental clients in a comprehensive and practical manner in order to provide evaluation and assessment of potential liability and costs associated with the redevelopment of environmentally tainted properties.
 
 
 
 
Our Brownfields Redevelopment services include:
  • Identification and acquisition of reimbursement funds available from federal, state, and local land recycling and cleanup grant programs.
  • Assessment of site planning, feasibility, design, and permitting.
  • Securing written liability assurances from regulatory agencies.
  • Utilization of risk based corrective action in order to minimize cleanup costs while reducing risk to human health and the environment.
  • Definition of environmental parameters for such instruments as institutional and engineering controls, insurance policies, and purchase agreements.
  • Development of Response Action Plans, Construction Contingencies Plans, and construction specifications and management in order to characterize environmental issues for developers.
  • Regulatory communications, information disclosures, and community outreach.
Vieau Associates Brownfields Development services are tailored to meet development and acquisition schedules. We provide key assistance for redevelopment initiatives involving land assembly, multiple property owners or occupants, or large area/corridor planning.
 
We can be relied upon for professionalism and sound judgment in transactions involving multiple stakeholders with highly variable interests, where objectivity and advocacy in the interpretation of environmental data must be clearly delineated.
