 Environmental
Site Assessment Services
The purpose of an Environmental Site
Assessment (or ESA) is to assess a
site for environmental liabilities,
regulatory compliance, liability reduction,
and/or potential site restoration.
Knowing and understanding the environmental
liabilities associated with a property
purchase can help create a wise investment.
Unknowingly investing in property
with environmental liabilities is
a risky and sometimes extremely expensive
venture.
Highlands Environmental Solutions,
Inc. has conducted hundreds of ESAs
throughout the mid-Atlantic region
of the United States. At sites where
environmental liabilities may exits,
we employ invasive and non-invasive
technologies to assess the severity
of impact to the soil, groundwater
and surface water by regulated constituents
(petroleum, pesticides, chlorinated
solvents, metals, nitrates, etc.).
Effectively combining in-house capabilities
with our network of subcontracted
services, we are able to provide site
assessment services to meet applicable
regulatory and industry standard requirements,
as well as, each client's unique goals
and budgets.
