Wright also offers Stormwater Pollution Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Planning, Facility Response Planning (FRPs), and Compliance Assistance; Stormwater Pollution Prevention Planning (SWP3s) and Compliance Assistance; Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) Compliance Assistance; Integrated Contingency Planning (ICPs) and Compliance Assistance.
Due Diligence
Wright Environmental’s Due Diligence experience ranges from small to large tracts of land that are largely undeveloped to commercial and industrial facilities with significant environmental concerns. By conducting extensive research, through historical sources and onsite investigations, Wright is able to determine any environmental concerns that may have existed at some point on the property or in the surrounding area.
In addition, Wright has the experience and background to advise our clients regarding the options for resolving any environmental issues that may be identified during a Phase I or II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). To this end, it is Wright’s goal to assist with finding solutions to real or perceived environmental concerns in a manner that will allow site development and completion of a property transaction if it is in the best interest of our clients. Due diligence work beyond the scope of a Phase I ESA may include additional historical research, regulatory file reviews, or onsite subsurface investigations (Phase II Site Assessment) that involves the installation of soil borings and/or temporary/permanent monitoring wells to characterize any potential soil or groundwater impacts. Wright may also assist the client in identifying opportunities to utilize available regulatory programs like the Innocent Owner/Operator Program (IOP), Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) or Municipal Settings Designation (MSD) Program to resolve environmental issues and allow for successful completion of the property transaction.
