In efforts to conserve undeveloped land, legislation has been enacted at the Federal and State levels to promote the redevelopment of vacant industrialized land or abandoned former industrial sites known as Brownfield properties. Brownfield properties are often located in urban areas. These laws encourage the return of mildly contaminated sites (Brownfields) to productive use through economic incentives, limitations on liability, and risk-based cleanup programs. EWMA has been involved in remediating Brownfield properties since 1988. In addition to providing investigatory and remedial cleanup services, EWMA's Brownfield consulting capabilities include: integrating environmental issues with architectural and engineering aspects of a project, identifying sources for private and public funding and limiting liability, and conducting property valuations as they relate to environmental contamination. EWMA has also designed a unique program, know as SECUR-IT®, that is used to provide a guaranteed fixed-price for the remediation and includes an environmental insurance policy to limit liability.
