Expertise

Environmental Assessment and Remediation

Fuss & O’Neill delivers environmental solutions to both public and private sector clients from our offices throughout the east coast. Our services involve planning, permitting, design and the implementation of environmental solutions for variety of complex environmental legacy issues. Fuss & O’Neill’s clients take on significant financial risk when they acquire and develop property. In addition, we assist clients with environmental impacts that may have occurred over the span of decades as part of conducting formerly acceptable waste management business practices. Our experienced environmental assessment staff identifies the environmental conditions that may pose legal liability or development challenges, often using state-of-the-art data acquisition methods. This information is typically assembled into a document that describes a unique conceptual site model that is defensible and provides for a focused approach to potentially required remedial efforts. Whether our client is the buyer, the seller, a lending institution or a municipality, or a current owner faced with environmental challenges, our environmental assessments provide the information needed to make timely and well-founded business decisions.

Most of our clients require customized environmental remediation solutions that meet their current needs and also incorporate sustainable design techniques that consider potential future site use. Our expertise also extends to the negotiation of appropriate risk-based cleanup levels and is supported by in-house expertise in risk assessment, toxicology and industrial hygiene. We formulate remedial strategies that effectively and efficiently meet regulatory requirements with a fully integrated approach to environmental remediation that incorporates our expertise in site design and civil and structural engineering. Our remediation projects range from small soil cleanups for small business owners associated with property transfers to multi-million dollar corrective action efforts at major industrial facilities for large corporations. We define our success by achieving the immediate goals of our clients while also providing solutions that will endure and consider the needs of future owners and stakeholders.
