Environmental Remediation and Waste Management for Land Development

Contaminated land can be exceedingly difficult to develop into a safe, productive site. Whether you wish to convert the land into a housing development, an industrial facility or a livestock grazing field, the presence of contaminants can pose significant health risks to people and animals alike.

Contaminants in the ground typically arise from industrial activities and poor waste management. Hazardous substances may include petroleum, solvents, heavy metals, asbestos, timber treatment chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and more.

This is why environmental remediation is crucial for land development project management — you needto be able to assess all of the risks involved, manage waste and clean up the affected sites.
