BROWNFIELDS SITE REDEVELOPMENT

Altamont’s services include managing contaminated parcels that qualify for acceptance into Brownfields programs. In Western North Carolina, we completed one of the first Brownfields projects under this program. At another site, an older, closed landfill was successfully redeveloped and is now the location of a successful outdoor equipment company. Furthermore, at an abandoned forest products mill site, a series of “no further action” agreements were negotiated with the state regulatory agency for various portions of the property. Subdividing the property allowed a phased approach resulting in rapid redevelopment of portions of the site, with significant economic benefits to the client.
 
 
 

One aspect of Altamont’s Brownfields experience involves managing the environmental risks associated with demolition and disposal of outdated structures and equipment. Our experience includes work on complex industrial sites such as forest products facilities and munitions manufacturing sites where we have completed pre-demolition assessments to identify building materials (e.g., lead paint, asbestos containing materials), equipment (e.g., transformers, mercury switches) and residual chemicals that would pose a risk during demolition. We routinely work with subcontractors to remove unsuitable materials and demolish outdated structures.

On all Brownfields redevelopment projects, we listen to our clients to understand their vision for site redevelopment and then we establish an assessment and remediation approach to achieve that vision.
