It is estimated that there are 650,000 Brownfield sites in the United States today, all of which harm the economic and social health of the communities in which they are located. Many of these Brownfields would be considered prime real estate if not for their environmental stigma and potential liability.
Aquarion is proud to play an important role in returning underutilized properties back to economic vitality. In Maine alone, Aquarion is the lead environmental consultant for the Brownfields Revitalization Projects for the cities of Westbrook, Lewiston, and Bath, and for the Southern Maine Regional Planning Commission.
We help municipal officials, architects, and attorneys navigate the complexities of brownfield redevelopment including USEPA Brownfield grants, Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), Phase II Subsurface Investigations, remediation evaluations, and reuse options for the site. If you need help with the MDEP Voluntary Response Action Program (VRAP), look no further than Aquarion.
We can also provide Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP) to maintain sample quality control during the Phase II investigation portion of the project. Aquarion’s professionals recognize the importance of facilitating citizen participation throughout the decision making process.
