Site Assessment

SEI conducts site assessments to evaluate the potential environmental liabilities posed by acquiring, leasing, or financing real estate. Before clients complete a transaction, SEI helps reduce their exposure to environmental and public health-related liabilities by assessing the remedial measures needed to mitigate risks. SEI personnel address site investigation and restoration needs for projects ranging from the cleanup of small spills to the investigation and remediation of major sites. Using a phased approach, SEI tailors each investigation to fit the characteristics of the site, needs of the client, and the anticipated use of the property. For property transfers, SEI helps clients minimize their exposure to liabilities associated with potential or existing contamination. SEI conducts remedial investigations and feasibility studies (RI/FS) on soil, sediment, groundwater, and surface water contaminants including metals, volatile organics, petroleum derivatives, and organic compounds such as PCBs and pesticides. In addition, SEI designs and manages remedial programs and implements operation and maintenance plans. SEI’s personnel are 40-Hour OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) certified and prepared to conduct field oversight of remedial activities.
