Prospective Purchaser Agreement and Environmental Brownfield Development Services

MFA completed environmental due diligence services for portions of a cleanup site that had been delisted from the National Priority List (the Superfund site list). MFA’s assessments covered a combined area of 192 acres. Portions of the property had been subjected to more than 50 years of industrial activity and more than 20 years of regulatory oversight during remedial investigation and cleanup. MFA’s services included Phase I environmental site assessments, focused investigations, cleanup actions, and assisting with obtaining two Prospective Purchaser Agreements with a state agency and a comfort letter from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

MFA provided information to the owner’s teams as the property went through master planning and into design. During this period, MFA helped the client address issues in areas such as threatened and endangered species, wetlands, stormwater, disposal and reporting requirements, hazardous building materials survey and abatement, and a contaminated media management plans. During construction MFA provided environmental oversight services that included sampling of multiple media, dust monitoring, assistance with asbestos-containing materials removal, stormwater plan preparation and sampling, agency communication and coordination, and owners’ representative services. 

The property owner’s objectives of brownfield redevelopment are being successfully implemented. MFA has helped the client effectively manage environmental conditions and stakeholder relationships, and the overall property redevelopment is a success.
