Contaminant Management

Soil and groundwater contamination are tedious, sensitive issues. The legal responsibilities can be confusing – who is responsible for the contamination? At what point is action necessary? How does the contamination affect the future use and development of the property? Bonestroo’s long history of contaminant management consulting includes the investigation, remediation and documentation needed to alleviate the difficulties associated with these issues. We work closely with regulatory agencies, often negotiating on behalf of our clients to produce cost-effective work scopes that still comply with regulations and allows for beneficial use or redevelopment of the property. Our experience and great reputation in the field can help save our clients time and money.
