ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSULTING & CONTRACTING

Service: Brownfields/Redevelopment

Brownfields are defined as real properties whose reuse or redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these Brownfields takes development pressures off of undeveloped land, and both improves and protects the environment. Currently many Brownfield projects are considered “in-fill” development opportunities in urban areas.

Since 1989 The Reynolds Group (TRG) has been helping Brownfield stakeholders, including property owners, their advisors, attorneys, and community redevelopment agencies bring Brownfields back to productive use.

Beginning with the Due Diligence process, TRG is expert at identifying potential environmental liabilities and assets that impact property redevelopment. Because of its extensive experience with thousands of properties, TRG can advise clients on the economic costs, schedules, regulations, and potential funding sources for environmentally impaired real estate. Working hand in hand with legal counsel as appropriate, TRG can advance projects independently or in conjunction with the formal regulatory process. TRG’s background and knowledge in the areas of development and business principles allow it to craft solutions that create “win-win” situations for buyers, sellers, financiers and developers.

TRG is respected by the regulator community and the person assigned to your project will be someone who knows how the regulators work. This knowledge is vital when assessing options for development of properties.

Client: CHROMAL PLATING & GRINDING Completed: On-Going
The Los Angeles Regional Water Board (LARWQCB) began searching in the early 2000’s for sources of chromium that had impacted key beneficial drinking water supplies in the Los Angeles area. One of TRG’s clients, a plating company, was asked to look into its past practices and assess the subsurface because another Fortune 500 company downgradient had detected highly elevated concentrations of chromium and believed it to originate from TRG’s client. Working with the law firm of Franklin, Bevins, Walsworth & McCall, TRG was able to advance work enough to demonstrate that the problem at the Fortune 500 company was more likely its own problem than TRG’s clients. By creating a compilation, surveyed regional issues report, TRG was able to graphically demonstrate that its client’s chromium issue was "de minimus". In this case, TRG worked through its clients insurer, Zurich Insurance North America.
