BROWNFIELDS AND LAND RECYCLING

Sites which were historically used for commercial and industrial purposes frequently have environmental problems to deal with before the site can be reused. Because environmental cleanup standards were always very strict, many such sites became abandoned or underutilized and were labeled "Brownfields" sites. State and Federal initiatives have been put forward, including Pennsylvania's award winning Land Recycling Program.

RT is a leader in Brownfields and Land Recycling projects. We have already completed work at sites with PCBs, leaking tanks, and those with lead and asbestos issues. Some sites we have handled included complicated EPA/State issues, which were successfully addressed, with same sites being redeveloped for residential reuse.
