 Our Phase
I Environmental Site Assessments adhere to the latest
EPA and ASTM rules and standards. These reports are very common
for real estate transactions and are usually required by lending
institutions. Even if you are not going through a lender, we
recommend that you conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment
to protect you from being held responsible for present, past
or future environmental liabilities that could be associated
with the property. This report establishes the historical uses
of the property and will determine if there are any potential
environmental liabilities. Data such as: aerial photographs,
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, building permits, city directories,
historical topography maps and government databases are reviewed
as part of the Phase I process. A site inspection is also conducted
in an attempt to observe any possible areas of concern. Additionally,
interviews are conducted with the current property owner and
occupant, as well as, adjacent property owners and occupants.
 Our Phase II Environmental Site
Assessments are conducted by experienced professionals
and the scope of work is designed to provide just enough data
to determine if any significant environmental impact has occurred.
This strategy takes a "real world" approach to the
occasional need for further soil testing and/or groundwater testing
that may be required if unresolved issues are found during the
Phase I process. We design the project so as to minimize the
number of samples that are collected, but to still have enough
data to determine if there has been significant environmental
impact, such as an actual potential threat to human health.
Our reports are issued with the understanding
that it will be the responsibility of the Client, or of his representative,
to ensure proper/legal disclosures to public, private and regulatory
entities. If a contamination problem is found, you may need to
go through the local government oversight agency to obtain closure
for the property. Quick Environmental can help you through this
process by acting as your representative in negotiations and reporting
to the local agency. Most lending institutions will require a closure
certificate from the oversight agency prior to underwriting a loan,
if there is a significant environmental liability at the property.
 The results of this investigation will
allow Quick Environmental personnel to determine if remedial action
will be necessary for the site or if a letter of "No Further
Action (NFA)" can be prepared to request closure from NJDEP
or PADEP. Quick Environmental can put together a remediation action
plan if it has been concluded that the site has one or more sources
of contamination. A remedial design is developed that incorporates
the best available technology for contaminant remediation while
considering the physical properties and development of the site.
The remedial design and implementation are often performed in conjunction
with state-funded or voluntary cleanup programs and those programs
generally dictate the final form of the remediation.
The technology involved in the cleanup
of contaminated property is ever evolving. Quick Environmental's
senior staff stays current with changes in the industry to insure
that our client's remedial needs are being addressed utilizing
the best available technology. We are also cognizant of the fact
that the design of these advanced engineering projects often requires
review, certification and approval by state-licensed individuals.
We are constantly evaluating our affiliate needs to insure that
we are able to provide all necessary licensure and certification
across the country.
