environmental consulting and hydrogeological consulting in Maryland

Environmental Site Assessment, Investigation, Remediation and Closure

Environmental ConsultingALWI is an environmental consulting company specializing in two complementary practice areas: the environmental assessment of property to evaluate its physical condition and development/redevelopment suitability, and water resources exploration, development, management and protection. Our company has earned a reputation for providing innovative and cost-effective environmental solutions by combining sound scientific study criteria with economic, environmental, and community considerations. As a corporate philosophy, our professional efforts are focused on protecting the environment, for the betterment of public health and welfare. We are accustomed to working under circumstances of stringent timelines, fixed budgets and strict confidentiality requirements. These three elements often are central in planning and executing real estate evaluations and transactions.

ALWI's professional staff has completed nearly a thousand Phase I and Phase II ESAs, as well as several hundred Transaction Screens, subsurface hydrogeologic investigations, landfill studies, and environmental remediation designs. Our staff has performed similar work throughout the eastern and central United States, and maintains appropriate licensure in Maryland and many neighboring jurisdictions. Our staff has performed over 900 ESA projects, collectively, within Maryland and a surrounding radius of over 500 miles.

Generally, the purpose of ESAs is to identify 'recognized environmental conditions' (REC), defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as "the presence or likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, past release or material threat of release into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the property. RECs are not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally do not present a material risk of harm to the public health or the environment. De minimus conditions may be considered those that would not generally be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate government agencies."
