Brownfield Remediation

Underused properties can become productive again with a clear plan, reliable fieldwork, and steady regulatory coordination. Brownfield sites carry environmental risk and schedule pressure, yet they also hold value once the contamination is understood and addressed.

Our Brownfield Services

Brownfield sites often sit untouched for years because of real or perceived contamination. Old factories, gas stations, rail yards, and dry cleaners can all leave behind soil or groundwater hazards that make redevelopment risky. That’s where EnviroWorx steps in.

We help property owners, developers, and municipalities turn these properties back into safe, usable spaces. Our team works throughout Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee to investigate, clean up, and restore contaminated land. With decades of combined experience and a record of regulatory compliance, we handle each project from start to finish.

What Is Brownfield Remediation?

Brownfield remediation refers to the process of assessing and cleaning up properties affected by hazardous substances. These properties can contain petroleum products, heavy metals, solvents, asbestos, or other contaminants that pose health and environmental risks.

Contamination levels vary widely. Some sites may have surface soil issues, while others involve deep groundwater plumes that require long-term treatment. Left unaddressed, these hazards can seep into drinking water sources or create vapor intrusion issues inside buildings.

Regulatory agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), and Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) oversee these projects. They set cleanup standards, review site data, and issue closure approvals. Completing this process allows the property to be reused safely and often qualifies the owner for liability protections.

Site Assessment (Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment)

These are usually the very first steps. They involve record reviews, inspections, and sampling to confirm what contaminants are present and where.

Risk Assessment and Exposure Modeling

Used to evaluate how contaminants could affect human health or the environment and to set cleanup targets.

Soil Remediation

Contaminated soil poses a risk to ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. EnviroWorx uses advanced techniques, such as soil excavation, chemical treatment, and bioremediation, to safely clean and restore contaminated soil to its natural state.

Groundwater Remediation

Polluted groundwater is a major concern for public water sources. Our team deploys methods like pump-and-treat, in-situ bioremediation, and chemical injections to eliminate toxins and restore water quality to safe, drinkable levels.

Industrial Site Clean-Up

Abandoned or active industrial sites often contain harmful waste materials. Our industrial site cleanup service focuses on safely removing industrial pollutants and waste, helping businesses meet regulatory standards while restoring the environment.

Asbestos Abatement

EnviroWorx is certified to safely remove and dispose of asbestos and other hazardous materials from commercial and industrial properties, ensuring compliance with all safety and environmental regulations.

Selective Demolition

When a structure is too hazardous to remain standing due to contamination, we offer safe demolition services, focusing on the removal and disposal of pollutants like asbestos, lead, and other harmful materials.

Underground Storage Tank Removal

Underground storage tanks (USTs) are often used to hold hazardous materials like petroleum and various chemicals. We efficiently remove the tanks, along with any contaminated soil and groundwater, and provide clean fill material to restore and backfill the excavated area.
