Environmental Advisors, Inc.

Detecting Environmental Risks

Services

Environmental issues rarely exist in isolation. They affect transactions, financing, development timelines, and liability exposure.

Our services are designed to bring clarity, defensibility, and direction to complex environmental situations—particularly when the stakes are high.

Environmental Due Diligence & Forensic Review

Independent evaluation of Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM E1527-21 and related reports).

We identify:

Gaps, inconsistencies, and overstated conclusions
Whether a complete exposure pathway exists
The true significance of reported conditions

Often engaged when environmental findings are impacting a transaction or financing decision.

Cost-to-Cure & Environmental Liability Analysis

Assessment of remediation scope and associated costs in the context of regulatory requirements and site-specific conditions.

We provide:

Realistic cost-to-cure estimates
Evaluation of alternative remediation strategies
Support for allocation of environmental liability

Used in acquisitions, financings, negotiations, and dispute resolution.

We help clients understand:

How to align compliance with project or transaction timelines
