KWs: contaminated sites assessment
Contaminated water or land can be a huge problem for anyone who wants to buy it. As well as causing considerable health issues, contaminated water or land can have a negative impact on the environment. Having a contaminated site assessment and getting a plan in place for corrective actions for contaminated groundwater, soil and surface water requires an in-depth understanding of all of the systems involved.
Reasons to Have a Contaminated Site Assessment
There are several reasons why you’d have a contaminated site assessment before you purchase a property or start a building project. They include:
- Cost – If you were to buy a property and discover that it has contaminated areas, you could be liable to remedy the situation. Costs could quickly spiral into thousands of dollars and you may not have this kind of money on hand if you just bought the land. If you know about the contamination beforehand, you can negotiate a lower selling price or choose not to buy it at all.
- Time– Remediating any contaminated areas in your land takes time. How long it takes depends on how big the contaminated areas are and how deep the contamination goes. It can delay any projects you have planned for the site and waste a lot of time and resources that could end up with you blowing your budget.
- Law – By law, you have to have a contaminated site assessment, especially if the area has known contaminants in it. You’ll have to get a clean bill for the property in question, no matter if it’s cleaning up after you finish a project or cleaning the area before you start something new.
