Looking at a Contaminated Property? We can help limit liability and costs.
United Realty Advisors’s sister company, United Consulting, has used Georgia’s Brownfield Act to assist developers to buy and sell
contaminated properties. The Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Act provides exemption for qualified buyers from groundwater
remediation and third party liabilities for past releases. Specific steps and actions are needed, which United Consulting can perform for you. United Consulting can prepare the Brownfield (BF) application. This is commonly a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for soil contamination. We can implement the CAP, and then prepare the Compliance State Report (CSR) at the conclusion to obtain the environmental Limitation of Liability (LOL) from the State. We have done this successfully for numerous HSI and non-HSI properties, and currently have many more in the Brownfield Program (BFP). Most without legal assistance.
This process can be applied to any contaminated property, not just industrial facilities. Commercial properties can benefit from this Act, including gas stations and dry cleaners. The LOL also passes to future buyers and includes not being required to remediate groundwater, not being subject to change in environmental regulations, and protection from third party liability.
