Environmental Due Diligence & Site Development
Reliable, Results-Driven Environmental Support for Real Estate, Development & Redevelopment Projects
At Midwest Environmental Consulting Services, we support successful site development with environmental due diligence services that identify potential risks before they become costly problems. Whether you’re a developer, investor, lender, or property owner, our experienced team guides you through the critical steps needed to evaluate a property’s environmental conditions and regulatory obligations—helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
What Is Environmental Permitting & Why Does It Matter?
Environmental due diligence is the process of assessing a property for actual or potential environmental liabilities—often required before land transactions, construction, or redevelopment projects. It is a critical component of risk management and regulatory compliance, especially for commercial and industrial properties.
Midwest Environmental Consulting provides expert insight at every stage of the development cycle—starting with site assessment and continuing through planning, permitting, remediation, and construction.
Our Due Diligence & Site Development Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of services that support both initial site acquisition and long-term project success:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
We conduct thorough Phase I ESAs in accordance with ASTM E1527-21 standards to evaluate historical and current site use, identify Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs), and assess potential contamination risks. This is a key step in protecting buyers and lenders under the CERCLA “innocent landowner” defense.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
When a Phase I ESA identifies areas of concern, we offer Phase II services that include soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling to confirm or rule out contamination. All assessments are performed in compliance with state and federal environmental standards.
Site Characterization & Remediation Support
When a Phase I ESA identifies areas of concern, we offer Phase II services that include soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling to confirm or rule out contamination. All assessments are performed in compliance with state and federal environmental standards.
Brownfield Redevelopment Consulting
We help clients unlock the value of underutilized or contaminated sites. Our brownfield services include grant support, eligibility evaluations, cleanup oversight, and risk-based closure strategies that turn environmental challenges into development opportunities.
Environmental Permitting & Regulatory Support
From erosion control plans to stormwater permitting and IDOT or municipality requirements, we guide you through every regulatory checkpoint needed to keep your project compliant and moving forward.
Wetland Delineation & Ecological Assessments
We assess potential wetland areas and ecological features that could impact land use and development timelines. Our specialists help you understand what’s buildable, what’s protected, and how to plan accordingly.
