Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a property a brownfield site?
A property qualifies as a brownfield site when its reuse is hindered by actual or perceived pollution.
How much does brownfield remediation cost in California?
Remediation costs in California can range from $50,000 to $5 million or more, depending on site specifics. Grants can cover $500,000 to $4 million per site. Successful remediation often results in positive ROI through increased land value and community development, especially when grants or incentives offset costs.
What is environmental remediation?
Environmental remediation removes contamination from soil, groundwater, and properties to restore them to safe, development-ready conditions. The process includes site assessment, contaminant removal using proven technologies, regulatory coordination, and closure verification to ensure compliance and maximize property value.
How long does environmental remediation take in California?
Most California remediation projects take 6-24 months, depending on contamination severity, site size, and regulatory complexity. PEnterprise’s streamlined process reduces typical timelines by 20-40% through expert regulatory navigation and optimized cleanup strategies, getting properties development-ready faster.
How much does environmental remediation cost?
Environmental remediation costs typically range from $50,000 to $500,000 in California, varying by site conditions, contaminant types, cleanup goals, and property size. PEnterprise provides ROI modeling showing how remediation investment increases property value by 100-300% on average, making cleanup financially advantageous.

What is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
A Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental contamination through historical records review, site inspection, and regulatory database research. Required before most commercial property transactions in California, it determines contamination likelihood and whether Phase II testing with soil/groundwater sampling is needed.
What is a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment?
What is environmental due diligence in California real estate?
Environmental due diligence protects California property buyers from contamination liability through Phase I environmental site assessments and risk evaluation before property acquisition.
Our environmental due diligence consultants provide:
- Transaction screening through Phase I ESAs
- Risk quantification and remediation cost estimates
- California regulatory compliance verification (DTSC, Regional Water Boards)
- Environmental litigation support and documentation
- Negotiation support for environmental provisions in purchase agreements
- Post-acquisition environmental management planning
Environmental due diligence is essential for California commercial real estate acquisitions, refinancing, and portfolio management.
What is brownfield redevelopment?
How do I know if my property needs remediation?
Properties may require remediation if they have prior industrial use, underground storage tanks, environmental violations, contamination complaints, failed Phase I assessments, or are in known contamination zones. PEnterprise offers free site evaluations to determine remediation needs and provide cost-benefit analysis.
What regulations govern environmental remediation in California?
California remediation follows EPA federal standards plus state requirements from DTSC (Department of Toxic Substances Control), nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards, and local environmental health departments. PEnterprise’s 95% approval rate reflects expertise in navigating California’s complex multi-agency regulatory framework.
Can environmental remediation increase property value?
Yes, strategic remediation increases California property values by 100-300% on average. By removing contamination, securing regulatory closure, and enabling development, previously unmarketable or low-value properties become prime investment opportunities. PEnterprise designs every project to maximize financial return alongside environmental compliance.
What is soil vapor extraction?
Soil vapor extraction (SVE) removes volatile contaminants from soil by applying vacuum pressure to extract vapors, which are then treated above ground. This in-situ remediation technology effectively treats petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds without excavating soil, reducing costs and project timelines.
What contaminants can PEnterprise remediate?
PEnterprise remediates petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium), chlorinated solvents, PCBs, asbestos, pesticides, and industrial chemicals in California soil, groundwater, and building materials using proven technologies tailored to each contaminant type and site condition.
How does remediation affect property transactions?
Environmental remediation enables property transactions by removing contamination that blocks financing, insurance, and development approval. Clean Phase I/II assessments or regulatory closure letters from PEnterprise give buyers confidence, reduce liability concerns, and often increase property values by 100-300%, facilitating faster, more profitable sales.
What makes PEnterprise different from other environmental consultants?
PEnterprise uniquely combines environmental science with profit strategy. Led by triple-certified CEO Pearl Hanks (P.G., C.H.G., MBA), we deliver 95% regulatory approval rates, 91.5-99.7% contaminant removal, and 100-300% client ROI through remediation programs designed for both compliance and profitability.
