Enacted in 1980 by the EPA, The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), gave the federal government the ability to respond to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, and to pursue polluters (“responsible parties”) or potential polluters (“potentially responsible parties”) for the cleanup of these contaminated sites. This includes the responsibility to conduct “All Appropriate Inquiries” prior to a property transaction to qualify for exemption from CERCLA liability for cleanup costs. Cleaning up Superfund sites is a complex, multi-phase process. And it is one that Carlyle Environmental Investment Group takes significant interest in.

We are an investment group looking to invest our time, energy, and resources to the cleanup of environmentally contaminated sites. Most commercial real estate transactions require environmental due diligence, in the form of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), prior to the transaction to determine whether the site may have contamination concerns. If the property owner does not want to pay for further testing and remediation, we will buy it as is and take responsibility for the remediation, cleanup, demolition, restoration, and resale of said property.

In other words, Carlyle Environmental Investment Group will take on full management of a real estate development project at any level. We have the resources to complete all phases of contaminated property restoration- from assessments to remediation, from demolition to reconstruction. No job is too big or too small!
