Environmental Services in Austin, TX

Environmental due diligence in Austin runs two tracks at once. The first is the standard ASTM E1527 Phase I: historical uses, from the east side's industrial and rail corridors to decades of dry cleaners, fuel stations, and tech-era manufacturing, evaluated for recognized environmental conditions. The second is Austin-specific: the Edwards Aquifer recharge and contributing zones overlay a large share of the metro's growth path, bringing regulatory constraints that shape what a parcel can become regardless of its history. We run both tracks, state findings plainly, and where the record warrants it, scope Phase II sampling that answers the actual question rather than resampling the obvious.

A parcel's position relative to the Edwards Aquifer zones is an environmental fact with land-use consequences, and it belongs in the due-diligence picture alongside the historical-use findings a Phase I traditionally carries.

  • Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for acquisitions and refinancing
  • Phase II subsurface sampling when a Phase I identifies recognized environmental conditions
  • Construction stormwater support: SWPPP compliance inspections
  • Soil management screening for export and import of fill material

FAQ · Austin

Does the recharge zone show up in a Phase I?

We address it, because it changes what the land can do. It is a regulatory condition rather than a contamination finding, but a buyer discovering impervious-cover limits after closing got incomplete due diligence, whatever the report technically covered.

Are old dry cleaners really that common a finding?

In a city this age, yes. Chlorinated solvent sites from mid-century cleaners are among the most consequential Phase I findings anywhere, and Austin's older commercial corridors have their share. The historical review is designed to catch them.
