Environmental Services in New Orleans, LA
A New Orleans Phase I reads one of the oldest industrial waterfronts in America: three centuries of port commerce, rail yards and roundhouses, manufacturing gas plants whose residuals define entire redevelopment districts, batture land along the river with its own legal and fill history, and the citywide layer of flood-deposited sediment that complicates every question of what came from where. The ASTM E1527 review works Sanborn maps, aerials, and agency files against that density, states recognized environmental conditions plainly, and scopes Phase II sampling where the record demands data. Assessments are performed to the standard with the local depth this record requires.
Former manufactured-gas plant sites and their coal-tar residuals anchor some of the most consequential findings in New Orleans redevelopment, and their historical footprints are mappable from era documentation.
- 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 · New Orleans
Does post-flood sediment complicate contamination questions?
It adds a layer to interpret: distinguishing flood-deposited material from in-place site history matters for both liability and remediation scope, and sampling design accounts for it rather than pretending the stratigraphy is simple.
What is batture and why does it matter to due diligence?
The land between the river's low-water edge and the levee, with a legal status and fill history unlike ordinary parcels. Ownership, use rights, and what a century of river commerce deposited there all belong in the assessment of riverfront property.
