Environmental Consulting Services in Broward County
Environmental Expertise for Commercial Properties, Development & Complex Environmental Projects
CRB provides environmental consulting services throughout Broward County for property owners, developers, lenders, attorneys, facility operators, and businesses navigating environmental due diligence, contamination, regulatory requirements, and property-related environmental concerns.
Environmental Expertise That Stays With Your Project
Environmental projects can become more complex as new information is discovered. A property transaction may begin with environmental due diligence and progress into sampling, contamination assessment, remediation, regulatory coordination, and closure support.
CRB provides the technical continuity to stay involved as the environmental scope evolves, giving clients one team that understands the property's history, findings, regulatory status, and project objectives.
PHASE I ESA → PHASE II ESA → SITE ASSESSMENT → CORRECTIVE ACTION → REGULATORY COORDINATION → CLOSURE SUPPORT
One team. One project history. No unnecessary handoffs.
Environmental Due Diligence, Site Investigation & Consulting Services in Broward County
CRB provides environmental consulting across the property lifecycle, from evaluating environmental risk before a commercial real estate transaction to investigating contamination, supporting corrective action, managing regulatory requirements, and evaluating complex groundwater conditions.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
Environmental due diligence that identifies potential environmental concerns before acquiring, financing, refinancing, or redeveloping commercial property. CRB performs ASTM E1527-21 Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for Broward County commercial real estate transactions requiring clear, defensible environmental due diligence.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
When environmental concerns warrant further investigation, CRB develops site-specific Phase II Environmental Site Assessment scopes using targeted soil, groundwater, soil gas, or other appropriate environmental sampling. The investigation is designed around the environmental concern, site history, property conditions, and objectives of the project rather than applying the same sampling program to every property.

Environmental Remediation & Corrective Action
When investigation identifies contamination requiring further action, CRB supports clients with contamination assessment, remediation planning, corrective action, monitoring, and regulatory coordination. Our ability to remain involved from investigation through remediation helps preserve the property's technical history as the project progresses.

Environmental Regulatory Compliance
Commercial and industrial operations may be subject to environmental requirements based on their activities, materials, equipment, discharges, and applicable jurisdiction. CRB provides environmental compliance support involving stormwater and SWPPP compliance, SPCC planning, hazardous waste and RCRA compliance, environmental monitoring and reporting, storage tank compliance, and regulatory coordination, as applicable to the facility and scope.
Commercial Asbestos & Mold Assessment
Renovation, demolition, water intrusion, suspected asbestos-containing materials, and moisture-related conditions can create environmental concerns within existing buildings. CRB provides commercial asbestos surveys, mold assessments, and mitigation consulting for commercial, multifamily, institutional, and operational properties throughout Broward County.

Environmental Expert Witness & Litigation Support
Environmental disputes can involve technically complex questions related to contamination, hydrogeology, environmental due diligence, remediation, or regulatory matters. CRB's qualified environmental professionals provide environmental and geological expert-witness support, technical review, data interpretation, expert reports, and litigation consulting within their areas of expertise.
Broward County Environmental Conditions Require Local Understanding
Broward County's combination of dense development, commercial and industrial land uses, redevelopment, historical property uses, and South Florida hydrogeology can create environmental considerations throughout the lifecycle of a property.
Environmental concerns may emerge during acquisition, financing, redevelopment, construction, facility operations, or investigation of known or suspected contamination. Where soil or groundwater contamination is present, local hydrogeologic conditions can also influence contaminant assessment, migration, remediation, and construction activities.
CRB has provided environmental and geological consulting in Florida since 1992. That experience gives our team practical knowledge of South Florida environmental conditions while providing clients with the technical capabilities to manage projects that extend beyond the region.
Understanding Broward County Environmental Permitting & Regulatory Requirements
Environmental projects in Broward County can involve County, state, and federal regulatory programs, depending on the environmental condition, regulated activity, property, and scope of work.
The Broward County Environmental Permitting Division administers environmental programs involving contaminated sites, assessment and remediation, storage tanks, hazardous materials, dewatering, wastewater, surface water management, and other regulated activities. Broward County also maintains environmental information through resources including its contaminated-site inventory and ENVIROS environmental records system.
Depending on the project, environmental requirements may also involve the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or other authorities with jurisdiction.
CRB helps clients identify applicable environmental considerations and manage the technical assessment, documentation, reporting, and regulatory coordination required for the project.
The right regulatory path depends on the property, environmental condition, and applicable program.
