Brownfields & Voluntary Remediation
Turn a stalled, impacted parcel back into a sellable, financeable, redevelopable asset.
What it is, and when you need it.
When a property carries known or suspected contamination, remediation gives the problem a defined scope, schedule, and budget: the point where uncertainty becomes something a transaction can manage. GeoTech handles program entry, cleanup planning, and closure and, where it fits, uses Florida's Brownfields and voluntary cleanup programs, which can carry regulatory and financial incentives.
You likely need this if…
- A Phase II confirmed soil or groundwater impact
- A deal stalled because of contamination
- You want to redevelop a formerly industrial or fuel site
- You're weighing cleanup cost against sale price
- You may qualify for Brownfields incentives
How the work gets done.
- Assess
Define the Condition
Confirm what's there and where, from the Phase II data.
- Program & plan
Program Entry
Enter the appropriate state cleanup or Brownfields program.
- Program & plan
Cleanup Plan & Budget
A remedy with a scope, a schedule, and a defensible number.
- Cleanup
Execute Remediation
Source removal and treatment, managed around the property and the deal.
- Cleanup
Monitoring
Confirm the remedy is working, for as long as the program requires.
- Closure
Closure
A completion order or no-further-action determination the market can trust.
Step 5: Monitoring continues until the program's closure criteria are met.
What drives cost and timeline.
Extent of impact
How much soil and groundwater is affected drives everything downstream.
Remedy selected
Source removal, treatment, or monitored natural attenuation carry different costs.
Program & incentives
Brownfields and voluntary programs can offset cost and change timeline.
Monitoring duration
Groundwater monitoring can run months to years until closure.
Frequently asked questions.
What does closure actually mean?
A regulator-issued completion order or no-further-action determination: documentation the buyer and lender can rely on.
Can this happen while the property is listed?
Often yes. Quantifying cost-to-cure up front lets a sale move on defensible numbers.
Are there incentives?
Florida's Brownfields program can offer regulatory and financial incentives where a site qualifies.
