Brownfields, often abandoned or underutilized sites with potential environmental contaminants, represent both challenges and opportunities for communities and businesses. Our Brownfield Technical Assistance services aim to turn these properties into assets through innovative solutions and expertise in environmental remediation, regulatory compliance, and sustainable redevelopment.
At EDS, we are proud to provide Technical Assistance for Brownfields (TAB) under New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) EPA (Region 2) contract. Our collaboration with NJIT brings together cutting-edge research, expert knowledge, and practical solutions to address the complexities of Brownfields remediation and redevelopment.
Free TAB services are available to government entities operating at the state, regional, county, tribal, and local levels, as well as nonprofit organizations within EPA Region 2.
