From Green to Brown and Back

Having to deal with environmental issues at your property is not all doom and gloom, and the IEPA and other agencies are really not your enemy. Agencies like the IEPA have set up great programs from which to navigate the uncertainties of environmental risk, during the normal course of any real estate due diligence process.

With programs like the voluntary site remediation program and leaking underground storage tank program the IEPA have made it easy to get your site clean.

OK... it will cost a few bucks, however if your site is contaminated its better to cost a few bucks that millions. Where once the typical protocol was a long drawn out cleanup process, often sites these days only need to be capped with concrete or clean soil for a site to be considered safe to human health and the environment.
