Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. (EKI) services

EKI has assisted public, private-sector, and non-profit clients with acquisition and redevelopment of environmentally impaired properties or brownfields. EKI has devised remedial strategies that have allowed reuse of such properties as former canneries, oil refineries, foundries, military facilities, manufactured gas plants, federal Superfund sites, bulk fuel storage facilities, and petrochemical manufacturing operations.

EKI conducts environmental assessments and compliance audits tailored to meet the needs of our clients nationwide and throughout the world.  Environmental assessments range from screening evaluations that identify the potential magnitude of environmental liabilities associated with properties under consideration to formal studies that conform to ASTM E1527 Phase I environmental due diligence standards for prospective purchasers of contaminated properties.  Depending upon our client’s objectives, the compliance audit may be limited to comparing facility operations with audit criteria (e.g., environmental regulations, polices, and commonly accepted practices) or expanded to incorporate recommendations for corrective actions.

In support of the entitlement and environmental review processes for brownfields development, EKI provides comprehensive planning and design services for projects’ water demand, water supply, and water and wastewaster treatment components.  Specifically, EKI has experience developing defensible water demand estimates for proposed new developments that accurately reflect the proposed land plan and the level of water efficiency that is anticipated as part of the development project.  EKI also has extensive experience evaluating project water supply options and reliability in the context of the SB 610 Water Supply Assessment framework, and conducting planning-level designs of water, wastewater, and recycled water treatment facilities and distribution/collection systems.  We provide strategic and technical support to our clients in dealing with the public and the permitting and regulatory agencies on all water-related issues.
