Ninyo & Moore services

Clients turn to Ninyo & Moore environmental consultants for innovative solutions to complex environmental challenges. As a leading environmental sciences and engineering consulting firm, we are fully committed to being responsible, cost-efficient, and thorough in meeting our clients` project needs and objectives.

Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-utilized industrial or commercial properties where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. State, county, and local authorities recognize that restoring these Brownfields to economically viable properties benefits the local communities by creating jobs, improving further development potential, and increasing the local tax base.

Ninyo & Moore has extensive experience providing litigation and expert witness services.  Our senior credentialed professional engineers, geologists, engineering geologists, hydrogeologists, industrial hygienists, and scientists have participated in technical studies to formulate pertinent conclusions and recommendations.  On the basis of their experience and work on specific matters, our experts provide reports, depositions and testimony in court and in settlement proceedings to assist counsel.

Phase I ESAs are routinely performed as part of ownership transfer or loan application for business properties.  Ninyo & Moore professionals have performed numerous Phase I ESAs throughout the United States for major lenders, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), corporate real estate departments, portfolio managers, public agencies, redevelopment agencies, general services departments, and broker and attorney representatives. The scope of services for a Phase I ESA is consistent with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) No. E1527, and the USEPA All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) standards.
