Environmental Engineering Services to Perform Brownfield Assessments & Redevelopment Planning

Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency (HCIDA) will utilize the EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant to revitalize severe industrial blight across strategic target areas in the County of Herkimer. Following decades of manufacturing decline, population loss, and economic disinvestment, the region is left with hundreds of aging, contaminated, and structurally compromised facilities that pose serious public health risks to its sensitive local population, including elevated rates of lead exposure, asthma, and chronic disease. To combat this, the HCIDA has identified several high-priority waterfront and downtown sites for intensive environmental evaluation and strategic reuse. The EPA has awarded the Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency a brownfields assessment grant for environmental investigations and remedial planning activities. The grant activities are separated into and will be performed in four tasks as follows: 1. Select sites for environmental characterizations; 2. Conduct community outreach; 3. Perform site assessments; and 4. Prepare written reports regarding the environmental characterizations.
