Project Background & Challenges
Georgia Pacific (GP) negotiated a purchase and sale agreement
to transfer 137 acres of industrial waterfront property to the Port of
Bellingham. Because of the nature of the operations conducted at this
site, the agreement mandated a comprehensive, pre-transfer evaluation
of environmental conditions.
Solution
Aspect helped GP complete a Phase I/ Phase II evaluation of
potential environmental liabilities associated with upland areas that were
not already addressed under formal regulatory agreements. Specific activities
included reviewing historical files and aerial photographs, interviewing employees,
developing a work plan for soil and groundwater quality sampling, and expediting
this work plan. Our successful implementation allowed GP to transfer the property
under the tight time frame prescribed in the purchase and sale agreement.
