We specialize in environmental due diligence to unlock safe and compliant development across New York City and Western New York.

We help identify risks, document conditions, and enable confident decisions—grounded in data, compliance, and clarity.

We perform Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, environmental impact studies, and wetland/ecological evaluations in accordance with EPA and New York State standards.
Our team is experienced in HUD environmental review protocols, NEPA, SEQR, and local Brownfield programs, ensuring that each assessment is thorough and compliant. We uncover potential environmental liabilities early in the process and provide defensible reports that guide clients through acquisition, permitting, or cleanup decisions.
With responsive service and regulatory insight, CORE delivers the confidence you need to move forward—fully informed of site conditions and obligations.
Our Site Assessment & Due Diligence Services.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
CORE conducts desktop reviews and on-site investigations to identify recognized environmental conditions prior to acquisition, financing, or redevelopment. Each assessment is performed in accordance with ASTM E1527 standards and supports lender, investor, or regulatory due diligence.
Phase II Subsurface Investigations
We perform targeted soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling to confirm the presence or absence of contamination identified in Phase I reports. Data from these investigations informs remediation needs, risk management strategies, and environmental compliance pathways.
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) & Reviews
CORE prepares comprehensive Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and technical reviews under NEPA, SEQR, and CEQR guidelines to evaluate potential project impacts. These studies support agency permitting, stakeholder coordination, and legally defensible project approvals.
Contaminated Soil & Fill Characterization
Our team provides detailed sampling and lab analysis of excavated soil and fill to determine contamination levels and classification for disposal or reuse. Accurate characterization prevents costly delays, ensures regulatory alignment, and supports construction timelines.
Brownfield (VCP) and E-Designation Investigations
We support redevelopment in NY by performing environmental investigations and preparing documentation required under the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) or E-Designation protocols. CORE helps you navigate the regulatory process, reduce cleanup liability, and unlock development potential.
Wetlands and Ecological Assessments
CORE conducts field-based wetland delineations, habitat surveys, and ecological reviews to support site planning and permitting. We help clients identify jurisdictional features early, minimize ecological impact, and avoid costly delays in project execution.
