Superfund Site Acquisition Support

Roux represents a confidential major developer client with the management of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) Superfund Site, historically found to be contaminating the public water supply. Roux became involved with the project in 2021 when our client began considering the purchase of the property. Roux provided environmental support throughout the client’s due diligence and purchase negotiations, culminating in their purchase of the property in 2023. Pre-acquisition environmental services included due diligence support, as well as the development and costing of a remediation approach that was in line with the EPA site goals and client's desired timeline. Post-acquisition services have included developing and implementing a site characterization sampling program to update the conceptual site model, identifying a preferred remedy based on the updated site characterization data, and preparing a remedial action plan for the Site. In addition to the Superfund Site, a portion of the Site is managed by MassDEP under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, for which Roux provides Licensed Site Professional services.
