Environmental Due Diligence Projects

eSPARC can assist your business with environmental due diligence assessments.  Our team integrates our extensive technical and operationally focused backgrounds to efficiently evaluate the environmental risks associated with a potential acquisition or investment opportunity.  Our technical diligence reports focus on the identification of impending permitting and regulatory requirements in all environmental media, which can result in otherwise unforeseen costs or legal issues for purchasers and lenders.  eSPARC has collaborated with dozens of operational, financial, and asset management firms to produce numerous technical due diligence projects.  Click on a project to learn more.
