Lakeshore Environmental, Inc. (LEI) assisted with the due diligence of a property consisting of several parcels totaling approximately 160 acres of vacant land located within the Pentwater Oil Field in Pentwater Township. LEI completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on the property which led to the identification of several recognized environmental conditions (RECs) related to former oil exploration and/or extraction activities. A Phase II ESA was completed which identified the presence of hazardous substances at levels above the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Part 201 Cleanup Criteria. Therefore, LEI completed a Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) on behalf of the client for submittal to the EGLE. Documentation of Due Care Compliance, which demonstrates compliance with applicable due care obligations, was also prepared. The environmental services rendered will protect the client from cleanup liability relating to the known contamination and ensure compliance with applicable due care and continuing obligations.
