Remediation and risk assessment

Transforming post-industrial and contaminated properties into usable sites is an important component of community revitalization. Site remediation can restore contaminated properties for beneficial and productive uses, often while repurposing existing infrastructure.

Downstream Strategies offers specialized remediation services to help communities prepare sites for redevelopment.

Our experienced technical staff provide important cleanup and assessment services to help remove pollutant sources and create sites suitable for development. We have a seasoned West Virginia Licensed Remediation Specialist (LRS) on staff that is experienced with regulatory programs throughout the mid-Atlantic region.

We have extensive experience securing federal Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Grants. We also work with communities to redevelop brownfields into productive properties.

We provide services supporting clients engaged in West Virginia’s Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP). The VRP provides a flexible regulatory framework designed to encourage companies, communities, and other stakeholders to proactively clean up sites impacted by historical pollution. Benefits of the program include flexible cleanup standards, based on site-specific conditions and future land uses, and liability protections for entities conducting the cleanup.

Former Hazel-Atlas Glass site: Brownfields Cleanup Initiative

Downstream Strategies is supporting the West Virginia Land Stewardship Corporation and community partner Unleash Tygart in redeveloping the former Hazel-Atlas Glass site, a key Tygart Valley River property in Grafton, West Virginia. With support from a 2025 U.S. EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant, Downstream Strategies is providing Licensed Remediation Specialist services, reuse planning, and construction project management to address legacy contamination and prepare the site for reuse. The project envisions transforming the former industrial property into a hub for outdoor recreation and river access that advances Grafton’s broader riverfront revitalization strategy.
