ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE & AUDITS

JBR has been preparing environmental due diligence and compliance audits  for more than 15 years. We have completed audits on properties ranging in size from less than one acre to more than 10,000 acres, and facilities ranging from large, complex industrial facilities to largely undeveloped tracts of land.

Our environmental due diligence and compliance audits are designed to provide the client with the information necessary to understand potential liability and associated remediation and cleanup responsibilities prior to property acquisition or other transactions. Our goal is to give our clients the information they need to make sound business decisions for regulatory compliance at existing operations.

Reasons for environmental audits include:

• Corporate mergers
• Internal facility risk assessment
• Property acquisition or divestiture
• Refinancing
• Real estate development, commercial and industrial projects
• Facility closure
• Bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings

JBR's audit staff understands local, state, and federal regulations and compliance requirements, can quickly assess environmental conditions of properties, evaluate potential liabilities and long-term commitments, and can provide a client with an estimated cost for remediation and closure.

Types of facilities audited by JBR:

• Retail stores, offices, apartments, warehouses, manufacturing facilities
• Ranches and farms
• Mines and mineral processing facilities
• Mineral and oil/gas leases
• Oil/gas production facilities
• Petroleum refineries and bulk storage facilities
• Thermal, hydro, and geothermal power plants
• Waste treatment, storage, disposal, and recycling facilities
• Pipelines
• Railroads
