Environmental Services, Midpeninsula Open Space District

For over 10 years, Northgate has provided a range of environmental services to the Midpeninsula Open Space District including Phase I ESAs and Phase II Investigations in support of property acquisitions, as well as risk assessment, remediation planning and regulatory negotiations. Historical uses of many of the District’s properties included agricultural, mining, rural farming, mineral resources and military facilities. On a number of these properties, Northgate identified and quantified residual environmental liabilities and assisted in resolving the issues in a manner compatible with future use of open space preservation. A specific project example includes Northgate managing Phase I ESAs and Phase II Soil and Groundwater Investigations, as well as asbestos and lead paint investigations at the Former Almaden Air Force Station at Mt. Umunhum, Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
