  Developer Portfolio Site Assessments

  Orange and Los Angeles Counties, California

  Northgate performed environmental site assessment and investigation services for a large developer to evaluate 3,200 acres of land for potential redevelopment in unincorporated Orange and Los Angeles Counties that historically operated as an active oil field with active oil production operations since the 1880s. The property contained multiple active and inactive or closed oil wells, roadways, and associated surface equipment and buildings.  The remainder of the property not utilized for oil production had been occupied by nursery operations, beekeeping activities, and livestock grazing. Northgate conducted an initial environmental site assessment to evaluate the historic operations of the property and identify any potential environmental concerns. Concurrent with this assessment, Northgate also conducted investigation scoping efforts for each identified environmental concern to streamline the evaluation and minimize costs. Based on responsiveness to the client, product deliverables, and overall approach, Northgate continues to conduct environmental assessment projects for this client.

  Northgate performed 85 Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) under a multi-year environmental service contract. These assessments supported the District’s Coyote Creek Flood Protection Project. We designed engineered solutions to protect local communities along a 10-mile stretch of Coyote Creek in San Jose, which experienced massive flooding. Northgate conducted ESAs for properties affected by potential engineering solutions, including flood wall construction, channel widening, property elevation changes, property acquisition for flood detention, and other solutions. The properties included residential parcels, city parks, schools, commercial business parks, large industrial properties, and closed landfill areas.
