We like to get things done. We understand that nobody wants to stand in the way of productive land use. If there are health risks, we use cutting edge technology to mitigate them. If there are regulatory obstacles, we work with agencies to find creative ways to overcome them. If there are funding issues, we identify grant and/or loan opportunities.

Our professionals are recognized as industry experts, and often lecture at national and state conferences on all aspects of Brownfield assessment, remediation and development. We provide solutions. Our Ohio EPA VAP Certified Professional is Atul Pandey, P.E. He has been certified by the Ohio EPA since 1999 and has issued 26 No Further Action (NFA) Letters, all of which have received a Covenant Not to Sue (CNS) from the Ohio EPA. Prior to forming PANDEY, he worked at the Ohio EPA Voluntary Action Program Division.

PANDEY was the winner of the Phoenix Award for the Gowdy Field Project; the Oscars of Brownfield redevelopment. In addition, Ohio's former governor referred to the Former AC Humko project as the "Poster Child" for public/private participation. Ohio's Director of Urban Development referenced another project as "the benchmark for aggressive deadlines." Our Brownfield projects have been profiled by The National Brownfields Association, the Ohio EPA and Ohio Department of Development.

PANDEY efficiently and effectively identifies the risk of contamination, presence of contamination and extent of contamination. Throughout this process, we work closely with our clients to understand and meet their individual needs, and to explain risk from both a regulatory and business standpoint.

Phased Site Assessment services are our core planning tool and are integral to identifying potential environmental hazards. An accurate, complete and thorough assessment provides the necessary information to determine the most cost effective and efficient remedy for known contamination, or potential future liabilities on a property you wish to purchase.

Our thoroughness in assessing risk, identifying options, and communicating with our clients sets us apart from our competition. To date, we have performed xxx’s of Phase I Environmental Assessments and xxx’s of Phase II Environmental Assessments.

PANDEY's reputation has made us the winning contender for remediation projects of all sizes and complexity. As a rule, we attract clients with the most complex and multi-faceted environmental remediation needs.

We excel by serving the best interest of our clients. This is particularly evident in choosing appropriate corrective action and remediation strategies. We provide engineering services ranging from simple residential to highly complex industrial properties, designing each project to meet the specific needs of our clients and applicable regulations. PANDEY's size coupled with our technical experience, and reputation in the industry, gives us the ability to assemble diverse teams and technologies, which allows us to rapidly respond to each client's unique circumstances and provide them with "best-in-class" solutions.

Our experience includes multiple bench scale and pilot scale treatability studies on innovative technologies for soil and/or groundwater remediation. We have investigated and designed remediation systems for former landfills, RCRA facilities, aboveground and underground storage tank sites, and industrial facilities. We maintain consistent oversight for all remediation activities to ensure a high level of quality throughout assessment and remediation.

Whether you need to conduct routine monitoring and statistical analyses, or wish to build a multistory office building on a closed landfill, we have the proven knowledge, expertise and experience you need.

The demand for well situated real estate in expanding cities continues to grow. With proper assessment and risk mitigation, former landfills can become valued assets. PANDEY is at the forefront of this field. We received the first Covenant Not to Sue for a former landfill property in the State of Ohio. A representative of our Firm was also selected by Ohio EPA to represent all Ohio EPA Certified Professionals (Brownfield Licensed Professionals) to the Hazardous Waste Division of the Ohio EPA in an effort to coordinate Brownfield and Solid Waste regulations.

You have the land, the vision, and community support. But still, the site sits vacant because of potential environmental liabilities.

These situations are both frustrating and unnecessary. Funding to offset environmental cleanup cost is available from many sources if you know where to look and how to navigate the intricacies of each funding opportunity. The funding may come in the form of grants, loans and/or tax incentives.

With PANDEY's programmatic understanding, we can ensure every issue is addressed and no option is overlooked in the funding of your project. We have successfully obtained the maximum funds for every grant application we prepared, helping our clients secure nearly $27 million in vital redevelopment funding to date. Major funding sources include the Clean Ohio Assistance Fund, the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, the Industrial Site Improvement Fund, the Ohio Department of Development Discretionary Fund, the US EPA Brownfield Fund, Green Columbus Fund, and the Ohio Water Development Authority.

Our team consists of recognized experts in environmental fate and transport modeling, probability, statistics, biology, and risk-based financial analysis. The President of PANDEY served as chairman and technical advisor of the Fate and Transport Modeling Group, Ohio EPA subcommittee on development of generic standards, Senate Bill 221, Ohio's Voluntary Action Program from 1994 through 1996. He was also a member of the Phase II/ Groundwater Workgroup for the Wave 2 Rule Revision in 2002.

In addition, we have advised Ohio's Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) regarding acceptable risk-based practices for identification, assessment, and remediation of contamination from Underground Storage Tanks.

Many factors drive environmental risk. Chemical concentrations, toxicities, potential receptors, and pathways for migration and exposure must all be thoroughly assessed. Human health and ecological risk assessments drive environmental decision-making, liability management and financial risk analysis. PANDEY excels in developing innovative, regulatory compliant techniques to evaluate risks from environmental contamination in all media including soils, groundwater, sediments, and air.

From system design, to permitting, monitoring and reporting, PANDEY provides complete compliance support for soil gases, air and water discharges. We work with clients to reduce the impact and cost of discharges, and provide assistance in communications and negotiations with regulatory agencies.

Whether you need to demonstrate compliance, assess a release at your facility, wish to setup shop in a former gas station, or want to build residences on an abandoned refinery, PANDEY makes it possible. Our team of experts have experience with all types and sizes of petroleum operations and releases; and we can help you cost effectively maintain compliance and mitigate liability.

PANDEY has advised Ohio's Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) regarding acceptable risk-based practices for identification, assessment, and remediation of contamination from Underground Storage Tanks. We routinely conduct BUSTR Closure, Tier I and Tier II Site Assessments as well as remediation under BUSTR regulations on former Underground Storage Tank sites.

PANDEY's High Vacuum Dual Phase Extraction (HVDPE) Trailer Unit with GAC Air Treatment.

The PANDEY HVDPE rental unit is capable of extracting from multiple points to provide effective remediation of VOCs in vadose zone soil (silty clays to tills) or bedrock (fractured and/or weakly cemented sandstone). Once extracted, the VOC-contaminated vapor stream is sent through an air/water separator to remove any liquid, prior to passing through the extraction pump. If a large amount of liquid generation is anticipated, a holding tank is also available. After exiting the pump, the VOC-contaminated vapor stream is cooled by an air-to-air heat exchanger then passes through a condensate tank before entering the granular activated carbon (GAC) vessel. The GAC vessel is staged outside of the trailer; therefore, multiple vessels may be utilized in series, if desired. After passing through the GAC vessel(s), the treated vapor stream is discharged to the atmosphere. During operation, totalized VOC concentrations prior to GAC treatment are measured and displayed through an in-line photoionization detector (PID). The extraction flow is also able to be viewed. An alarm transmittal and data acquisition system is incorporated into the unit which is capable of transmitting/storing system alarms and continuously logging influent PID readings, air flow, vacuum, and water volume pumped from the air/water separator.
