Condor recognizes that delivering high-quality education depends on well-planned, safe, and compliant school facilities. For new campuses and schools undergoing renovation or expansion, Condor provides specialized environmental expertise to support these critical projects.
Our team of experienced professionals and certified technicians partners with school districts from early planning through project completion. Condor’s services include initial site environmental investigations, environmental evaluations, regulatory support throughout the planning and approval process, and final inspection services required for new or expanded school sites in accordance with current California laws and regulations.
Beyond project work, Condor remains committed to supporting education through ongoing contributions to the Partners in Education Program and participation in local school initiatives.
Phase I ESAs – Condor conducts site-specific Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) in accordance with the latest federal and ASTM Standards for environmental due diligence. We also address California Department of Education and specific Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) requirements to streamline the ESA process.
Preliminary Environmental Assessment – Should a Phase I ESA or review by the DTSC indicate that a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) is required, Condor assists through the entire process — from application preparation, DTSC negotiation, work plan, sampling program, analysis, and risk assessment, to final reporting. As necessary, Condor also performs additional investigations and cleanup or mitigation activities until the school site receives regulatory approval. Our environmental professionals have decades of experience with many different types of sites that can ease and expedite the approval process. This includes coordination with regulatory agencies, analytical laboratories, and professional toxicologists.
School Site Contaminant Remediation — Whether contamination of soil or groundwater is discovered during the site acquisition process or at existing school sites, Condor has the experience to clean it up. Condor has assisted school districts with remediation of historical underground storage tank leaks, and has successfully gained regulatory closure for our clients. Condor has conducted Removal Actions for four new school sites with a variety of contaminants of concern. Regardless of the types of contaminants, Condor ’s environmental and engineering professionals work together to find economical and efficient solutions for our clients.
