Detroit has just announced that it has additional grant funding for environmental assessments in the City.   But we need to act quickly, because they need your application submitted by next Wednesday (October 5th).   Once approved, we have until June 2017 to complete the assessment for you at no cost.   If you are even thinking of a new project in the City that might start over the next eight months, ASTI Environmental will complete your application for review.

August 31, 2016: ASTI Environmental is celebrating our 31st Anniversary !!  Since ASTI was founded by Tom Wackerman and Peter Collins on February 1, 1985, we have grown and diversified to provide Environmental Investigation, Remediation, Compliance and Restoration services to Industrial, Commercial, Institutional and Governmental clients across the US.  ASTIs 35 Associates represent more than 350 years of technical expertise with Wetlands, Hazardous Materials Management, Gap Financing, Plans and Permits, Asbestos, Lead Paint, Mold, Radon, Noise, Brownfields, Phase I/II/BEAs, Historic Architecture , Underground Storage Tanks, Storm Water, Exit Strategies, Incentives, Geology, Training, Forestry and Plant Decommissioning. 

Before an original provisional license may be issued for a center located in a building constructed prior to 1978, the Child Care Center applicant must submit a lead hazard risk assessment report indicating that the proposed child-use space, including outdoor play areas, is safe. 

Centers licensed before December 7, 2006 located in a building constructed prior to 1978 have until January 2, 2017 to obtain a lead hazard risk assessment.

Grand Rapids, MI, June 15, 2016:  ASTI Environmental has been selected to provide as-needed professional environmental services to the City of Grand Rapids.  This multi-year contract include investigation, sampling, remediation and/or risk management services related to: Air Quality, Asbestos-Containing Materials, Lead-Based Paint and pollution prevention.

Achieving and maintaining compliance with local, state and federal regulations can be an arduous process.  It’s important for facility managers to remember that parking lot runoff, parts cleaning processes, outdoor storage of raw materials, manufacturing scrap and  rejects, painting/printing/adhesive processes, chemicals used in manufacturing, vent hoods and booths, secondary containment and spill prevention systems are all subject to regulation.

For ASTI Environmental the renaissance in Detroit started in 1985 with our first project in the city, or rather under the city, in the Crystal Mines. Soon we completed our first Brownfield project for the former Stroh Headquarters on the Detroit River at Jos Campau. After successfully completing over 1,500 projects in the City, we are now expanding on that heritage by opening an office in the other former Stroh Brewing Company Headquarters, now known as the Grand Park Centre building.
