Every site has
a path forward.
Practical, informed guidance from active response through long-term stewardship — helping property owners manage impacts, maintain compliance, and move sites toward a defensible outcome.
Corrective Action addresses contamination through response measures designed to protect human health, restore site function, and support regulatory closure — without losing sight of practical site use.
Once environmental impacts are confirmed, focus eventually shifts from investigation to response. Dunecrest helps evaluate the applicable exposure pathways, cleanup criteria, project constraints, and long-term obligations so the path forward is technically sound, appropriately scoped, and aligned with Michigan regulatory expectations.
Remediation
& Response Measures
Once environmental impacts are confirmed, the project focus often shifts from investigation to response. Corrective Action, including remediation, addresses contamination through strategies designed to protect human health, restore site function, and support regulatory closure.
Dunecrest develops and implements site-specific solutions that balance effectiveness, cost, constructability, and long-term stewardship. Each project considers relevant or potentially relevant exposure scenarios, applicable cleanup criteria, property use, redevelopment plans, and the practical limits of the available data.
Remedial support may include feasibility studies, remedial alternatives analysis, remedy selection, design coordination, implementation oversight, confirmation sampling, performance monitoring, optimization, closure documentation, and EGLE coordination.
Land Use
& Resource Restrictions
Corrective Action does not always mean removing all contamination. When residual impacts remain in place, land use and resource restrictions can help ensure the property remains protective of human health and the environment over time.
These controls may include institutional controls, engineering controls, restrictive covenants, land use restriction affidavits, groundwater use limitations, vapor mitigation systems, caps, containment systems, or inspection and maintenance requirements.
Dunecrest assists property owners and responsible parties in developing, documenting, and maintaining these controls in a way that aligns with Michigan Due Care obligations, site use, and long-term stewardship needs.
Long-Term Monitoring
& Stewardship
Some sites require ongoing monitoring, inspection, maintenance, and reporting after the initial response action is complete. Long-term stewardship helps confirm that the selected remedy remains protective and that ongoing obligations are being met.
Dunecrest supports monitoring programs, inspection schedules, operation and maintenance documentation, periodic reporting, and practical tracking systems for properties where contamination remains subject to engineering controls, institutional controls, or Due Care requirements.
The goal is to make ongoing obligations clear, manageable, and durable so future owners, operators, lenders, contractors, and regulators can understand what was done and what still applies.
Closure Documentation
& Agency Coordination
Corrective Action work needs to be documented clearly enough that the environmental record can support the next decision. Dunecrest prepares technical summaries, figures, tables, sampling documentation, response-action narratives, and closure-support materials that explain what was completed and what remains.
Depending on the site, documentation may support EGLE communication, local agency coordination, lender questions, purchaser diligence, owner/operator obligations, closure discussions, or future corrective action planning.
Closure outcomes depend on site conditions, data quality, exposure pathways, applicable criteria, and regulatory requirements. Dunecrest helps identify the appropriate pathway and coordinate with the broader project team so the record is clear, practical, and defensible.
