Brownfield Braintrust Dry Cleaner Podcast No. 1

This will be the first of several Brownfield Braintrust Podcasts addressing dry cleaners, the leading source of environmental liabilities at commercial retail properties. We provide some background on the impact of dry cleaner contamination on their surrounding environments, including statistics on contaminant migration and remediation costs. Additionally, this episode discusses how Winefield & Associates conducts due diligence when buying facilities with dry cleaners. We conclude by introducing how the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) will be spearheading dry cleaner assessments statewide with support from a $500 million grant.
