Linebach Funkhouser, Inc. (LFI), a professional environmental
firm based in Louisville, Kentucky, has been an Advocate Level
Member of the Kentucky Excellence in Environmental Leadership (KY
EXCEL) program since 2009. A key component of the KY EXCEL
program is the completion of voluntary environmental projects by
its members. In accordance with this goal, LFI has been proud
to offer a series of seminars to encourage positive environmental
stewardship through education.
LFI conducted a series of seven half-day environmental workshops
during 2009 and 2010 in the Kentucky cities of Mayfield, Lexington,
Louisville, Owensboro, Bowling Green, Florence, and Jeffersonville,
Indiana. Approximately 50 people attended the
workshops entitled "Basics of Assessing & Remediating
Environmentally Affected Property - What Non-Technical Decision
Makers Should Know". The workshops were specifically
designed to provide the decision makers involved in acquiring,
developing, and managing environmentally affected properties with a
working knowledge and understanding of technical environmental
components associated with affected properties. Information
was provided on Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
and remediation options in a simple and straight-forward manner to
give non-technical professionals the proper tools to make informed
decisions.
The workshops included presentations by staff members from the
Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection's Brownfields
Program. They provided information on the basics of
Brownfields as well as information on funding mechanisms in-place
to encourage property redevelopment.
Established in March of 2002, LFI's full-time staff of 18
professionals routinely provide expertise on a wide range of
projects throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico. By carefully managing our client base and workload, LFI
senior personnel stay directly involved in the oversight of each
project so that clients receive personalized attention from highly
experienced professionals. LFI's diversified staff includes
experts in regulatory negotiation, environmental permitting and
compliance, remediation, and Brownfields redevelopment. LFI
is also very flexible in establishing workable contractual
conditions and providing prompt responses to meet tight
schedules.
