Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in Marlton Evesham, NJ
Marlton, within Evesham Township, sits within one of Burlington County’s most active commercial and redevelopment markets, positioned near Route 70, Route 73, Interstate 295, and the broader Philadelphia metropolitan area. Property owners, developers, contractors, municipalities, lenders, and counsel working across Evesham Township, Burlington County, and surrounding South Jersey communities rely on focused, locally informed environmental due diligence. Resource Renewal supports these projects through RCC’s ASTM E1527-21 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment scope, layered with NJDEP-compliant Preliminary Assessments to address both federal and New Jersey due diligence requirements.
Resource Renewal connects three service tracks under one platform: ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESAs and NJDEP Preliminary Assessments delivered by RCC; Phase II Site Investigations and Remedial Investigations when Recognized Environmental Conditions or Areas of Concern warrant further evaluation; and full remediation and brownfield redevelopment delivered with affiliated platform DSR. Project teams can coordinate with the NJDEP Site Remediation Program and pursue site closure under Licensed Site Remediation Professional oversight toward a Response Action Outcome where applicable.

Industrial and Commercial Heritage
Marlton, within Evesham Township, has evolved from an older agricultural and village-based community into one of Burlington County’s most established suburban commercial markets. Development intensified along Route 70 and Route 73, particularly around the former Marlton Circle, which became one of South Jersey’s most important commercial crossroads. Evesham Township’s planning documents have long focused on transforming aging highway-oriented commercial areas into more walkable, mixed-use centers while preserving and strengthening Marlton Village. The township has also historically contained industrially zoned and employment-oriented areas, including locations along Sharp Road and other established business corridors.
Current Environmental Profile
Evesham Township contains a mix of active commercial properties, older shopping centers, former service and industrial uses, petroleum-related sites, redevelopment parcels, and environmentally sensitive land. The township’s Environmental Resource Inventory documents multiple NJDEP-tracked sites in and around Marlton, including properties along Route 70 and Route 73 with historical remediation, spill, groundwater, or other environmental records. NJDEP also maintains statewide databases for contaminated sites, institutional controls, groundwater contamination areas, spills, and underground storage tank facilities, making parcel-level review important during environmental due diligence.
Real Estate and Development Market
Marlton and Evesham Township form one of Burlington County’s strongest commercial and redevelopment markets, with major activity concentrated along Route 70, Route 73, Main Street, and the former Marlton Circle area. Township planning has specifically targeted underutilized and outdated commercial properties around Routes 70 and 73 for reinvestment and mixed-use redevelopment, including the broader Evesham Crossroads concept. These conditions create opportunities for infill, adaptive reuse, commercial repositioning, and redevelopment of older properties. Environmental due diligence can be particularly important where historical retail, automotive, petroleum, service, industrial, or prior remediation activity may affect acquisition, financing, construction, or redevelopment plans.
Local Regulators, Authorities, and Stakeholders
Environmental projects in Marlton and Evesham Township can involve municipal, county, state, and federal entities depending on the property and scope of work. NJDEP’s Contaminated Site Remediation & Redevelopment Program administers New Jersey site-remediation requirements, with Licensed Site Remediation Professionals overseeing many investigations and cleanups. Local land-use and redevelopment reviews may also involve Evesham Township planning, zoning, engineering, and community-development officials, along with Burlington County agencies where applicable. EPA Region 2 may become involved where federal environmental jurisdiction applies. NJDEP’s Data Miner and contaminated-site mapping resources can also provide site-specific information on remediation status, areas of concern, impacted media, and regulatory history.
Why This Local Context Matters for Your Project
Marlton and Evesham Township are not uniform suburban environmental markets. Their mix of highway-oriented commercial development, older shopping centers, former service and industrial uses, petroleum-related properties, redevelopment sites, and environmentally sensitive areas can create materially different environmental risks from one parcel to another. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment should therefore consider historical commercial and industrial uses, underground and aboveground storage tanks, petroleum and automotive operations, Recognized Environmental Conditions, Areas of Concern, NJDEP case history, groundwater impacts, institutional controls, prior remediation, fill history, and nearby contaminated properties. Understanding a Marlton property’s history early can help determine whether an NJDEP Preliminary Assessment, Phase II Site Investigation, Remedial Investigation, remediation, or LSRP involvement may be appropriate before acquisition, financing, or redevelopment.

How Resource Renewal Serves Marlton , NJ
Investigation & Compliance (RCC Track)
The ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESA scope covers site reconnaissance, historical land-use review, regulatory database searches, agency file review, and key personnel interviews. For Marlton, Evesham Township, and Burlington County properties, RCC can pair the federal ASTM scope with an NJDEP-compliant Preliminary Assessment to address New Jersey-specific due diligence and ISRA considerations. When Recognized Environmental Conditions or Areas of Concern are identified, RCC can proceed into Phase II Site Investigation and, where warranted, Remedial Investigation, coordinating soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling, certified laboratory analysis, and data evaluation under NJDEP Site Remediation Program requirements. Documentation is structured to support NJDEP review, LSRP oversight, property transactions, financing, and regulatory closure.
Remediation & Redevelopment (DSR-Affiliated Track)
Remediation capabilities include in-situ chemical oxidation, bioremediation, soil vapor extraction, ex-situ excavation and disposal, groundwater pump-and-treat systems, permeable reactive barriers, sub-slab depressurization, and long-term operations, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M). For owners, investors, and developers working with environmentally impaired property in Marlton and Evesham Township, the DSR platform can support brownfield acquisition, environmental liability transfer, remediation, and redevelopment planning. This can be particularly relevant for former commercial and service properties, petroleum-use sites, older retail and office parcels, industrial properties, mixed-use redevelopment sites, and properties along Route 70, Route 73, Main Street, and other established Marlton and Evesham corridors, where environmental due diligence and redevelopment strategy may need to be coordinated from acquisition through remediation, regulatory closure, and final reuse.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Resource Renewal supports environmental due diligence, site investigation, remediation, regulatory compliance, and brownfield redevelopment projects in Marlton, throughout Evesham Township, and across Burlington County. RCC handles investigation and compliance services, while affiliated platform DSR supports remediation, environmental liability transfer, and redevelopment.
-
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment evaluates a property’s current and historical uses, regulatory records, site conditions, and surrounding properties to identify Recognized Environmental Conditions. ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESAs are commonly performed for commercial and industrial acquisitions, financing, refinancing, redevelopment, and other transactions where potential environmental liability needs to be evaluated. For New Jersey properties, RCC can also pair the ASTM scope with an NJDEP-compliant Preliminary Assessment when appropriate.
-
The timeline depends on the property’s size, complexity, historical uses, and the availability of regulatory and historical records. Straightforward commercial properties may move relatively quickly, while older retail, office, industrial, petroleum-use, service, or redevelopment sites may require additional research or agency file review. Resource Renewal can establish the expected schedule during project scoping.
-
A Recognized Environmental Condition does not automatically confirm contamination, but it may indicate that additional investigation is warranted. RCC can perform a Phase II Site Investigation using targeted soil, groundwater, and soil-vapor sampling. If contamination is confirmed, the project may advance into additional Site Investigation, Remedial Investigation, remediation, and regulatory closure under LSRP oversight.
-
Yes. Through affiliated platform DSR, Resource Renewal can support brownfield acquisition, environmental liability transfer, remediation, redevelopment planning, and repositioning of environmentally impaired properties. This can be particularly relevant for older commercial properties, former service or industrial sites, petroleum-use properties, mixed-use redevelopment parcels, and sites along the Route 70 and Route 73 corridors.
-
New Jersey’s site-remediation program relies on Licensed Site Remediation Professionals to oversee many contaminated-site investigations and cleanups. Depending on site conditions, the process may include a Preliminary Assessment, Site Investigation, Remedial Investigation, Remedial Action, and long-term monitoring or controls where required. Once applicable remediation requirements have been satisfied, an LSRP may issue a Response Action Outcome for the defined scope of remediation.
-
Marlton and Evesham Township contain a mix of highway-oriented commercial development, older shopping centers, office properties, petroleum-related sites, service uses, industrial properties, redevelopment parcels, and previously developed land. Properties along Route 70, Route 73, Main Street, and other established corridors can have very different historical uses and environmental conditions. A Phase I ESA helps buyers, lenders, developers, and property owners identify potential environmental liabilities before acquisition, financing, construction, or redevelopment and determine whether additional investigation may be warranted.
-
Resource Renewal’s Mount Holly headquarters demonstrates the company’s integrated approach to environmentally challenged real estate. The property progressed through environmental investigation, remediation, regulatory closure, and productive reuse before becoming an operating base for RCC and DSR. That experience reflects the same investigation, cleanup, regulatory, and redevelopment capabilities Resource Renewal can apply to projects in Marlton, Evesham Township, and Burlington County.
