The former Reliance Battery Factory in Council Bluffs was in operation from circa 1928 through 2019. The property, surrounded by single family residential housing, was used for manufacturing, repairing, and reconditioning lead acid batteries. With the intent to see the property reused in some fashion, the City hired Impact7G to complete a Site Investigation and Characterization Report to characterize the extent of chemicals from contaminants of concern and to better understand remedial needs.

Impact7G worked with the City to complete an analysis of brownfield cleanup alternatives and a soil management plan to address environmental conditions at the site. The remedial planning will meet cleanup objectives associated with potential reuse of the site. Impact7G also completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) inspection, a hazardous materials inventory, and assisted with asbestos abatement specifications.
