In Southern Nevada, these sites often include former commercial or industrial properties where past activities may have left behind contaminants such as petroleum, solvents, asbestos, or lead‑based paint. Many remain underused because owners lack clear information about environmental risks or the resources to address them. Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are the standard tools used to understand a property’s environmental conditions. Through historical research, site inspections, and—when needed—sampling, ESAs help determine whether cleanup or mitigation is necessary. Local brownfield programs strengthen this work by offering free assistance with “environmental site assessments including asbestos and lead paint” and by helping property owners plan for cleanup and evaluate reuse options.
