Areas of environmental and geologic studies/assessments cover many states including Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Ohio.

Mr. Vance has developed particular expertise in evaluation of properties for environmental concerns relative to proposed right-of-way acquisitions for road construction. These assessments range from investigations of a few properties for upgrading of an intersection to evaluation of multiple properties for road widening or establishing new roadway alignments along project corridors, several miles in length. The scope of these projects includes a working knowledge of road construction design plans, evaluating potential risks to construction workers and determining potential liabilities to the purchaser for acquiring contaminated properties.
