RESPEC PROJECT

RESPEC, a leading environmental services company, is proud to announce its significant contribution to the revitalization of the Green Knight Industrial Park. Through its comprehensive environmental investigation and solid waste services, RESPEC played a pivotal role in transforming the once-blighted property into a thriving industrial hub.

“We are thrilled to have been part of the Green Knight Industrial Park revitalization project,” said Scott Campbell, P.G., Environmental Sector Director at RESPEC. “Our commitment to environmental stewardship and community development aligns perfectly with this project’s goals. We are proud to have played a role in transforming this site into a valuable asset for the region.”

The Green Knight Industrial Park presented a complex environmental challenge, requiring a specialized approach to address both environmental and solid waste issues.

RESPEC’ expert team of environmental scientists and geologists completed an initial Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) to assess the site and provide recommendations for future site investigation and remediation activities.

Then, working with the Green Knight Economic Development Corporation and LVEDC, follow up actions included productive communications with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) – Northeast Regional Office personnel, and the completion of the PADEP Land Recycling (Act 2) process.

In addition, RESPEC successfully addressed solid waste issues regarding the presence of undesirable fill materials.

The first lot was developed in 2024 and is being used for commercial purposes. Many of the remaining lots were sold to a developer.
