DWC first worked to stabilize the property, shoring up tenant attrition, reducing costs, and installing proper property management. DWC retained and worked closely with environmental remediation professionals to develop a remediation plan for the PCE contamination. A remediation plan for operating a Soil Vapor Extraction unit (SVE Unit) to continually remove PCE from the soil was implemented. Further, DWC had various monitoring wells and soil gas monitors installed throughout the property to monitor contamination levels and ensure ground water was not contaminated. All efforts were done in close coordination with and approval from the regulatory Water Board.

Tenant leasing at the center was stabilized and, after two-years of work, DWC was able to get the environmental remediation to a status where the noteholder was comfortable with foreclosing on the property..
