ABOUT


Merritt Environmental Consulting Corporation (MECC) was formed in June of 2009, under the direction of Chuck Merritt who has been assisting lending institutions, insurance companies, attorneys, property owners and real estate investors for over two (2) decades. Our primary service is determining if environmental issues exist at a property.

MECC provides a written assessment of the property utilizing historical maps, database reports and experienced personnel to conduct the site Reconnaissance. Our staff has represented clients on commercial real estate, including industrial sites, multi-family buildings, professional office complexes and retail shopping centers.

Chuck Merritt, President, is a recognized expert in the field of environmental consulting and the
