The Playa Vista site is the largest and most visible Brownfield development project in the country consisting of more than 1,100 acres of re-development at an estimated cost in excess of $10 Billion. This site was originally developed by the Hughes Tool Company in 1941 and is where the famed "Spruce Goose" was constructed.

Environmental issues pertaining to the site have consisted of wetland remediation and restoration, environmental soil characterization and remediation, and permit compliance.

Wetland restoration work has included the abandonment of several old oil wells located across the site and within designated wetland areas, construction of a riparian corridor, and restoration of a wetland habitat.

EEC has conducted numerous soil and groundwater investigations and remediation work across the site. Additional services provided by EEC have included environmental compliance services including air emissions monitoring, dewatering services, and NPDES permit monitoring and compliance

Redevelopment plans for the property include residential and commercials use areas, children's play areas, and restoration of a fresh water marsh and other natural habitats.
