Not only is Frank Zaccanelli am expert in real estate investment and is also concerned about the environment. When he took over the NBA Maverick’s, he also saw a great need to clean up some contaminated areas in the Dallas area. The process is called environmental remediation and involves the removal of pollution and contaminants from the soil, sediment, groundwater, or surface water. Areas near cities that suffer from this type of contamination require immediate action, because they can impact negatively on human health and the environment.
Unfortunately, remediation is normally not quickly handled by government agencies. It generally comes with an array of regulatory requirements, and is based on the assessment of human health and ecological risks. There are no legislated standards or advisable standards; so many times it’s up to private groups to pay for the process.
First, they must have someone assess the site. Once a site is suspected of being contaminated, the type of contamination must be determined. Often the assessment begins with preparation of a Phase I, which looks at the historical use of the site and the materials used. Then a sampling and chemical analysis can be done.
Frank Zaccanelli did many things to aid in the betterment of Dallas while presiding as the President of the NBA Mavericks. He worked to not only improve the program but also purchased 75 acres of environmentally contaminated land in Dallas, which he eventually turned into the American Airlines Center, and lively shopping district
