500 Homes And Stores To Be Built On Denver Landfill

September 8, 2009 - A former “Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Site”– labeled as such in Air Force Installation Documents – will become home to International Risk Group’s (IRG) upcoming Lowry Vista housing and retail development.

IRG, a Littleton-based corporation with multiple subsidiaries, deals in the remediation and redevelopment of “brownfields,” an Environmental Protection Agency term for land “with the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.”

“We’re pursuing a General Development Plan (GDP) on the site,” says Marcus Pachner of The Pachner Company, an IRG consultant. “We just re-submitted the second GDP about three months ago and in early October we’ll start the rezoning process. It’s full speed ahead now.”
