Impact and Compensation Analyses

The Hughes & Associates team has both the training and the experience to perform comprehensive impact and compensation analyses. Past impact evaluation assignments include:

• electromagnetic frequency radiation (EMF) from communication towers and high voltage transmission lines (HVOTL)

• incompatible land uses such as landfill sites, aggregate operations, and major structures

• proximity of railroad corridors and major arterial routes

• easements and rights-of-way for pipelines, HVOTLs, and arterial routes

• temporary and permanent expropriation/condemnation, construction, and loss of access that cause property damage or business interruption

Such impacts can be functional, economic, environmental, social (health or life style), or aesthetic. Our well-documented reports provide a sound basis for negotiating settlements and compensation claims.
