Borrego Springs had an incredible super bloom this spring.The Salton Sea area has an air pollution problem from chemical spraying from nearby farms and the town surrounding the sea is very run down.

However, my point is that the Micron effect has already begun, contractors, architects, environmental etc have started descending on the area, and need land/warehousing/temp housing, especially since Micron has shrunk it's timeline for the first 2 fabs to four years, to open in 2029, due to Intel and Taiwan getting more aggressive. 

Dewey and Mayer - property values there are a low for a reason - pollution from mining - EPA has investigated (https://response.epa.gov/site/...) and I have spoken with several residents who were told by the EPA to not allow their dog or children to play outside in the dirt due to high levels of arsenic. 

They will like the local sourced idea and energy/environmental design even if it seems dumb.

Think of environmental swift change, tornado, flooding, fire, fixed rental rate verses varied rental rates.

Mold damage in Florida is considered Environmental Hazardous.

For example, I've seen where a hobbyist investor/developer works on project, they hire an engineer and/or architect, but they ended up missing something vital, i.e. drainage issues, environmental, fire dept review, planning the wrong type of product for that market (buyer & renter demographic), etc.

I would definitely contact a local civil engineer or environmental engineering firm. 

This particular transaction not only included preparation of loan docs but also  review of subdivisions, deeds, permits, environmental reports, easements etc. 

@Daniel Kern Bayhill Environmental is who I use.
