Ryan Transactional Risk launches environmental cost overrun insurance
Ryan Transactional Risk has introduced a new insurance product to cover the risk of cost overruns in environmental remediation and clean-up efforts. Named Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro (RTR Enviro), the product offers environmental remediation cost overrun insurance tailored for corporate transactions, divestitures, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and real estate development projects. The insurance aims to eliminate or minimise the risk of cost overruns during the remediation of known environmental contaminants, the company said. RTR Enviro utilises a remediation excess policy form combined with a defined-scope agreement to provide coverage for potential cost overruns. Ryan Transactional Risk CEO Rich Stansfield said: 'Central to Ryan Transactional Risk's belief in innovation, Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro is representative of RTR's steadfast commitment to delivering transformative products to our valued clients. 'It is a powerful addition to our suite of transactional liability products that will further differentiate the RTR brand. We look forward to the positive impact it will have for our clients.' RTR Enviro is now open for business with brokers and agencies across the US, both at a global and regional level. The underwriting team for this new product includes RTR Enviro director Cole Russo, who added: 'Ryan Transactional Risk Enviro is the leader in providing environmental remediation cost overrun insurance. We are bringing back a new and improved version of Environmental 'Cost Cap' insurance that has not been in the market for over 15 years.' Earlier this month, Ryan Specialty agreed to acquire JM Wilson, an insurance company based in Michigan. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approval, will see JM Wilson's operations become part of the RT Binding Authority specialty division of Ryan Specialty.

City of Galesburg earns $1 million-plus in EPA grants
The City of Galesburg has announced it has been selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to receive two Brownfield Grants totaling $1,213,600, according to a news release. The awards include a $500,000 Assessment Grant and a $713,600 Cleanup Grant through the EPA Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization. These funds will help address the environmental impacts of historically contaminated properties, paving the way for community revitalization and economic development. The city has been notified of the awards and is now working to submit all required documentation. It is anticipated that the project period for both grants will be Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2029, although the entire time frame may not be required for project completion. Cleanup Grant: Remediation of the Former Knox Laundry Site The $713,600 Cleanup Grant will support environmental remediation efforts at the former Knox Laundry site, located at the property previously known as 57 N. Kellogg St./332 E. Ferris St. Operated as a retail laundry since 1898 and later expanded into a multi-story dry-cleaning facility, the property was vacated and condemned due to its deteriorated condition and ultimately demolished by court order in 2006–2007. Terminating the business operations and removing former structures has stopped the potential for any continuing releases of contamination into our environment, but until the site is fully remediated, the potential for redevelopment is very limited. The city plans to use grant funds to address remaining contamination, specifically targeting soils impacted above saturation limits. The project will include treatment of affected areas and installation of an engineered barrier, such as pavement, to safely limit potential exposure and prepare the site for future redevelopment. Assessment Grant: Evaluating Brownfield Sites for Redevelopment The $500,000 Assessment Grant will be used to evaluate and plan for the safe reuse of properties with suspected contamination. Key sites identified for initial assessment include: Former Broadview Hotel (29 Public Square): Demolished by court order because of safety violations, this property hosted various businesses, including a filling station dating back to 1927. Former Tucker's Printing Company (175, 179, 193 N. Cherry St.): Recently demolished in 2024 after a second major fire, the site has a long industrial history that raises environmental concerns. Pending available funding, additional priority sites will be selected from a Brownfields Inventory developed in 2023 by Kansas State University's Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) program and environmental consultants at Terracon. A Step Toward a Safer, Stronger Community 'We are honored by the EPA's selection and grateful for their support in helping us turn these underutilized properties into assets for the community,' said Steve Gugliotta, director of community development. 'These grants will help improve environmental safety, promote redevelopment, and attract future investment to our city.' In addition to funding, the city will benefit from ongoing EPA technical assistance throughout the project period. The Assessment Grant will support efforts to identify and evaluate hazardous materials, while the Cleanup Grant will directly support the mitigation of contaminants and site improvements—ultimately fostering new development opportunities and enhancing public health.
