Environmental Regulatory Compliance Consulting

Environmental assessment and remediation must comply with state and federal regulations.

State and Federal EPA Evaluation of Chemical Spills and other Violations

In most Midwestern states, companies are required to comply with the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and/or more stringent environmental regulations specific to the state where you are located. Over the past two decades, good management practices have resulted in fewer accidental releases and spills of industrial chemicals. However, even with strict management policies in place, accidental spills and releases occasionally do happen. Regulatory agencies have strict requirements for dealing with these types of situations, including legal enforcement actions, reporting requirements and investigation and cleanup guidelines. This may include the evaluation and modification of any facilities and operations related to the site and/or evaluation of the potential impacts the release of chemicals may have on human health and the environment. PFAS are a group of human-made chemical contaminants that are used commonly in consumer products worldwide. Adverse health effects result from soil and water contamination by PFAS.
