Agency Liaison and Expert Witness Services
Complying with the broad array of environmental and health & safety (EHS) laws and regulations is complex and, at times, confusing. Therefore, interaction with regulatory agencies is sometimes necessary. Some instances where interaction may be necessary include:
Agency Meetings
- Project discussions, buy-ins and regulation interpretations
Agency Approvals
- Remedial investigations, cleanups and permitting
Environmental Reporting
- CERCLA, SARA, EPCRA, TSCA, CAA, ISRA, RCRA, NPDES, and SPCC
Agency Inspections
- Inspection participation, providing technical assistance and guidance, and post-inspection follow-up
Notice of Violations, Memorandum of Agreements and Citations
- Violation clarification, negotiating fines and abatement timelines and methods, and conducting informal and formal conferences
In addition to the above, companies for many different reasons may find themselves as a plaintiff or defendant in an EHS matter. In these cases, an expert witness qualified in the scientific, technical and regulatory issue at hand may be necessary to testify on your behalf.
