Assessment and Remediation

Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
     TechLaw has performed over 500 Phase I ESAs for a variety of clients, including developers and industrial companies. TechLaw’s ESAs are conducted in compliance with ASTM standards and include a regulatory and environmental records review, a historical records review, site reconnaissance, interviews with owners and operators, and evaluation and report preparation. Additional tasks include assessment for suspected asbestos-containing building materials and suspected lead-containing paint. We have also conducted Phase II ESAs with site sampling and expanded investigations.

Technical Oversight & Document Review
     TechLaw’s expertise assists developers and local entities in coordinating clean-up efforts at Brownfields sites. We help evaluate the remedial alternatives, including the potential for risk-based clean-up; review work plans submitted by remedial contractors; and conduct oversight of clean-up activities. We have conducted more than 325 RCRA corrective action and CERCLA remedial oversight projects, and provided reviews of technical documents, hydrogeological and geological analysis and field oversight support for nearly every aspect of the remedial process, from the review and development of sampling and analysis plans through 5-year reviews. We support EPA CERCLA and RCRA oversight activities at private and federal facilities; remedial and corrective action technical and field support (RI/FS, RD/RA, RFA, RFI, CMS, CMI); sampling, analysis and data management activities; human health and ecological risk assessment; litigation/negotiation support; UXO support; and evaluating and gathering site inspection data for Hazard Ranking System scoring.
