What’s the best approach to resolve environmental liabilities? Understanding potential liabilities at contaminated sites and protecting one’s interests requires a comprehensive, fact-based approach. TIG Environmental embraces a robust “weight-of-evidence” approach incorporating multiple lines of evidence to develop a comprehensive picture of the fact record, source(s) of contamination and receptors, and how they relate to potential liabilities and allocation for our clients. We believe that the understanding of liabilities at complex sites is based on three supporting pillars: investigation, analyses of chemical data, and allocation. TIG Environmental’s unique team of scientists, technical experts, licensed investigators, legal discovery experts and testifying experts work together seamlessly in identifying, analyzing and integrating disparate information to paint a holistic picture that is used to support our client’s strategies at contaminated sites. Our forensic analysis, integrated and presented with factual records, provides security to our clients for a successful outcome in litigation, allocation, mediation, and other legal matters. TIG Environmental is now a part of the Verdantas team. To keep up with our projects and our people, be sure to follow Verdantas! #TIGEnvironmental #WeAreVerdantas #environmentalconsulting #allocation #liability #forensics

The EPA's final Safer Communities by Chemical Accident Prevention Rule (SCCAP Rule) has brought both relief and potential challenges to the intermodal chemical transport industry. Initially, the proposed rule included a 48-hour limit on time a container of certain hazardous substances could be held on-site "in-transit" before subject to the EPA's risk management planning requirements, but that provision was not included in the final rule. Had it been adopted, it may have drastically altered industry operations, which the EPA acknowledged by including a multi-year phase in period in its initial proposal. Despite not adopting an explicit time-limit, the EPA’s reference to new case law within the SCCAP Rule may promote significant new interpretation regarding “in-transit” related activities. This ambiguity poses a risk of increasing regional inconsistency with respect to when EPA seeks to exert jurisdiction over chemical transport operations that have traditionally been under the purview of the DOT. As we navigate these regulatory waters, it’s crucial for industry stakeholders to stay informed and prepared for the potential impacts of these changes. For a detailed overview of the SCCAP Rule and its implications for the chemical transportation industry, read the full alert from Holland & Knight . #EPARegulations #ChemicalTransport #EnvironmentalLaw #SCCAPRule #IndustryInsights

As an Underground Storage Tank owner/operator, it’s important to keep in mind that UST regulations can change over time as new information becomes available or as environmental concerns evolve. Regulatory agencies regularly review and update UST regulations to address emerging issues, improve safety standards, and enhance environmental protection. That’s why it’s essential to be aware of the specific Federal or State regulations or updates for your USTs, as compliance is mandatory and subject to enforcement actions, including fines and penalties. The last thing you want is to undergo an inspection, be caught off guard if you have deficiencies, and then face potential fines from the EPA. #AnteaGroup #UST
