Environmental pollution of soil, groundwater, and surface water often leads to significant property damage, penalties for violating federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and stigma. Depending upon the type of pollutant and whether the pollutant is in the soil, water, or both, a seemingly small release of hazardous material can easily cost millions of dollars to remove from the environment. Environmental contamination within homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces (including indoor air quality issues) can also adversely affect human health and result in litigation. Rimkus experts can determine the efficacy of the emergency response or remedial approach, which can result in expedited site closure and/or reduced costs. In addition, Rimkus experts are adept in long-term economic forecasting and remediation cost evaluations. Rimkus keeps the project on task with direct communication with the contractors and establishing invoicing guidelines in the early stages of a project to prevent costly change orders and budget overruns. When requested, we can provide a qualified professional to oversee cleanup efforts on behalf of our clients.
