COMPANY EXPERIENCE

Environmental matters are legally complex and often involve multiple parties. The stakes are usually high. One of our current projects includes:

The Presidio of San Francisco Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)

The Presidio RAB setting includes most of the complex legal, technical, business and political challenges found in environmental disputes today. The interests of multiple parties combined with conflicting and overlapping regulatory influence present many difficult challenges.

The contamination issues include:

Source removal, containment, and final remedy selection
Leaking UST plume definition (solvents, gasoline, diesel, and heating oil)
Pesticides, heavy metals
PCB spills, waste oil contamination
Improperly designed and contaminated landfills
Asbestos
Chemical, biological and radiological decontamination in buildings

The legal issues include:

CERCLA, TSCA, RCRA and a host of other overlapping regulations
