Texas site) ENSR negotiated, designed and completed the remediation and closure saving the PRPs over $70 million in cleanup costs with an innovative solution that accelerated the cleanup with a permanent remedy that avoids future liabilities.

Recent RCRA Project

ENSR assisted a major chemical manufacturer in Ohio to implement a RCRA Corrective Action Program. The project required extensive negotiation and coordination with US EPA Region V to arrive at a reduced list of Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs). 

ENSR completed two phases of field work and implemented an Interim Measure. ENSR used the results of the field program to prepare a risk assessment that greatly reduced the number of SWMUs which were carried into the Corrective Measures Study.
