Environmental Agency Negotiation

Environmental regulations that define acceptable cleanup goals leave considerable latitude for regulatory managers. In addition, in many cases, the state of the science, particularly in risk assessment, leaves room for interpretation. In such a regulatory climate, effective agency negotiation can save literally millions of dollars in site cleanup costs.

ENSR project managers and senior scientists combine an in-depth technical knowledge with hands-on understanding of the regulatory process and those responsible for administering it. Thus, we have an excellent track record of successful agency negotiations for reasonable cleanup goals. As a result, our clients enjoy significant cost savings.

Acting as client advocates, ENSR managers and scientists are fully prepared to defend least-cost options and use the regulations to compel regulators to accept our low-cost solutions. Because we do not work for regulatory agencies, we are able to fully commit ourselves to the needs and goals of our commercial clients.
