CEC has successfully completed numerous detailed evaluations of remedial alternatives, including dozens of RCRA facility investigations/corrective measures studies and Remedial Investigations/Feasibility Studies at RCRA and CERCLA sites. We have developed innovative approaches to corrective actions which have saved our clients millions of dollars by changing the proposed remedy even after it was accepted by the agency.

CEC believes that contamination should generally be treated at the site whenever possible to minimize the risks and costs associated with handling and transporting hazardous wastes. How this contamination is treated depends on the nature of the materials, site characteristics, and regulatory permitting requirements, all of which can make one remedial alternative more effective and practical than another.

As mentioned above, CEC is has performed dozens of RCRA investigations throughout the east and Midwestern United States. Several of these projects have been Environmental Indicators investigations for Fortune 500 companies in the metals, petroleum and chemicals industries. Large-scale RCRA projects with dozens of SWMUs are being conducted for industrial companies throughout the United States.
