Voluntary Compliance Programs
Environmental Consultants Experienced in State Compliance Programs
Environmental assessment experts participate in state compliance programs.
Many of the United States, such as Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas and Indiana, have programs in place which enable firms to deal with situations on a more flexible basis than they would under traditional regulatory enforcement.
In most cases, participation is on a voluntary basis, linked to property transactions. Additionally, most states have programs focusing specifically on sources of contamination, like leaking underground storage tanks, dry cleaning facilities and agricultural chemicals.
Environmental Experts Assess Site-Specific Risks
These programs utilize a risk-based corrective action approach. This allows the responsible party to account for site-specific conditions and the potential impacts of a site on nearby water sources, such as wells and streams, and other environmental receptors.
