Soil and Groundwater Remediation Planning and Monitoring
Although not all chemical releases require remediation, remediation is usually warranted if contamination to soils and groundwater is damaging to the environment, human health, and affect the monetary value of a property. As such, strict regulations have been developed throughout the Untied States, to protect soil and water resources and remediate such resources when contaminated above thresholds.

As environmental regulation becomes increasingly stringent, Andersen provides a turn-key solution to our clients in interacting with local, state and federal agencies to achieve compliance, gain closure for impacted sites, decommission of underground storage tanks (USTs), soil and groundwater remediation, or any other requirements set forth by a regulatory agency.
When faced with an environmental issue, it is important to first understand which regulatory agency is responsible for oversight, as this may seem straightforward; however agencies often overlap in jurisdiction, as such choosing the path with least resistance is critical to a timely and cost effective resolution.
