- PNL
helped a major site RP group with onsite RD
support as well as EPA negotiations support.
|
- PNL
formulated a creative deal structure where,
in return for EPA forgiving past costs, the
PRP group would consider building site improvements
beyond the remedy scope. The proposed improvements
were of a recreational nature, such as soccer
fields. PNL formulated this plan, performed
a cost/benefit analysis, and then led negotiations
on behalf of the PRPs with EPA, DOJ, the local
TAG holders, and town and community leaders.
|
- At
another site in a coastal community, PNL evaluated
how wetlands features could be built into a
sludges containment remedial solution.
