Rule’s multi-discipline staff have accomplished a wide range of: projects in the technical areas of environmental planning, permitting and compliance; release response; assessment and remediation of soils and groundwater; and waste management; planning and implementation. Rule develops specific solutions to meet the technical circumstances of the project and the cultural needs of our client.
Rule has successfully implemented solutions for release response, site assessment, and groundwater and soil remediation. Our greatest experience is with petroleum constituents related to impacts at refineries, E&P sites and retail gas stations. We also have experience with PCB’s and chlorinated solvents. Of note, we have applied Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) strategies to focus assessment and remediation to manage actual or potential risks. Remediation experience includes application of Natural Attenuation as well as a variety of routine and innovative technologies for remediation.
Rule specializes in preparing plans, permit applications, and compliance auditing and implementation for our industrial clients in the areas of: air, water, waste and land use. A more comprehensive list of services is available under “Learn More”.
