Environmental Technical Expertise for Financial Solutions
Environmental Technical Expertise for Financial Solutions Known environmental liabilities may be difficult to control and resolve, especially if there are multiple parties involved and remediation will take a long time.
Cost Containment
Since there are many different remediation firms with varying specialties and resources, each with certain preferences for remedial technologies and methods, we help our clients identify and evaluate the most viable alternatives to meet their
objectives - usually leading to greater efficiencies and cost savings, or cost guarantees that provide clients with budget certainty.
Tools to Resolve Disputes
Disagreements over environmental liability often involve large differences in perception of risk, including remedial objectives, timeframe to closure, and likelihood of success with proposed remedial approaches.
We suggest processes and solutions to bridge different perspectives of risk, facilitating settlement of disputes.
Asset Retirement Obligations
AROs (FAS 143, FIN 47) such as legal requirements for closure, post-closure, or reclamation of long-lived assets involve estimating fair value of liability.
As AROs include environmental risks, ER&FS assists clients with risk management solutions to support valuation and effective liability management.
Over the past five years, ER&FS has implemented an environmental management strategy for our portfolio of operations and remediation projects that has aligned the goals of our technical consulting team, improved our standing in the regulatory community, and resulted in significant cost savings for our company. We have had experience with a number of national and regional environmental consulting firms and rank our experience with ER&FS at the highest possible level. Cost / benefits are very efficient and our progress with regulatory agencies and the process to "closure" is exceeding our expectations. I can't imagine a more progressive and capable firm and heartily recommend Don and Brian as your environmental consulting team. I can assure you; you will not be disappointed!
