The world of contaminated sediment management is changing fast. Waterfront revitalization is driving the need to address legacy sediment contamination in urban areas. Regulatory agencies and the communities they serve are demanding more rigorous cleanups with features that can dramatically drive up complexity and cost. At the same time, there is increasing pressure for source identification and control. With the cost of some cleanups well into the billions of dollars, cost allocation has transformed into an intricate, high-stakes enterprise. Whether you need a few days of strategic consultation, support in allocation or litigation, or technical studies at any stage of project development, TIG Environmental makes the difference.
