| SEA served as
a RCRA/CERCLA/CWA regulatory and cost expert to several coverage groups during
negotiations on a major claim brought by a refinery for all closure, compliance
and remedial costs incurred at all refinery sites to date. SEA’s research
revealed that over 75% of the claim was attributable to equipment age and
compliance obligations with RCRA’s closure, retrofitting, monitoring, and
site assessment requirements. Costs for compliance with these requirements
would be incurred even in the absence of releases from the waste management
units in question. Case was settled in a manner highly favorable to
the coverage group. |
