Human Health Risk Assessments
Environmental Standards uses advanced risk assessment techniques to evaluate health and environmental conditions associated with site investigations and risk analyses of proposed remedial alternatives.  Environmental Standards combines our experience and expertise in this area and employs sound risk assessment principles to develop cost-effective and defensible exposure scenarios and quantitative estimates of risk.  Our expertise in risk assessment services includes data evaluation and statistical studies; exposure pathway analysis; pathway elimination; receptor evaluations/conceptual site models; uncertainty analyses; development of site-specific standards; vapor intrusion assessments; brownfield redevelopments; and ecological assessments, to name a few.

Ecological Risk Assessments
Ecological risk assessment (ERA) is often an integral fiscal component of managing risk at sites of all sizes and complexities.  The results of an ERA offer real value to environmental management decision-makers in that the results can provide an innovative tool to address environmental compliance and to control remediation costs. 

Our ecological risk team routinely performs ERAs that support a wide range of regulatory programs, such as:

• Brownfields Redevelopment Projects
• Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
• Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
• Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) Programs
• Risk-Based Site and Remediation Closures

Development of Site-Specific Cleanup Standards
Environmental Standards negotiated site-specific cleanup standards are (on average) an order of magnitude higher than generic cleanup standards.  Our records show that clients can save over $250,000 in potential remediation costs for $1,000 spent on Environmental Standards’ development of site-specific cleanup standards.
