Projects

As technical advisor or consultant to citizen organizations on the cleanup of contaminated sites under Superfund, FUDS, or other state and federal programs, Environmental Stewardship Concepts is responsible for technical review of all phases and aspects of the effort. These reviews begin with evaluation of the extent of knowledge and ignorance regarding the site, and the basic questions and assumptions that govern the site investigations and cleanup decisions.

We review and evaluate every step of the process, including design of the investigations and field work, data analysis and appropriateness of the conclusions.

We regularly conduct public fora to explain the technical issues to the citizens. In fact, we translate the results for the public and our presentations and reports to the citizens are distributed in hard copy and on websites for public information.

Our responsibilities include, but are not restricted to the following activities:

• Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS)
  • Adequacy of data
  • Alternatives and options
  • Public understanding
• Work Plan
• Field Investigations
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control Plan and Assessments
