Compliance with existing federal, state, and local environmental regulations is an arduous and continual task, whether they are applied to facility operations or to site restoration or remediation projects. Many facilities have developed comprehensive and efficient programs to ensure their actions comply with these regulations. Other facilities are still in the process of developing their programs.
Wherever a facility stands in this development process, a need often exists for outside assistance in developing a strategic approach for maintaining facility compliance or structuring remedial activities.
Locus assists our clients, including corporations, governmental agencies and law firms, in complying with environmental requirements, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Recovery Act (CERCLA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA), National Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA), Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), and other federal, state and local regulations.
Locus maintains a staff of regulatory professionals who monitor federal and state legislative activities and regulatory rule making on environmental issues. We routinely track proposed rules and assess the implications of these proposed rules on the services we provide and on various ongoing projects.
Our regulatory compliance management services are designed to help corporations keep pace with ever more stringent environmental, health and safety regulations. Regulatory compliance services include auditing and auditing assistance, audit program certification, hazardous waste contractor evaluations, and real estate transaction assessments.

Optimize Sampling and Reporting of Remediation Sites
Project managers and environmental consultants know that 1/3 to 1/2 of environmental remediation costs go towards repetitive sampling analyses and regulatory reporting of sites. This generates vast amounts of site and anlytical data associated with each environmental site. Often this data is unsecure, located on multiple desktop computers and not easily accessible to share. Additionally, the data may have inconsistent formats and not comply with enterprise data standards. As a result, using the data for strategic planning, analysis and regulatory reporting for sites is inefficient, labor intensive and costly. What's required is a central system which allows you to centralize the environmental data and to optimize the remediation program.
