Pollution Cleanup Costs - Oversight and Audit Services

We provide cost oversight of pollution cleanups to ensure that you are not being overcharged.  Although the optimum time to audit costs is while cleanup is ongoing, we have conducted hundreds of "post mortem" audits of cleanup invoices. 

Our audits have included cleanup costs relative to spills or releases on land and water involving chemicals, oil, gas, jet fuel, diesel, and dust particles.   Cleanup costs relative to these incidents have been as low as $1,000 and as high as $130,000,000.

Spills - Claims Management

We provide claims management relative to any third party claims resulting from a pollution event on the ground, in the air,  or on the water.  We are proficient in handling high claim volumes and working  in accord with OPA 90 mandates.   Our expertise includes handling claims involving business interruption, fisheries losses, damaged vehicles and boats, and evacuation expenses.

Among the many spills we have worked, our personnel managed the claims offices for the Tampa Bay spill of 1993, the Buffalo Barge incidents in Galveston in March and May of 1996, the 1997 Kure spill in Humboldt Bay, California, the 2000 Pepco Fuel Oil spill on the Patuxent River in Maryland, the 2000 Narragansett Power Outage in Jamestown Rhode Island, the 2001 Moran Towing Barge spill in Long Island Sound, the 2001 Diamond Shamrock Refinery Fire and Evacuation incident, the 2002 Valero Refinery Emission incident, the 2004 Torm Mary spill in Port Neches, Texas, and the 2004 Selendang Ayu spill in Unalaska, Alaska.
