Regulatory and
Voluntary Remediation
Services

Epiq offers regulatory and voluntary remediation services with a depth of experience.

We understand that regulatory and voluntary remediation often goes beyond financial settlements. If remediation program vrp participation is necessary to address contaminated sites, we can provide guidance on navigating program vrp requirements. We recognise that a prompt, coordinated approach also improves the health environment and protects public health across all compliance layers.

Experience and Expertise
Knowledge

Compliance is Key

  •  By applying the same level of rigorous compliance for voluntary cleanup efforts, and recognizing when a pay application fee may be required for certain programs, we help ensure alignment with state-level quality control board standards and other oversight entities. 
  •  We also have familiarity with toxic substances control measures and can help manage the complexities of declaration environmental restriction documentation when relevant.

In response to a regulatory investigation or more formal mutual recognition agreement (MRA), financial institutions retain Epiq to implement voluntary remediation programs. Decades of combined expertise with regulatory settlements means that Epiq is attuned to regulator interest and concern even when there is no formal consent order or conciliation agreement. We understand that environmental factors, such as water quality or addressing underground storage tank issues, can accompany financial resolution requirements. Financial institutions trust Epiq to help bring such matters to a prompt and satisfactory resolution, including further guidance on cleanup programs, project manager coordination, and developing an effective risk assessment for health environment considerations.
