One of the key concepts that will
continue to be reinforced by August Mack this year is to provide
superior customer service to all of our clients. As many companies
can attest, 2009 was not a stellar year by any means. Fortunately,
due to our strong customer service and loyal clientele August Mack
experienced consistent sales in 2009 compared to previous years and
was able to end the year on a strong note. While August Mack had
many triumphs in 2009, such as the establishment of...

This past fall, August Mack was
lucky enough to hire a new health & safety specialist that has

firm. If you need assistance with Health and Safety Compliance,
this new addition to our team further broadens our expertise. All
the customers she has been working with over the past few months
are VERY happy with the projects we are completing for them.

Your consultant is your best
friend when the Phase I you just ordered came up with no
recommendations. How tested is that relationship when there is a
recommendation to perform further testing? Yes, sometimes the
recommendation to test is a no-brainer. Perhaps when an underground
storage tank is discovered at a site for which there is no data to
determine if the tank has leaked into the ground. Other times the
recommendation to test might not initially make sense to the report
user(s) and these...

It was just three years ago that
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued regulations
outlining the steps a perspective property purchaser must take to
comply with the concept of “all appropriate inquiry into
the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with
good commercial or customary practice.” This concept of all
appropriate inquiry was mandated by the Comprehensive
Emergency Response and Liability Act (CERCLA), better known as the
Superfund Law or just Superfund, to...

“I’m a consultant and I’m here
to help you!” These words reminiscent of the proverbial
used-car salesman who thinks he is offering you a deal you simply
cannot pass up. You probably have gotten this sentiment when your
company finds itself in a situation that requires a consultant to
remedy its environmental problems. Thus, the selection process
begins. After numerous introductions and “pitches,” the long list
of available consultants has been short-listed to those few
consultants that you are...

Attorneys can offer confidentiality and
privilege.
Any environmental compliance
audit should be marked "Confidential" and should be
kept separately from other records. If you involve an outside
attorney, the audit should be performed under Attorney-Client
Privilege. This protects you from providing it to the permitting
authority, third-party litigants and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Remember, as a practical matter EPA (and many
states) have broad subpoena powers.
If a violation is...

Prior to eCAP® almost
everybody did environmental consulting on a peace mill basis. If
you needed a Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasure (SPCC)
plan, you contracted out for one. If you needed a Tier II report,
you contracted out for one. Companies could easily contract for
several different annual reporting requirements.
August Mack saw
there was an opportunity for an Environmental Compliance Assistance
Program. The concept for eCAP® was formulated in 1999.

The Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has developed a
proposed cleanup and redevelopment program for the state Superfund
and leaking underground storage tank (LUST) programs. The last
revision was in 1995 when cleanup criteria was established via
Risk-Based Corrective Action protocol, and liability was changed
from the federal Superfund concept of joint and several liability
(i.e., where any party who owned or operated at the polluted
property could be held liable for its...

Each year, August Mack has the
privilege to support our clients with the evaluation and
remediation of environmentally impaired sites they are considering
for redevelopment. Some would classify these sites as “Brownfield”
properties, but then again the Brownfield definition has evolved to
now include everything under the sun. It seems like everywhere one
turns, Brownfields are the buzz of the political, development, and
environmental consultant communities. From the consultant who sees
the...
