Agency (EPA). Remember, as a practical matter EPA (and many
states) have broad subpoena powers.

you needed a Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasure (SPCC)
plan, you contracted out for one. If you needed a Tier II report,

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
