Audits
I put before you a blessing and a curse.
Moses, Deuteronomy 11:26
The federal government and the states are continuing to encourage companies to do comprehensive internal auditing. Penalties can be waived or fines reduced for problems that are discovered internally, before the agency finds them. On the other hand, they are much more aggressive in pursuing personal, criminal convictions for company employees who are responsible for compliance activities - including corporate officers and managers (not just "the environmental guy").
Are you in a position of responsibility for regulatory compliance at your company? A manager in charge of operations? A corporate officer who approves the operating budgets, including environmental programs? Perhaps you are a partner / investor in a project that is operated by a third party, and need to make sure that there are no large undiscovered and unreported compliance liabilities. A comprehensive, confidential internal compliance audit can give you the peace of mind and legal protection that you deserve.
So how can RCP partner with me?

In today's environment of heightened security and increased risk potential, RCP's team of security experts can perform a thorough security audit and risk assessment of your facilities. RCP will evaluate your facilities and operations to assess what your biggest threats are and where you may be vulnerable. Based upon these evaluations, RCP can provide best-practice solutions to mitigate those vulnerabilities and reduce your risk.
Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments
RCP professionals have extensive experience in conducting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) on a wide variety of properties such as: oil and gas facilities, pipe coating facilities, retail gasoline service stations, vacant undeveloped tracts and multi-tenant commercial tracts.
All RCP Phase I ESAs meet or exceed the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) 1527E Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Services are provided if testing is required at a property to definitively address a recognized environmental condition (contamination) that was identified in the ESA report. Discriminate sampling is conducted to define the suspected contaminants.
Material sampling media and sampling techniques for our Phase II projects may include surface soil samples, soil gas sampling, subsurface soil and groundwater samples from borings and monitoring wells, surface water samples, pond sediment sampling, drinking water samples, and drum and tank sampling.
