Service: | Hexavalent Chromium Clean-up Brownfields/redevelopment Phase 2 Subsurface Investigations Soil Remediation Regulatory Response & Negotiation |
| The Los Angeles Regional Water Board (LARWQCB) began searching in the early 2000’s for sources of chromium that had impacted key beneficial drinking water supplies in the Los Angeles area. One of TRG’s clients, a plating company, was asked to look into its past practices and assess the subsurface because another Fortune 500 company downgradient had detected highly elevated concentrations of chromium and believed it to originate from TRG’s client. Working with the law firm of Franklin, Bevins, Walsworth & McCall, TRG was able to advance work enough to demonstrate that the problem at the Fortune 500 company was more likely its own problem than TRG’s clients. By creating a compilation, surveyed regional issues report, TRG was able to graphically demonstrate that its client’s chromium issue was "de minimus". In this case, TRG worked through its clients insurer, Zurich Insurance North America. | |||
