Phase I Environmental Assessments
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) imposes liability on owners, operators, and other
potential responsible parties (PRPs) for property on which hazardous
materials or wastes are located. To assess, eliminate or reduce this
liability, TEC Accutite’s staff of Registered Engineers, Geologists,
and Hydro-Geologists perform Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
on commercial and industrial properties.

Risk-Based Corrective Action
RBCA is a consistent decision-making process for the assessment and
response to a chemical release, based on the protection of human
health and environment. RBCA uses a three-tier approach as defined
in ASTM PS-104 “Standard Provisional Guide for Risk-Based
Corrective Action” (ASTM, 1998). TEC uses computer modeling (RBCA
Tool Kit, BIOSCREEN, BIOCHLOR, and Johnson & Ettinger Model) in its
performance of multi-tiered RBCA.
