Herst
& Associates, Inc. is preparing a Corrective Measures Plan on behalf of
an industrial facility to evaluate potential remedial systems. As part of the
project, Herst & Associates, Inc. completed a human health risk characterization.
Based on a calculation of risks using historic data in comparison with the most
recent information, Herst & Associates, Inc. was able to demonstrate significant
reduction in risks through time as a result of previously-implemented operational
changes at the facility. The risk characterization resulted in considerable
cost savings by reducing the scope of remedial actions. Herst & Associates,
Inc. provided technical expert testimony during meetings with regulatory personnel
and the general public.
