Hazardous Waste/Remediation

SAIC has broad-based expertise with hazardous materials and waste management and compliance assurance spanning more than 25 years for both private and public sector clients. We have a proven record of helping customers address Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)/Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and other federal, state, and local regulations in hazardous materials assessment and hazardous waste management.

This expertise has been developed through extensive hands-on experience at sites across the United States requiring site investigation; analysis of treatment systems; evaluation of storage and transportation methods; development and implementation of remedial measures; and understanding of, and compliance with, complex federal and state regulatory requirements.

SAIC has evaluated hazardous materials, waste streams, and operating practices for a full range of clients and developed or updated standard protocols, compliance procedures, and regulatory requirements specific to the operation and materials used and produced. SAIC has performed compliance evaluations of numerous types of facilities and industries; conducted Phase I, II, and III site assessments and investigations; performed feasibility studies and treatability studies; consulted on waste storage and management activities; and developed training materials and performed staff training for clients. Through these projects, SAIC has developed expertise in working collaboratively with federal, state, and local government agencies throughout the region.
