ECS has recovered over $22,000,000 in cleanup costs from various state cleanup funds. Our experienced reimbursement staff is knowledgeable in the sophisticated requirements of state reimbursement fund regulations. With this knowledge base and the help of state-of-the-art claim preparation and tracking software, we are able to maximize clients' cost recovery. Our reimbursement staff continuously works with our in-house technical experts to ensure that all possible costs are fund eligible. ECS also helps companies become eligible and remain eligible for funds through our underground storage tank compliance management program. Our reimbursement staff routinely participates in state trust fund subcommittee work groups. This participation assists tremendously with our abilities in advocating our clients' interests relative to regulatory initiatives/revisions and policy development/guidance. Additionally, our reimbursement staff frequently attends and participates in monthly trust fund board meetings, gaining first-hand knowledge of claim approvals and policy changes. Because we employ a specialized workforce, ECS can also assist clients in dealing with the highly complicated technical, legal and financial issues associated with buying or selling facilities impacted by contamination.
