Senior EWMA principals and personnel provide litigation support services and expert witness testimony for a wide range of disciplines, including: source area forensics, regulatory compliance, soil and groundwater investigations, hazardous waste classification, and asbestos issues. Our clients have included expert reports and testimony for judges, attorneys, law firms, insurance companies, private companies, property owners, and government agencies in Federal and state court trials and arbitrations.
Expert Testimony/Litigation Support
As litigation consultants, we are highly skilled in making complex environmental investigations and cleanups comprehensible. We help our clients, judges, attorneys, and juries understand the technical aspects of an environmental litigation case by clearly explaining the various findings of our data review and interpretation, including professional opinions regarding the date and responsibility for a release. This service has been instrumental in resolving litigation, insurance, and refinancing matters.
Source Identification and Dispersion Modeling
Our team of environmental experts draws on extensive practical and professional experience in site remediation to conduct a thorough, highly developed, and methodical approach to understanding and evaluating the most likely contaminant discharge scenarios at a site, and how to properly address them to achieve regulator compliance.
Age Dating & Chemical Fingerprinting (Plume Dating)
The critical issue in environmental litigation is the identification of responsible parties or sources for pollutants found on contaminated properties. EWMA employs a method called Plume Dating to identify both the parties responsible for and the time of release of contamination. Plume dating can potentially allow the minimization of liability, and an equitable allocation of remedial expenses.
