Municipalities

Environmental Consulting for Municipalities

When it comes to public health, the stakes are too high to risk using just any consultant. A flawed assessment can affect thousands of people and cost millions in liability.

Sadly, many municipalities learn the hard way that a poorly prepared consulting firm – or one that’s relies on doing the regulator’s projects – can generate more problems than solutions. When you need a proven consultant whose obligations remain with the community and its residents, you need Dragun Corporation.

 

Environmental Consulting for Municipalities’ Successes

  • A group of five municipalities was awarded more than $100,000,000 in insurance coverage for landfill remediation as a result of Dragun Corporation’s understanding and communication of the complex hydrogeology of the site.
  • In another case, Dragun’s senior analysts performed a critical analysis and determined the type, extent, and movement of the environmental contamination for a group of four entities in Salina, Kansas.  In this precedent-setting case, the Department of Justice agreed to pay, up front, 90 percent of the cost to fill data gaps and to prepare a remediation plan – the first time the federal government has financed this type of effort.
