Environmental Litigation
Heritage Research Center, Ltd. has helped clients reduce their liabilities at environmentally-impacted sites for over 26 years. We identify PRPs and quantify sources of waste generation and release that assist our clients in determining matters of fact and in developing the foundation for legal defenses. More specifically, Heritage has located documentation relevant to the following issues of third party liability:
- point and non-point sources of pollution;
- quantity, character and timing of historical releases;
- natural resource baseline conditions and historical natural resource damages;
- past and present owners, operators, transporters, and generators;
- historical operations and processes;
- storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials over time and from site to site; and
- historical insurance coverage.
Additionally, we are well versed in establishing state and federal government liability through documenting permitted releases, government acceptance of irreversible and irretrievable losses of resources, and government ownership/operator liability, including government wartime involvement.
Heritage's experience extends to research of industrial and resource extraction activities in 18 states spread nation-wide. Research of other types expands the list to 35 states in which we have undertaken projects. In the process, we have provided our corporate and legal clients an extraordinary variety and volume of documentation from private and public repositories across the country.
