  • Can confirm. Work for one of the largest HazMat/Enviromental remediation companies in the US. A lot of our bigger sites are dormant because it’s not profitable to proceed with remediation if the at-fault party contests.

    Also- most insurance companies have creative clauses in their policies that make it impossible for spills/contaminated areas to be 100% covered. As a consequence, the state has the obligation to mitigate but corners are cut everywhere because Environmental Services are usually some of the least funded departments in state budgets. Cleanup Funds are also finite and once the fiscal year’s coffers run dry, some projects are either completely abandoned or postponed until the fund is refilled.
