Chemical spills, fires, transportation
accidents and contamination due to
natural or man-made disasters present
unique challenges to clients. These
incidents force changes in schedules
and disrupt normal business activities;
worse yet, they distract you from
focusing on your typical responsibilities.
To further complicate matters, the
"typical" environmental
consultant and/or under-qualified
(or overzealous) emergency response
contractor often does not readily
recognize or adapt to the unique challenges
posed by these projects.
 Emergency
and Disaster Response Management is
a primary service provided by Highlands
Environmental Solutions.
We possess a wealth of experience
in selecting the best approach and/or
technique to effectively handle each
situation. With our One-Call Incident
Management System, we can serve as
your representative to eliminate the
chaos, reduce cost, and allow you
to return to your primary business
responsibilities while minimizing
your liability exposure.
Emergency
Response Management Services
Around the clock we provide:
- Experienced professionals for
consultation
- State and Federal notification
services
- A network of spill response contractors
- Rapid mobilization for on-site
supervision
- A network of subcontractors for
drilling, excavation, disposal,
material recycling, etc.
- Documentation of response activities
- Regulatory negotiation
- Contractor management and invoice

 Our
philosophy is that an aggressive initial
remedial response and active response
management are the keys to a successful
and effective response to a spill
or disaster. Developing a systematic
approach and evaluating alternatives
before an event are crucial. A proactive
approach and utilizing proven alternatives
during an event can save time and
money, and prevent wasted effort or
confusion.
