Funding for Remediation

We evaluate all options from private insurance policies, Indiana’s Excess Liability Trust Fund (ELTF), and federal grants, to collecting from those who actually caused the contamination.

IDEM Claim

Gahl Legal Group provides a roadmap for resolving a client’s situation, be it a Notice of Liability from IDEM, an underground storage tank (UST) violation letter, or a demand for compliance relating to hazardous waste.

Clean Up Management

Our work includes evaluating regulatory reporting duties, hiring and working with an environmental consultant, interacting with IDEM, overseeing the work plans and results, and assessing closure options to best match the client’s goals.
