DPRA understands that waste management is more than just packaging, transporting, and disposal. DPRA’s staff of experienced scientists, engineers, attorneys and regulatory analysts provides specialized waste management services that help reduce waste management costs; eliminate inefficient use of staff time; and reduce the risk of incurring CERCLA liability.

Our experience reviewing state hazardous waste programs to support EPA authorization and our regulatory impact analysis work for EPA’s Office of Solid Waste makes us uniquely qualified to efficiently and effectively evaluate our clients waste management issues. DPRA staff has also petitioned state regulatory agencies for exclusions from hazardous waste rules on behalf of clients.

DPRA understands that inadequate knowledge and poor planning are root causes of most hazardous materials compliance issues and we pride ourselves in the development of solutions and programs that are sustainable, efficient and effective. Our waste management plans are prepared taking into account the client and facility-specific culture, needs, and available resources. DPRA has found that waste management plans and standard operating procedures prepared using this site-specific approach instead of a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all-approach are the only way that sustainable and compliant waste management practices can be effectively and efficiently carried out.
