The company has passed its second anniversary and revenues have doubled
over the first year. The client list keeps increasing and the
jobs are more varied. Three exciting new assignments best
describe the manner in which the company is growing. The first
was in the spring for a major Superfund Responsible Party that needed
assistance in achieving resolution with the USEPA. Voltaggio
Consulting was able to propose the path to resolution to the company
that resulted in a major agreement and initiation of a final remedy at
the site. Another client needed an expert witness for a major
state RCRA action. The third is the most interesting.
