Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations."

Technical Support:
3TM International routinely provides consulting support to its clients in the area of environmental science. Our capabilities include environmental engineering, geology and hydrogeology, ecology, land use, and human and ecological risk assessment using scientists and engineers who are recognized authorities in their respective fields, and who have demonstrated their ability to assess complex problems in a systematic manner.

Project and Technical Management:
We assist clients in planning, organizing, and controlling the technical tasks associated with litigation support. Technical assessment without proper planning and management leads to failure. Our specialists make sure that projects are properly defined, budgets and schedules are established, and project goals are realized to the satisfaction of the client. This frequently includes the coordination of the efforts of other technical experts assigned to the case.

Baseline Data Acquisition:
3TM International can acquire, evaluate, and summarize baseline data necessary to support a litigation case or an acquisition/divestiture of property. This data can include site-specific environmental data, historical research reports from public domain databases, title searches, aerial photographs, Sanborn maps, and other information. Site reconnaissance is also used to document site conditions and evidence of contamination. In some instances, 3TM International may be called upon to independently verify regulatory database information.

Records Search and Regulatory File Review:
A thorough understanding of existing and historical site conditions is critical to the case. As such, 3TM International provides thorough searches of regulatory files and other public data bases to gather background information on the nature and extent of contamination, enforcement actions, and other historical actions to support the case.

Collection of Multi-Media Environmental Data:
3TM International can help establish Data Quality Objectives. What data is absolutely essential in proving the case? What data is non-essential, but helpful? How much data is required, and with what accuracy and precision? 3TM International conducts field data acquisition programs using a variety of proven, state-of-the-art field techniques to collect high quality environmental samples in surface soil, subsurface soil, sediment, sludge, surface water, groundwater, indoor dust, and ambient air. Field procedures are fully documented to support litigation requirements. Upon collection of the samples, we provide interface with the analytical testing laboratory to ensure defensible testing and reporting of results.
