Enforcement Assistance

Regulatory enforcement process assistance, and return to compliance services

If your company has been inspected by a regulatory agency and you’re unsure what to do next, it can be an overwhelming experience. Preparing for regulatory proceedings or restoring compliance after a challenging state or EPA evaluation is often complex and high-stakes. Novesis provides the clarity, strategy, and senior-level technical support you need to navigate the enforcement process with confidence.

Our professionals have participated in more than 1,000 RCRA inspections and 200+ state and federal enforcement conferences. As former regulators and seasoned industry experts, we possess an unmatched understanding of waste management regulations — including how the rules have evolved over time. We help companies effectively prepare responses to, and successfully defend against, state and federal (EPA) enforcement actions. Leveraging our deep knowledge of regulatory requirements and proper rule application, we routinely identify instances where government inspectors have misapplied the regulations and use those findings as a strong basis for defense.

How your company responds to enforcement can significantly impact operations, reputation, and potential civil or criminal penalties. Novesis works with you at every stage — helping you develop strong technical and regulatory positions, mitigate exposure, resolve issues as quickly as possible, and minimize penalties while preventing future occurrences.
