Hurricane Katrina Environmental Assistance

Benchmark provided personnel to assist with the EPA START (Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team) response to Hurricane Katrina.  Benchmark personnel were involved in the effort to mitigate threats to public health, welfare, or the environment caused by the actual or potential release of hazardous materials as a result of the hurricane.  This including helping to assess and manage a range of  environmental issues, from the disposal of small containers left by the flood waters to the evaluation of potentially impacted Superfund sites.
