Better Know the EPA with Cambria Contracting

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is a young Federal administrative body tasked with enforcing the nation's laws in regards to environmental duties. Established December 2^nd, 1970 in order to consolidate all the nation's federal research, monitoring, standard-setting, and enforcement activities to ensure a safe environment for all living creatures. As a major demolition contractor Cambria Contracting often finds itself working to adhere to EPA guidelines and policies. As such we thought it would be a good idea to begin describing the agency behind most of our environmental remediation efforts.

Currently, the EPA is led by administrator Lisa P. Jackson. Appointed on December 15^th, 2008 she became the first person of African American descent to serve as EPA administrator. She oversees the twelve sub-departments of the EPA. She began her environmental career with an appointment in New Jersey by then Governor Jeff Corzine.

Cambria Contracting's dealings with the EPA are usually in regards to making sure all levels of hazardous materials are well within safe parameters at ever job site they are leaving. A lot of the industrial sites which Cambria Contracting works with can often house particles and liquids which can be found to be hazardous once they are disassembled from the casings they were housed in during operation. The EPA can audit a site, but typically the use of approved testing methods is enough to comply. The EPA compliance concerns every possible form of pollution and is incredibly thorough. From radiation to water tables the EPA insists that businesses ensure that when vacating a site that the environment is restored as well.

Cambria Contracting is proud to state that they have never had an issue with the EPA on any of it's industrial sites. It is this dedication to being the best that has allowed Cambria Contracting to rise to the top of this industry as the premier industrial demolition expert in North America.
