India Basin Neighborhood Association Selects Technical Adviser

After a thorough review process, the India Basin Neighborhood Association selected Soil Water Air Protection Enterprise (SWAPE) to serve as its technical adviser for the Hunters Point Shipyard Cleanup Technical Assistance Grant awarded by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

IBNA will introduce SWAPE to the community at a community meeting in the near future, the exact date of which is still being finalized. Community members will have the opportunity to meet SWAPE's Project Director Matt Hagemann and engage him on the critical technical issues facing the Shipyard's cleanup. Because we expect the Navy to release the Draft Final Feasibility Study for Parcel E sometime in December, the meeting may also include issues related to this important document.

SWAPE is an environmental consulting firm that brings outstanding experience and success to clients on projects involving complex environmental issues. Its clients include a diverse variety of law firms, municipalities, environmental consulting firms, community groups, non-profit organizations, developers, and industries. SWAPE's principals and staff have a diverse range of backgrounds in environmental science, engineering, epidemiology, toxicology, and environmental health. Its team has extensive experience providing expert services to legal clients on some of the largest environmental litigation projects in the nation.

SWAPE has extensive personal and professional relationships with local, state, and federal regulatory officials in most agencies that regulate environmental policy. These long-standing relationships in government and knowledge of regulatory policy allow it to bring experience to decision making involving regulatory and compliance issues and will be an invaluable asset to the Bayview Hunters Point community during the Hunters Point Shipyard cleanup process.
