Regulatory enforcement officials in environmental civil penalty cases must be able to estimate the economic benefit that a violator has accrued through its noncompliance with pollution control. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established policies for determining penalties. The economic benefit result forms a floor for the penalty, ensuring that the violator is at least returned to the financial position it would have occupied but for its wrongful actions. IEc is a leader in economic benefit calculation for environmental enforcement actions, and an expert with EPA's economic benefit computer model, BEN. We have supported hundreds of civil penalty cases involving entities of diverse sizes that range from multinational corporations to sole proprietorships, and from major metropolitan entities to small not-for-profits. Just as we analyze a wide range of entities, our firm has the ability to support varied cases with services from simple calculations to case strategy and document management.
