Through legal counsel, Tora conducted multiple compliance evaluations across several states — including South Carolina, Kentucky, Nevada, and California — for a U.S. mining and materials processing operator. The objective was to assess overall compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
Each evaluation included document and record reviews, site tours of mines and processing facilities, and employee interviews, covering key regulatory areas such as:
- Air
- Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
- Stormwater and wastewater
- Used oil
- Hazardous waste
The deliverable for each multimedia compliance review was a detailed matrix outlining major and minor findings, along with opportunities for improvement. Each finding was accompanied by corrective action recommendations and regulatory or permit citations, providing the operator with a practical roadmap to strengthen compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
