Environment

From forest management and mining, to open space, wetlands and development issues, to hazardous waste, groundwater, Superfund and RCRA, Behan’s dedicated environmental team is recognized as the leader in environmental, siting, and risk communications.

Our experience in siting commercial, industrial and residential projects, providing community and media relations support for Superfund and other major environmental cleanups, managing direct community outreach, addressing community opposition, and seeking permits, approvals and regulatory changes provides our clients with an advantage in this often highly emotional and complex arena.

We specialize in demystifying scientific and technical issues and communicating with federal, state and local decision-makers, the news media, community groups and the public. Our experience in direct community outreach and grassroots organizing along with our technical proficiency, political judgment and media relations expertise help us execute a comprehensive strategy to achieve our clients’ goals.
