Toeroek has provided extensive Freedom Of Information Act support to our EPA clients, particularly in Regions 6 and 9. In Region 6, we assisted EPA in completing hundreds of responses to FOIA requests since 2011. In Region 9, we assist both the Superfund and RCRA Division staff in responding to FOIA requests in a timely and expedient manner.
FOIAs are increasingly being used by litigants in an attempt to gain access to information not normally available through the course of legal discovery channels. We are successfully coordinating FOIA responses between these parties in the EPA Regions where we perform FOIA work. We are knowledgeable of the Superfund process including file structure and the multiple phase activities that a site can require and are familiar with common obstacles that may arise and prevent an accurate and timely response. Our improvements to the FOIA review process have resulted in significant time and cost savings.
