Columbia, SC – The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Education asked Fuss & O’Neill to provide environmental training and field sampling technique demonstrations to a group of approximately 80 attendees at the annual Environmental Crimes Seminar. Attendees included attorneys from the Department of Justice Environmental Crimes Section, Assistant U.S. Attorneys from 30 Districts, and scientists from the EPA National Enforcement Investigations Center.
The training was conducted by Blake Burgess, Jeff Lackovic, and Thom Bristol from our Columbia South Carolina Office.

Mr. Burgess and Mr. Bristol conducted the field demonstration portion of the training at former landfill and included: common soil and groundwater sampling techniques, field screening methods, monitoring well construction methods, and proper sample preservation and custody procedures.
The National Advocacy Center in Columbia, SC is operated by the U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office for United States Attorneys and is on the grounds of the University of South Carolina.
