At LCG, we provide advanced geochemical and data science consulting services to optimize power generation and closure. From water quality management and waste handling to CO2 sequestration, our tailored solutions help you make data-driven decisions across the project life cycle. We also ensure full compliance with federal and state coal combustion residuals (CCR) groundwater requirements, including the Legacy Rule, helping you navigate complex regulations and minimize environmental influence.
