Kleinfelder is a national professional services firm specializing in natural and built environments for municipalities, government agencies, multinational companies and industrial concerns across the nation. The company is evaluating the types of activities conducted by the laboratories, and the effectiveness of the safeguards that are in place to protect both staff and the surrounding community.

A draft report of the risk assessment will be available online in mid-October, and a community meeting about the risk assessment will be held on November 6, 2008.
