Pollution Risk Services is a pioneer in the development of environmental contamination clean up programs that combine environmental liability and risk transfer.

Our Clean Break program was developed to enable companies to enter into a "Liability Buyout" for environmentally contaminated sites. With the Clean Break program, liability is transferred from the responsible party/parties to Pollution Risk Services for a firm fixed dollar amount. Pollution Risk Services then manages the site-remediation activities and returns the contaminated site to full regulatory compliance. These activities are supported fully by an A.M. Best "A" rated insurance product to protect the owner/ownership group of the contaminated site.

The end result is a "Clean Break" from additional or future financial site responsibilities.

The benefits to our Clean Break clients are clear:

• All costs associated with the remediation of impacted sites are capped, often for less than the engineer's estimate.
• PRS assumes the management of the remediation efforts, eliminating internal and external client management of the site.
• Highly variable liabilities are permanently removed from client's balance sheet enabling the client to focus attention on core business activities.
• Known and unknown environmental liabilities are covered, protecting client from additional and unforeseen remediation costs.
• Certainty of remedial actions, supported by A.M. Best "A" rated insurance carrier.
• Full global release with contribution protection.
• Restore positive corporate image customers, regulators, public officials, and community.

Successful applications of the PRS Clean Break Program include:

• Multiparty "Superfund" sites with excessive administrative and legal costs.
• Disposition of non-strategic properties with environmental liabilities.
• Gifting properties to government entities or nonprofit organizations.
• Companies who wish to clean up balance sheet liabilities, accelerate tax deductions, and focus on core business without the threat of future cost.
