Since 1992, EWI’s Emergency Response team has responded to a wide variety of environmental emergencies across the central states – from minor diesel fuel tank spills to thousands of gallons of hazardous materials. We’re an Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) as classified by the U.S. Coast Guard, so rest assured that we have the experts needed to remove hazardous and non-hazardous materials from a multitude of sites, including spills into the marine ecosystem. Our emergency spill response teams are experienced in oil boom deployment and trained in the proper design of boom containments.
We’re on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can respond at a moment’s notice, no matter the situation. When we arrive, we promise to quickly assess the incident and provide a complete response to reduce the environmental impact of the release.
If you have a need and are located in the central states within the range of our emergency response map, we can help. Call our emergency hotline at 877-827-9500 for fast and reliable help immediately.

Comprehensive Emergency Response
In the wake of the incident, our full-service emergency response team is also available for:
- Emergency Assessment: Our highly trained emergency response field managers can assess the severity of a situation and help you devise a plan.
- Waste Management: We have drivers and equipment available at any time, including vacuum trucks, dump trucks, and excavation equipment.
- Agency Compliance: Our experienced management staff can act as environmental agency liaisons, completing the required reporting associated with a release.
- Short-term Remediation: Our skilled field personnel can plan and implement site clean-up
- Site Restoration: Depending on the severity of the spill, long-term remediation and site restoration may be required by state or federal agencies. We’ve successfully restored simple sites like pastures and more complex sites with damaged drainage structures. No site is too large or too small for our fast, effective response and restoration team.
