One way that they can help is by being aware that Policy Find™ can find old insurance policies that can pay for site investigation and remediation activities. While regulators may not be allowed to give our name directly to companies under enforcement, knowing that we exist and letting the company under enforcement know about such services could be of great value to those companies.
