Environmental Consulting Services are often the first step in developing any project. Our staff can help you navigate the many environmental permitting and compliance requirements for municipal and commercial projects. Residential projects can also require permitting such as wetland delineations or stream disturbance permits.

Permitting requirements should be reviewed at the start of every project. Our staff works with all local permitting agencies, including local code enforcement officials, planning boards, utilities, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, NYS Department of Health, US Army Corps of Engineers just to name a few. We help our clients understand the process for applying for permits, and prepare supporting documentation in a clear and concise manner acceptable to the permitting authorities.

Our trained staff has helped many businesses and contractors with properly documenting tank removals, including on site soil screening with photo ionization equipment and sampling for required documentation.
