SITE INVESTIGATION
Our team designs and delivers efficient, science-based, multimedia environmental investigations that provide the data needed to answer the important questions and develop the right solutions. We are targeted, on point, and strategic. The result is remedial strategies that are protective, sustainable, and cost‑effective.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
We know that complying with environmental, health, and safety regulations is a priority for our clients. So is meeting business objectives. That’s why we consider both when building compliance strategies. Within this framework, our scientists and engineers bring to bear the relevant technical factors to develop robust programs to meet a range of federal, state, and local regulatory standards.

CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT
We offer comprehensive sediment management services to help our clients evaluate and remediate contaminated sediment sites; plan navigation dredging projects; and manage sediments in lakes, rivers, estuaries, and impoundments. Our services are fully integrated with our risk assessment, engineering, remediation, modeling, restoration, and natural resources capabilities. The result is sustainable, environmentally sound, and cost‑effective solutions.

FATE and TRANSPORT
We apply quantitative analyses and models to resolve key questions about the magnitude, sources, fate, and transport of organic and inorganic chemicals in the environment. Developing robust conceptual site models that describe the physical, chemical, and biological processes governing chemical behavior and fate is the framework of our approach. The results lead to more effective site investigations, remediation strategies, and identification of chemical sources.

Monitoring Technologies
We get it. You have questions. You need data to answer them. And those data need to be reliable, robust, and acquired efficiently. Our team excels at designing and implementing monitoring programs that utilize the right combination of technologies to meet your needs. We have decades of experience in properly and safely implementing these technologies and then evaluating the results to achieve solutions that work.

Decision-Making for Coastal Communities Facing Sea Level Rise: Cheryl Hapke Presents New Approach at GSA Conference
The rate of sea level rise is accelerating. In locations along U.S. coastlines, high-tide flooding is now 300% to 900% more frequent than it was 50 years ago. Communities with coastlines are facing hazards to their beaches, homes, and businesses from powerful storms, inundation, and erosion. Many U.S. states are requiring coastal communities to develop practical and effective adaptation strategies to accommodate future hazards under anticipated sea level rise scenarios.
