Environmental Review and Permitting
We evaluate proposed and operating facilities against applicable environmental requirements. Services may include:
Regulatory applicability assessments
Air-emissions inventories and permit reviews
Air-dispersion modeling
Evaluation of backup generators and on-site power systems
Water, wastewater, stormwater, waste, and fuel-storage reviews
Independent review of permit applications and technical studies
Environmental justice and cumulative-impact assessments
Coordination with regulatory agencies and participating stakeholders
Noise and Vibration Assessment
We assess noise and vibration using field measurements, predictive models, and applicable regulatory or community standards. Services may include:
Baseline sound monitoring
Predictive noise modeling
Evaluation of cooling equipment, generators, transformers, and other sources
Low-frequency, tonal, nighttime, and cumulative-noise analysis
Review of impacts at residences and other sensitive locations
Independent evaluation of noise studies
Analysis of barriers, enclosures, equipment placement, and other mitigation options
