Working with an Environmental Consultant

Your company has an environmental impact to the surrounding plant life, animal life and ecosystem.  An Environmental Consultant can work with your company to ensure a dangerous environment is not created and assist with obtaining Environmental Permits if needed.  Permits can be required for emissions released in the air, soil or water.  Each type of emission can affect the surrounding communities and it is essential to maintain a healthy balance for the health and wellbeing of everyone in the community.

Companies have a duty to the surrounding areas to maintain a safe environment.  Many years ago, a manufacturing facility released harmful toxins into the air.  Acid rain then formed and fell for three days.  During that time period, properties were heavily damaged, people became sick, while others died.  The government then set limitations to the amount and concentration of emissions that could be released to protect the surrounding communities. 

An Environmental Consultant will start by visiting your facility to understand the production process and the type of emissions created during production.  This specialist can then assist with the application process for an Environmental Permit if needed.  The Permit can be obtained from a Local, State, or Federal municipality and can be a very arduous process.  The Environmental Consultant can ensure your company does not have unnecessary delays during the application process that could delay production while waiting for approval.  The most common application is to release air emissions into the atmosphere.  The company is required to install real time monitoring equipment to take measurements of the emissions being released.  The equipment must be carefully selected by the Environmental Consultant and calibrated at regular intervals to ensure accurate readings.
