Environmental Management

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

For over 20 years, ECE has performed Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) in the Mid-Atlantic region. We search for the presence of Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC) that may impact or affect the value of real estate properties during the property transfer process. ECE’s environmental professionals review and analyze background information on the properties, perform site inspections, interview people with knowledge of the property and its vicinity, review environmental records, and document findings in a report prepared for the clients.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment

ECE performs Phase II investigation after Phase I ESA. Phase II involves a more comprehensive site investigation that may include soil boring, monitoring well installation, soil gas surveys, collecting and analysing soil and water samples.

Regulatory Compliance Assistance

Since its formation, ECE has assisted clients in complying with regulations through the review of existing regulations and has kept its clients up to date on the changes and/or revisions made by regulatory agencies.

Waste Minimization

Waste Minimization Studies

ECE has conducted waste minimization studies at different sites. The sites have varied from industrial sites to maintenance facilities.

Hazardous Waste Management

ECE utilizes its in-depth knowledge of regulations to assist clients in meeting hazardous waste management responsibilities.

Technology Feasibility Study & Remediation Design

ECE has many years of practice focused around the evaluation of various technologies to determine applicability, feasibility and efficiency in treating contamination at sites. Proven and emerging technologies are compared to determine which are most cost effective and applicable at cleaning contaminated sites. ECE usually develops site specific technologies as an adjunct to the experience gained from similar sites when choosing applicable site-specific solutions. Our experiences include applying biological methods to treat waste at different sites.

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan

ECE has prepared spill prevention control and countermeasure plans for different facilities in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.We keep up to date information on 40 CFR Part 112 that outlines Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Processes. Environmental personnel visit sites to document existing oil storage areas and the facilities layout.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention

We assist clients in preventing stormwater pollution by developing a plan that outlines necessary and required steps to ensure that stormwater pollution is eliminated or minimized. ECE reviews available options that are site specific to establish the Best Management Practices (BMP).
