Professional Services – The services described below provide examples of CES’s capabilities. The list is not complete. If you have a situation you would like to discuss, do not hesitate to call.
Site Assessment / Investigation – CES performs “Phase I” site assessments as required by lending institutions for commercial real estate transactions to identify potential environmental liabilities (buyer due diligence). If environmental liabilities are identified, CES can provide plans and implement “Phase II” assessments to identify the extent of the problem, as well as “Phase III” assessments to further define the problem and develop remedial plans and costs.
Environmental Sampling and Testing – CES will arrange for installation of soil borings and monitoring wells as needed to collect soil, groundwater, and air samples to assess the extent of environmental impacts at your site. CES works closely with certified testing laboratories to provide the proper analytical information to define the impacted area.
Remediation – CES will develop the most cost effective plan to “clean-up” your environmental problem and eliminate liability according to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. All remedial options will be considered in developing the best suited solution.
Primary Consulting – CES will be there from start to finish as your confidant to inform you of environmental regulations that pertain to your situation, potential liabilities, and options that you may have in dealing with any given situation. We will serve as your liaison in dealing with regulatory agencies and will keep you informed as the project progresses.
Permitting – CES can handle all of your permitting needs such as tank installation, mining, obstruction and encroachment, wastewater and stormwater discharge (NPDES), waste management, oil and gas activities as well as erosion and sediment control (E&S) plans.
Emergency Plans – CES can produce plans required by federal and state agencies such as Spill Prevention, Contingency and Countermeasure (SPCC), Facility Response Plans (FRP), and Environmental Emergency Response (EER).
Storage Tank Activities – CES will complete the required paperwork and arrange for closure of your storage tank systems according to applicable regulations. If the release of a controlled substance has occurred, CES will implement emergency clean-up actions, perform sampling and testing to define the extent of environmental impacts above applicable clean-up standards, develop remedial action plans, and provide reports to regulatory agencies.
Waste Management – CES can characterize any waste material and obtain approval for disposal. We also arrange for the most cost effective transportation and disposal option for any wastestream at fully licensed and permitted treatment and disposal facilities anywhere in the country for liquids and solids including hazardous and residual materials.
Brownfields Redevelopment – CES can lead your company through all phases of permitting, testing, and remediation required to redevelop former industrial sites.
Project Management and Oversight – CES will act as your representative on any environmental project involving multiple disciplines and responsible parties. We provide on-site presence and recordkeeping to protect your interests along with concise reports of field activities.
Expert Witness Testimony – CES can serve as your technical representative in environmental matters where litigation is likely to occur. We can provide advice on potential severity of environmental liabilities and how your company may be affected.
Mold, Radon, and Asbestos Evaluation – CES can provide testing and reports describing the environmental health and potential liabilities at your facility.
Environmental Audits – CES can provide a detailed inspection of your facility and compile a concise listing of potential environmental liabilities and financial implications to the value of your facility.
Invasive Species Control – Targeted identification and treatment of invasive plant species using industry-approved herbicides and best management practices. Focused on early detection and long-term suppression to protect native ecosystems.
Vegetation Management – Control of unwanted vegetation in rights-of-way, utility corridors, and managed lands to improve access, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Herbicide Application – Precise application of herbicides using foliar spray, cut-stump, and basal bark methods. All treatments follow label requirements and state regulations to ensure effectiveness and environmental safety.
Site Surveys & Mapping – Field-based surveys to identify vegetation types, invasive species presence, and density. Data is collected using GPS/GIS technology to create accurate maps and inform treatment plans.
GIS & Data Collection – Use of advanced mapping tools (ArcGIS, GPS-enabled devices) to track treatment areas, monitor progress, and provide detailed reporting and visual documentation.
Environmental Compliance – All work is performed in accordance with state and federal regulations, including proper chemical handling, application procedures, and documentation requirements.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) – Strategic approach combining chemical, mechanical, and preventative methods to manage pests and vegetation efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.
Right-of-Way Maintenance – Vegetation control services for pipelines, roadways, and utility lines to maintain clear access and meet operational and safety requirements.
Aquatic & Wetland Treatment – Selective control of invasive species in sensitive environments using approved aquatic herbicides and application methods designed to protect water quality.
Monitoring & Follow-Up – Ongoing site monitoring to evaluate treatment effectiveness and identify regrowth. Includes recommendations for additional treatments if necessary.
Spray Logging & Reporting – Detailed documentation of all applications, including chemical use, rates, locations, and environmental conditions. Reports are provided to ensure transparency and compliance.
Custom Treatment Plans – Development of site-specific strategies based on vegetation type, infestation level, and project goals to maximize efficiency and long-term results.
