Our Approach

Environmental compliance is a process. In a perfect world, the process is quick and inexpensive... but the world is not perfect. Consequently, the uncertainty of the environmental compliance process causes stress for our clients, and it is ESA's duty to minimize this stress within the limits imposed upon us, along with maintaining (or achieving) environmental compliance in the most practical fashion possible.

ESA is normally retained to keep our clients compliant or bring them into compliance. So, when a potential client comes to ESA, they do so because they have to, not because they want to. Being sensitive to this, ESA first determines the client's circumstances and what professional environmental service they require. Are they involved in a property sale? Is there a mold issue? Is this a simple request for a Phase I? Determining the client's circumstance is part of this all-important first step.

When ESA has identified what prompted the client's inquiry, we then ask a series of other questions and, if available, we review other environmental reports or studies performed on the subject property. Armed with all this information, ESA will then design a customized program to bring the client into compliance and presents it to the client in the form of a proposal. All this work is normally performed at no charge to the client.

Once the client retains ESA, the real work begins. ESA assigns a project manager who has substantial experience working on similar projects. Our senior staff is so highly experienced (ESA's four senior managers have collectively worked on more than 20,000 projects) that the chances are very slim that the client's project requires a set of skills that ESA has not brought to bear on countless other projects. This combination of focus on the client's unique situation, customizing our approach to the client's needs, and executing the work with highly seasoned veterans makes ESA a truly remarkable value and excellent choice to bring virtually any environmental project to closure.
