EMS IN ACTION

At a major NPL site, EMS drafted the Environmental Assessment document for a major decontamination and decommissioning project, as well as six Categorical Exclusions for radioactive and mixed waste removal and building demolition. EMS prepared Part B permit applications for an RCRA facility in California and interacted with regulators to secure facility permits. EMS staff members also prepared numerous compliance documents, including RCRA closure plans, site treatment plans and EPA Biannual and NESHAP reports.

Regulatory Compliance

 

EMS has many years of experience in drafting documents for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Conducting environmental impact analysis and preparing environmental compliance documents involves multidisciplinary project personnel and regulators. Although time consuming and challenging, projects are not permitted to proceed without these documents.

 

EMS staff members have streamlined the NEPA process and integrated NEPA requirements with CERCLA RI/FS and/or EE/CA documents. Our streamlined approach has resulted in significant cost reduction and schedule acceleration for EMS clients
