Markets and Services

Environmental projects at the local, state, and federal level take place within highly regulated frameworks. To complete work amid regulatory constraints and avoid costly additional liabilities, companies need an environmental engineering firm that provides an objective and comprehensive approach to projects. E & E offers the full range of turnkey remedial design (RD) and construction management (CM) services and has completed more than $100 million in remedial construction/cleanup work for both private- and public-sector clients. We work closely with clients and regulators to ensure project requirements reflect low-cost, environmentally sound solutions.

McKinstry Creek Stream Restoration, Western New York
Designed a creek restoration program in Cattaraugus County to offset impacts resulting from construction of the Route 219 highway project. Mitigation efforts included enhancement of 2,000 feet and reconstruction of approximately 1,100 feet of degraded stream. The project, which vastly improved overall stream characteristics such as bank stability, riparian corridor, and habitat, is considered by NYSDOT as a success; in addition, it garnered a "Platinum Award for Engineering Excellence" from the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York (ACEC) in 2008.

Landfill Redevelopment - River Point at Sheridan, Colorado
To transform a formerly contaminated Brownfield site in Colorado, into a thriving, 130-acre retail and entertainment district, developed remedial alternatives, designs, plans and permits that support the redevelopment of the Sheridan Landfill. Designed and managed the site-wide characterization program, which was developed and implemented in six weeks. Environmental data was mapped real-time as the data was received from the labs. Developed conceptual designs for methane mitigation for 770,000 square feet of new commercial space, completed engineering and regulatory analysis to determine the feasibility of permitting a new landfill on-site to allow relocation of the municipal solid waste, and developed specifications for implementing the excavation and vapor mitigation remedies.

McCormick and Baxter RD/RA, Oregon
Designed and implemented remedial activities for soil, groundwater, and river sediment contaminated with a variety of wood-treating chemicals at the 58-acre site. Conducted the RI for the soil operable unit, performed a human health risk assessment, and oversaw the removal of contaminated equipment and structures. Designed and implemented the excavation and disposal of 30,000 tons of highly contaminated soil. Oversaw construction of a 16-acre, impermeable cap over the most contaminated portions of the site. Constructed a fully encompassing vertical barrier wall of bentonite slurry on the upland portion of the site.

Hudson River PCB Cleanup, New York
