COMPLIANCE AND PLANNING

KTA has extensive environmental compliance, permitting, and planning expertise on the following topics: 1) Waste Management; 2) Wastewater, Stormwater, and Air Management and Permitting; 3) Spill Prevention, Spill Reporting, and Emergency Response; 4) Hazardous Material Management; 5) Environmental Assessment and Planning; and 6) Environmental Compliance Auditing.

We have provided these services for various U.S. Department of Defense installations (Navy, Air Force and Army), U.S. Department of Energy facilities, power generating plants, wind and solar farms, paper mills, wood products facilities, aluminum production facilities, various manufacturing facilities, concrete and aggregate facilities and quarries, and national retail corporations. This varied experience allows us to develop regulatory solutions tailored to a particular organization.

KTA realizes compliance, permitting, and planning issues are often difficult to address and involve an element of risk management. Our specialty is to “tell the story” behind the regulation and identify the different options to obtain a successful and technically sound outcome. We take great satisfaction in developing an environmental management program that “really works” and is not just a document or plan stored on a bookshelf.
