Cornerstone Environmental Group, LLC services

Cornerstone provides air quality services to clients across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors. Offering air quality services from project design support through permitting, to post-permit compliance, our skilled air quality staff supports clients through an entire process. Our air quality services personnel include a diverse mix of mechanical, chemical, civil, and environmental engineers, working alongside air pollution scientists with a depth of experience in all areas of air quality services. Many of our air quality personnel have both consulting and regulatory experience.  Our approach includes extensive hands-on experience in examining production processes from the perspective of emissions and regulatory compliance.

Whether the media is land, waste, groundwater, surface water, or air, Cornerstone’s skilled staff is there to help clients maintain site compliance. Across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors, Cornerstone provides the full suite of environmental planning and compliance services, including identification of environmental compliance requirements, preparation of environmental impact statements to support facility permitting, transactional services, routine compliance reporting, and negotiations with regulatory agencies.

Cornerstone provides cost-effective groundwater and other subsurface-related services at operating and inactive landfills, industrial facilities, abandoned hazardous waste sites, and commercial facilities. Tailored to accommodate the site’s size and complexity, Cornerstone can address every phase of a project, from initial site characterization through post-remediation compliance monitoring.

Cornerstone’s engineers and scientists continue to be at the forefront of comprehensive landfill facility planning, design, permitting, construction, operations, closure, monitoring and compliance. While also developing and implementing new approaches to reduce, reuse and recycle, landfill operations remain the backbone of solid waste management. For the foreseeable future, landfills are a necessary component of the waste management strategy, backstopping new initiatives and providing safe disposal of materials that cannot be recovered through other methods.

Cornerstone offers a wide range of operations and maintenance (O&M) services at active and closed landfills and landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facilities throughout the United States that includes O&M of landfill gas collection and control systems, leachate and condensate collection and pumping systems, and groundwater monitoring networks. From overseeing construction, to conducting environmental monitoring, to operating control systems, our clients rely on us to ensure efficient, safe and productive operations and to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

Practical experience helps clients define exit strategies. Long before Superfund (CERCLA) and similar state programs were enacted, Cornerstone personnel were developing cost-effective remediation strategies for our clients. Our practical experience and regulatory knowledge provides our clients with remedial strategies that work. Let us help you negotiate the remediation process to limit your liability and execute effective exit strategies.

Site and civil design features are critical elements of any development, but are often overlooked unless they are causing a problem. Cornerstone’s experts work with clients to ensure the proper layout and design so crucial to providing smooth and safe access, properly managing stormwater to prevent flooding, installing needed site utilities, and meeting local planning and zoning requirements. Our site and civil design solutions are integrated into the overall design of the facility and include innovative ways to maximize the facility’s operational flexibility, while complying with regulatory requirements. We look for opportunities to incorporate civil design features that make efficient use of scarce resources and provide environmental benefits.

Helping clients maximize operational and asset efficiency, profitability, safety, and durability for the materials they manage – including emerging alternative waste conversion technologies that find higher value and beneficial uses.
