Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc. (ECT) services

The best way to improve environmental performance is by implementing a robust all-inclusive Environmental Management System (EMS). Goals achieved by implementing an EMS include: continued environmental compliance, promoting the efficient use of energy, expanding efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle waste products and serving as good community partners. System implementation is a continually improving process of setting goals for environmental improvement, developing policies and procedures to meet those goals, evaluating performance, developing corrective actions and performing management reviews.

The Environmental Asset & Compliance Management System (EACMS) is an integral component to the EMS work flow. This tool can facilitate the data management for any type of linear or site-specific system. The EACMS is a multi-user, Web-enabled database and map which can be customized to meet a client’s needs. The EACMS can provide a wide range of base map data and client specific data. Map data includes site or equipment locations, natural features, infrastructure and aerial images. The client-specific data includes PDF versions of reports, maps and plans. Development of parameter-driven queries can provide the user access to data through the system as well. These queries provide instant and up-to-date answers to some of the most common status requests. The end result is a multifunctional, Web-based system that provides the user with tools for efficient auditing, reporting, planning, and permitting.

ECT performs environmental compliance audits to provide an independent evaluation of our client’s compliance status with applicable statutory and regulatory environmental requirements in accordance with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations. The environmental audit includes a review of the applicability and status of compliance (whether by regulation, permit or other commitment).
