ESC plans are designed by MTI`s licensed personnel for use by property owners, contractors, and construction site inspectors. These plans provide the information needed for implementation of control measures intended to prevent erosion and off-site sedimentation as outlined, defined, and required by the Environmental Protection Agency and/or local municipalities.

ESAs call for special expertise. MTI`s Environmental Services department is a pioneer in performing environmental site assessments (ESAs) in Idaho. Initially there were no guidelines, protocols, or regulations requiring assessments-much less governing how they were to be performed or what they were to include. With the potential for often overwhelming liability on the part of landowners and financial backers, MTI developed one of the early assessment protocols in Boise to determine and establish effective baselines and quality control guidelines. This protocol has been followed by many locally and is a mirror image of the nationwide protocols established today.
