POWER Engineers, Inc. services

Zephyr provides a variety of geologic and hydrogeologic services necessary to support our client`s needs. Our experienced geoscientists are licensed to practice in several states, including but not limited to Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida and Wyoming. The geoscientists at Zephyr have the technical knowledge and capabilities needed to help our clients determine the feasibility of groundwater supply development, identify geologic hazards that could potentially impact land development decisions, and identify sensitive features (geologic and/or manmade) that hydraulically connect surface and karst aquifers. The sound geologic knowledge of our geoscientists can also assist our clients in the exploration and evaluation of their property or prospective property for aggregate, clay and stone mining, and quarrying.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) allows us to manage, visualize, and analyze spatial data. Zephyr has comprehensive knowledge of GIS and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and uses this expertise to process, enhance, and illustrate our client`s project data and objectives. Whether it is a simple task of delineating the edge of a wetland, mapping the nearest sensitive receptors to your proposed site, or preparing exhibits for a contested case hearing, GIS and GPS animate spatial data making it easy to visualize and communicate simple to complex datasets.

Proactive employee health and safety programs and issues are an important priority for our clients. Zephyr is pleased to offer existing and future clients responsive, high-quality, customized, value-added, cost effective health and safety services. From written programs to workplace assessments to staffing on-site assistance, Zephyr is well qualified to offer expertise and assistance.

Zephyr provides a wide range of Natural Resources services to a variety of public and private clients. Our staff is experienced in the fields of ecology and regulatory permitting. We have extensive experience in conducting field investigations, monitoring, and document preparation that complies with the Clean Water Act, and Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. We are capable of evaluating the needs of our clients and providing innovative and cost effective solutions. Our objective is to provide quality services in an efficient manner and help our clients reach their planning and permitting goals.

Air quality permitting is most often a complicated process and has become even more so in today`s climate of rapid regulatory change and uncertainty. At Zephyr, we simplify this task by helping our clients make sense of the complex regulations and by charting effective and efficient courses of action for meeting their air permitting objectives. Our engineers and scientists, many with over 20 years of air quality experience, have prepared more than 2,000 approved permit applications and registrations.

Zephyr`s staff stays abreast of the latest available emissions control technologies and regulatory control requirements and routinely assists its clients in selecting the most appropriate technologies for controlling their emission sources.

Zephyr`s meteorologists are recognized experts in atmospheric dispersion modeling and air quality monitoring data evaluations and are skilled in helping clients understand the process of modeling and the interpretation of modeling results. We have developed, tested, and gained regulatory agency approval for model algorithms, published articles on atmospheric dispersion modeling techniques and applications, presented papers on dispersion modeling topics at technical conferences, taught college-level dispersion modeling courses, and presented expert testimony on modeling issues. Using EPA Guideline models such as CALPUFF and AERMOD, as well as specialized use models like VISCREEN, SLAB and ALOHA/CAMEO, Zephyr`s modeling professionals provide a variety of modeling services.

Banking and trading of volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NO_X) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions can be profitable and provide flexibility with applicable regulations. At Zephyr, we can assist you in generating, purchasing, selling Discrete Emission Reduction Credits (DERC), and Mass Emission Cap and Trade (MECT) allowances. Additionally, we can help you to meet the requirements of the Highly Reactive Volatile Organic Compound (HRVOC) Cap and Trade Program. Our staff can also assist with questions about the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR).

At POWER, we take food safety seriously. Our top priority is to help our food clients protect their clients – the consumer. We understand the complexities of the food industry – the unpredictable nature of ingredients, the unique characteristics of each product, and the importance of uncomplicated sanitation processes.

Construction permits come with mountains of environmental regulations, and our experts can help you make sure your project is meeting all applicable Federal, state, and local environmental regulations so you can stay on schedule and within budget.
