Environmental Compliance Audits - Pyramid performs environmental compliance audits to evaluate a facility`s compliance with internal controls and external regulations. The audits may include pre-audit questionnaires, site visits, facility inspections, interviews, and detailed documentation. We will identify regulatory, economic, and legal liabilities, and develop a custom program for risk reduction, asset protection and enhancement, compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and internal quality controls.

When an emergency release is discovered or suspected, Pyramid Environmental emergency response teams can be on the scene in hours. Our field teams quickly evaluate the extent of environmental impairment and take quick action to minimize damage.

Phase I ESA`s - Risks are real - there is no way of eliminating them. However; risks can be managed by relying on a qualified firm, like Pyramid, to perform an Environmental Site Assessment or Phase I assessment. The technical aspects of a Phase I usually are pursued in stages with each step being based on information obtained from the one before. The initial stage of Phase I is commonly comprised of a historical review of the site.

Pyramid offers Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) assistance in compliance consulting with 40 CFR 112 SPCC Plans.  Since 1973, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has used the SPCC plans as a cornerstone of its strategy to prevent oil spills from reaching our nations waters. Owners and operators of certain Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST) must have and implement an SPCC Plan. This plan assures that a spill from an AST is contained and countermeasures are established to prevent an oil spill that could reach navigable waters. A spill contingency plan is also required as part of the SPCC plan if a facility is unable to provide secondary containment. An SPCC Plan is unique to each facility, describing the particular configuration of the sites AST`s as well as the site`s Underground Storage Tanks (UST). All SPCC Plans list whether or not a site complies with the set of general requirements under the 40 CFR 112.

The condition of underground storage tanks (USTs), and how assessments and releases are handled can make a tremendous difference in a company`s bottom line. Releases from tanks affect soil and groundwater and can severely impact the value of real property assets. Pyramid Environmental is a leader in providing comprehensive underground and aboveground storage tank services. Whether for property transfers or construction projects, transportation and facility operations or the petroleum industry, Pyramid Environmental has considerable experience in all facets of environmental storage tank management.
