Wefocus on maintaining strong relationships, where clients become friends and where trust isheld to a premium. All of our clients, both small and large, can trust that they will receivenot only the highest quality of service, in full compliance with all necessary regulations, butalso at a price that is reasonable. Profit is earned from our strong commitment to integrityand our vast years of experience in helping clients with practical compliance with thecomplex and detailed federal and state environmental and safety requirements.What is our ExpertiseESR has always specialized in the area of environmental and safety compliance andpermitting. The founder of ESR, having originally worked for the State of Missouri inthese areas, began the firm with a very high level of expertise. Originally, state specificseminars on compliance and permitting were presented in both Missouri and Illinois andmany industrial representatives attended. Some of these people became clients, and we arestill working for many of them today. Currently environmental and safety complianceconstitutes approximately 80% of our services for clients. Part of this includes extensivework in the monitoring of industrial work space air for OSHA chemicals and compliance.Over the years we have also obtained significant expertise with certain types of industries,such as foundries, and also in unique types of waste management challenges, havingworked rather extensively with explosive and reactive waste materials and also dioxin, anextremely toxic chemical discovered at a number of sites in Missouri.What are our AccomplishmentsWhile environmental compliance has always been our area of expertise, we have also hadsignificant success in complex environmental remediations and closure of land basedhazardous waste facilities. ESR was the primary engineering firm for the first clean closureof a land-based hazardous waste management facility (surface impoundment) in Missouri.This occurred after extensive off-site contamination was discovered and remediated, otherpast solid waste/hazardous waste management units (buried hazardous waste drums) werediscovered and remediated, and extensive groundwater monitoring. Another successfulproject was the in-place remediation of significant amounts of solvents at a manufacturingfacility under the Missouri Voluntary Clean-Up Program resulting in the first no-further-action letter in Missouri using the new EPA Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA)guidance and standards.What are our Strategic PartnershipsESR is a small engineering and consulting company with unique expertise. In the projectusing the Risk Based Corrective Action guidance, other strategic partnerships were usedto supplement our expertise. In these situation, we have sought nationwide experts whousually do not work for larger consulting firms, but rather have developed their own firm.FROM A FORTU?E 500CLIE?T: "They listen to their clients and puttheir needs first while working withinthe guidelines of governmentalregulation. (We) do not have ANYreservation in recommending TheEnvironmental Resource Group." "We were extremely pleased with theway various environmental needswere met. . . from routine audits tothe environmental investigation andremediation with negotiationsincluding Federal and State agencies,all portions of the project werehandled in a professional mannerwith the desired results obtained." “The team at ERG did an outstanding job from planning through execution ,and completion of the final documentation {for the RCRA clean-up andclosure}. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Theywill be the first ones that I call on any future project of mine.” Dan Clark, Project Engineer Olin-Winchester HistoryEnvironmental and Safety Resources, Inc. was originally incorporated under the name ofMeiburger Environmental Services, Inc. The founder, Paul Meiburger, having a deepentrepreneurial spirit, started his consulting business as a one-man firm in 1986, after servingfor over five years with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The founding principles for ESRare rooted in integrity and service, both of which work to the benefit of each client. Ourcontinuous goal is to make each of our clients more successful in achieving their managementand environmental goals. This is accomplished by combining an increased level ofenvironmental compliance with reducing the overall environmental costs. The combination ofreduced costs and increased compliance is often believed to be contradictory; however, throughspecialization and experience, ESR is reducing overall costs, increasing total compliance, andproviding a peace of mind to those who are responsible for environmental compliance andmanagement issues at many facilities throughout the Midwest.QUALITY SERVICE A?DSTA?DARDS The success of our business depends largely on therelationships that have been built betweenourselves and our clients.
