NEPA
Compliance: Our
staff understands the multiple and diverse environmental and cultural issues
that must be managed as new infrastructure extends into disturbed and
undisturbed environments. We have
developed the expertise to identify, translate and comply with the
environmental requirements that have become increasingly dynamic and stringent. PB s environmental/cultural clearance
process is designed to result in successful project implementation by
addressing issues early so that unnecessary and costly delays are avoided. By use of our expertise in multiple U.S. and
international offices, PB can quickly determine the requirements for GSA s
clients and can identify the unique concerns of project locations.
Environmental Analysis and
Permitting: The Section 404
(wetlands) permit under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a major driver for
the permitting effort, but there are also permitting requirements specified by
other federal, state and local agencies.
Both the Section 404 permit and the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit require evaluation of the project s impacts
on cultural resources and biological resources, including threatened and
endangered species. PB staff are well
versed in all of these requirements.
Cultural, Archaeological, and
Historic Issues: The National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)
requires that project impacts to historic properties (archaeological, historical
and cultural sites) be considered, and implementing regulations (36CFR800) lay
out a course of action for that consideration.
The methodology employed by PB is to begin agency coordination early in
the project, and continue throughout project execution. Conceptual plans are brought to regulatory
personnel for scoping early in a project.
Agreements on levels of effort can be made and documented in advance.
Other NEPA Support and
Services: PB s NEPA projects have also included studies and analysis
of land use, visual impacts, noise impacts, transportation risk, air quality
analysis (radiological and non-radiological) and endangered species evaluation.
Environmental
Program Management: PB is known for its program and project
management services in all aspects of engineering and planning, which includes
our capabilities in the environmental planning services and documentation
service area. PB s knowledge and
experience in this area can be demonstrated by the variety of services we have
performed for various federal agencies.
In
ISO 14000 and Environmental Management System (EMS) support, PB s staff have
provided all phases of work from pre-assessment surveys to training and
implementation of policies and procedures for our industrial clients. PB has found that one of the most effective
means for implementing ISO 14000 has been to integrate requirements with our
client s existing ISO 9000 (Quality) systems.
We have found, depending upon the type of industry, that by implementing
ISO 14000 management systems, safety and health programs incorporate nicely
into our client s overall process management system. PB supports our clients with environmental compliance services
while determining environmental aspects and identifying pollution prevention
measures.
Environmental
Regulation Development: Through our experiences in providing NEPA
and environmental program management for our clients, PB has amassed expertise
in the development of environmental regulations. We have found supporting the development of regulations to be
similar to finalizing an Environmental Impact Statement - the project is
scoped with the stakeholders; data is collected, analyzed, and presented to the
stakeholders in a readily understandable manner and public hearings are documented
and response to comments are provided and tracked. We understand that every phase of the project is documented and a
part of public record past experiences have taught us that use of an internet
web site is a good mechanism to keep the stakeholders informed and to make the
public record readily available. Our
environmental attorneys also support these efforts by providing extensive
research and writing position papers for our clients.
In addition to the consulting services described below, PB also has experience with ISO 14001, EMSs, support, analysis, implementation and auditing.
Environmental Compliance Audits: PB s 700 environmental professionals can support GSA s
customers in determining applicable laws and statutes they can also provide
guidance on how simple changes at their facilities can greatly reduce the
number of applicable laws. Our auditing
capabilities include the full suite of environmental regulations: RCRA, CERCLA,
TSCA, CAA, NPDES, FIFRA, CWA, SDWA, SARA, Coastal Zone Management Act,
Endangered Species Act and state and local regulations. PB staff have literally worked with every
regulatory agency in every state and county in the nation from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State Departments of Environmental
Quality to the Fish & Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management. Through this experience, PB has first hand
knowledge of these regulations and has developed an understanding of the
local interpretations of these laws.
Compliance Management Planning: PB has experience providing clients with information in a
context that allows them to be compliant will the maze of environmental
laws. Another method for dealing with
compliance-related issues is the development of management plans and EMSs. PB can develop an EMS towards ISO 14000
certification or utilize ISO 14000 concepts to meet client-specific needs. We have experience writing plans that detail
EMS implementation and operation; internal auditing and inspection; corrective
action and reporting; and management review and documentation. For those clients that are ISO 9000
certified, PB uses an effective approach of dovetailing the EMS into the
quality system and culture. A result of
working with our clients in developing simple data tracking systems with
pre-existing software and/or systems is that the long-term result of our work
is most effective.
Pollution
Prevention Surveys: Our approach to pollution prevention is
simple listen, evaluate and implement.
We have found that our customers often already have the answer regarding
ways to reduce or eliminate wastes within their facilities once they take the
time to look at their processes in a different light. Educating our clients on ways to do things safer, easier and
cheaper results in waste minimization.
Typical tasks performed by PB include: evaluation of client-specific, local and state pollution prevention goals and objectives; evaluation of current operations; analysis of opportunities for pollution prevention; providing economic evaluation of options; review of organizational alternatives and development of customized training and data management systems for staff to implement and track pollution prevention improvements.
Waste
Characterization Studies: PB s environmental professionals have
performed these services for both private and public clients under both RCRA
and CERCLA. This includes development,
regulatory approval and implementation of work plans through the signing of the
Record of Decision documenting the negotiated clean-up method. A typical RCRA Facility
Investigation/Corrective Measures Study (RFI/CMS) or CERCLA Remedial
Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) would include the following:
Work plans: safety
and health plan (including hazard assessment), Quality Assurance Plan, field
sampling and analysis plan;
Reports:
investigation results and recommendations, risk assessment (ecological, human
health), hazard assessment/interim remedial measures assessment, FS (including
engineering and cost analysis), Environmental Quality Act (EQA); Record of
Decision (ROD);
Community relations:
public meetings and comments to FS, EQA, ROD and
Investigation-derived
waste/materials management.
During
the FS phase, our engineers typically identify potential methods for recycling
or metals recovery, such as having petroleum-contaminated soil processed into
asphalt products, using recovered free petroleum products as supplemental fuel
in kilns, or lead recovery from lead-contaminated soils. We have found that regular communication
with the regulatory community is critical to the success of these
projects. Obtaining buy-in from the
regulators as the project progresses prevents repeating field studies and reports
as well as streamlining the review and comment process. Rather than submitting results to the agency
to accept or reject, PB has found inviting the agencies to provide input in the
planning phases (before the work is performed) invaluable in obtaining consensus
with the results. During the regulatory
comment and response phase, discussing the responses with the regulators prior
to putting them in writing and integrating them into draft documents provides a
way to save numerous and costly iterations of plans, reports, and decision
documents.
Solid
waste management/recycling: PB has provided
economic analysis, conceptual planning and design, environmental permitting,
and complete engineering, design and construction for waste management
facilities. We have served as technical
advisors and provided due diligence assessments for several international banks
on various waste management projects.
Examples of PB s capability in this area include:
Waste-to-energy/fuel
options: Through PB s extensive power engineering
services group, we have developed many innovative systems to turn waste into
energy.
For all these programs, PB s engineers have performed
engineering, regulatory and economic analysis including feasibility studies and
financing documentation. We offer a full range of
environmental engineering services including design of air pollution control
systems, preparation and submission of environmental permitting documents,
testing and evaluation of systems for regulatory compliance, and presentation
and testimony services at public hearings.
Through this
Environmental Advisory Services FSS Contract, PB offers its full range of
services, in accordance with each of the three SINs described in the scope of
work. We can provide these services
