Why Your Business Needs Environmental Consulting

Written by Kurtz Bros. | Mar 29, 2018 8:22:28 AM

Are you developing a piece of land, changing your business's landscaping significantly, or planning new construction? Before you begin drawing up the plans, bring an environmental consulting service onto your team. Find out how you can save time, stress, and money by starting the project with a qualified environmental consultant from Kurtz Bros.  

Care for the Community 

In some cases, a particular construction project or development plan might have a negative impact on the surrounding land and the people or animals who live nearby. Ecological systems and local life cycles can be very delicate, and a significant modification of the area can throw them completely out of balance.  

Before you begin a large-scale project, call in an environmental consulting service. We offer such services at Kurtz Bros., Inc. and we're always happy to help you study the area, foresee potential pitfalls, and adjust your plan so that your development won't negatively impact the community in which you're building.  

Conformity with Current Federal Requirements 

The federal government is notorious for dishing out lengthy, complex requirements for businesses to follow. While the reasons behind those requirements may be good ones, it can be tough to understand and adhere to them all. Having an environmental consultant at your side makes your life much easier.  

Kurtz Bros. environmental consulting services can help you conform with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We'll explain the steps you need to take and assist you with developing workable strategies to get your business and your development plans in line with those requirements.  

Adherence to State Requirements and Standards 

In addition to federal regulations, your business also needs to conform to state and local regulations. Kurtz Bros. can help you understand the parameters set forth by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), as well as the guidelines enforced by your state, county, and local governments.  

Additional Training in Responsible Environmental Management 

Some environmental consultants offer extra aids for clients, in addition to regular consulting services. At Kurtz Bros., we offer specialized training, like our course in stormwater management, which is LA CES accredited. To obtain more information about the course, including available times and locations, call 216.986.7000. A course like this one can help your business learn to prevent erosion and pollution issues, which can be costly to repair or eradicate.  

Financial Savings for Your Business 

It's in your business's best interest to hire an environmental consulting service. If you don't, you might invest thousands of dollars in a project, only to discover that you have to make major alterations in order to conform to federal and state regulations. You could make a major misstep in calculating your impact on the local ecology, resulting in more fees, more costly changes, and possibly compensation to local residents impacted by your project.  

Start your project the right way, with help from Kurtz Bros. and our environmental consulting team. You'll have the information and research you need at the very beginning of the project, so you'll be able to design systems and structures that have a lower impact on the land and conform to existing regulations. Not only will you save money, but you'll have more goodwill towards your company throughout the community— and that's good for your company's future health and growth.
