We begin with a comprehensive evaluation focused on unique aspects:

• In-depth analysis of the specific environmental challenge
• Identification of unusual factors or complications
• Evaluation of technical requirements and constraints
• Assessment of available methodologies and their applicability
• Review of regulatory implications for specialized approaches
• Consideration of environmental sensitivity factors
• Development of project-specific assessment criteria

These scenarios often require specialized approaches:

• Standard methods have been unsuccessful
• Multiple contaminants or environmental factors
• Unusual materials or substances involved
• Sensitive equipment or structures in affected areas
• Non-standard environmental systems needing service
• Atypical environmental conditions or parameters
• Technical conflicts between different requirements

These compliance situations often benefit from specialized approaches:

• Multiple overlapping regulatory jurisdictions
• Non-standard permit requirements
• Compliance orders requiring technical solutions
• Variance or exception situations
• Properties in specially designated areas
• Requirements for specialized documentation
• Emerging regulatory issues without established protocols
• Demonstration projects for alternative compliance

These scenarios often warrant specialized services:

• Environmental issues affecting critical operations
• Situations with significant financial implications
• Time-sensitive environmental compliance deadlines
• Issues affecting property transactions
• Environmental concerns impacting public safety
• Situations with potential legal ramifications
• High-visibility environmental problems
• Issues affecting organizational reputation

We apply a structured problem-solving approach that begins with thorough research into similar situations and potential solutions. We then develop a custom protocol based on scientific principles, regulatory requirements, and practical considerations. This protocol is reviewed with relevant stakeholders, including the client and sometimes regulatory agencies, before implementation. Throughout the process, we document our approach and results to establish a reference for future similar situations.

Absolutely. For complex projects, we often collaborate with clients' existing environmental professionals, engineers, or consultants. We see our role as providing the specialized field implementation that complements their technical planning and design. This collaborative approach leverages everyone's strengths to deliver the best outcome for challenging environmental situations.

When working in areas without specific regulatory protocols, we take a conservative approach that applies the most relevant existing regulations while incorporating best practices from related fields. We typically consult with regulatory agencies early in the process to establish acceptable parameters. Our documentation is particularly thorough in these situations to demonstrate diligence and technical rationale for the approaches used.

Our specialized equipment inventory includes portable analytical instruments for field assessment, specialized containment systems for unique materials, custom application equipment for treatments, specialized vacuum and pumping systems for difficult materials, remote operation equipment for hazardous environments, and specialized sampling devices. We continuously invest in advanced environmental technologies and can source additional specialized equipment for unique projects.

For emergency situations, we typically begin with an immediate phone consultation to assess the situation and provide initial guidance. Our response time for on-site specialized services depends on the situation's urgency, location, and specific requirements, but we prioritize emergency mobilization and can often respond within hours throughout our Western North Carolina service area. For complex emergencies, we maintain a network of specialized resources that can be activated quickly.
