Environmental Permitting/Reporting
Operations which involve hazardous materials or
petroleum products often require environmental
operating permits from local, state, and federal
environmental regulatory agencies. GEI stays
abreast of environmental legal and regulatory
permitting requirements, and offers our clients
environmental permit preparation and agency
liaison and negotiation services. Our experience
with regulatory agencies allows us to streamline
the permitting process and expedite acquisition
of necessary permits for operations. Examples
of environmental permits GEI has obtained for
clients include: air emissions, industrial wastewater
discharges, industrial and construction
site stormwater discharges, hazardous material
storage, hazardous waste generation, and
hazardous waste treatment. GEI also prepares
environmental reports concerning air and water
discharges, hazardous material storage and
hazardous waste generation.
Environmental, Health and Safety
Programming, Implementation
and Auditing
There are numerous federal, state, and local laws
and regulations imposed upon manufacturers,
research companies, and contractors for the
protection of the environment, the community,
and their employees. Without compliance, a
business can face significant financial and legal
liabilities, as well as potential harm to employees
and community health. To help develop and
ensure a safe working environment, GEI reviews
a client’s existing EH&S programs and provides
recommendations for improvements or additions,
if necessary, to the procedures in place.

GEI will evaluate a client’s EH&S needs based
on applicable laws and regulations, company
culture and resources, and facility or site risk
factors. GEI will then tailor compliance programs
to fit the identified requirements in a costeffective
manner.
GEI can design programs which can be maintained
entirely in-house, or with varying degrees
of our support. Typical EH&S compliance
programs include Injury and Illness Prevention,
Hazard Communication, Personal Protective
Equipment, Medical Waste Management Plans, Hazardous Material/Waste Storage
and Handling, including preparation of Hazardous
Material Business Plan. GEI’s staff will conduct the
required EH&S employee training at our client’s
facility or site, eliminating the time wasted in
sending personnel off-site. Our cost-effective,
client focused approach allows for efficient and
streamlined program implementation.
