One call. The right capabilities.
Your team, assembled.

A missed permit condition or a misread regulation doesn't just risk a fine — it can halt construction, delay operations, or unravel an entire project timeline. CE3 manages the full regulatory lifecycle under NEPA, ESA, CWA, CAA, RCRA, TSCA, FIFRA, and CERCLA: from permitting strategy and environmental impact analysis through agency consultation and long-term compliance monitoring. We've navigated federal, state, and local permitting across dozens of jurisdictions — including Title V and New Source Review — reducing average permitting timelines by 40% through early agency engagement and integrated documentation.

That species survey you postponed? It could cost you a full construction season. CE3's ecologists conduct threatened and endangered species surveys, wetland delineations, habitat conservation planning, and invasive species assessments across terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems. We pair field expertise with GIS-driven analysis so you get defensible data that holds up to agency review — and a clear picture of ecological constraints before they become project constraints.

Every real estate transaction carries subsurface risk — and the cost of discovering contamination after closing is orders of magnitude higher than finding it before. CE3 conducts Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, designs and executes remediation programs, and manages brownfield redevelopment from investigation through regulatory closure. We deploy Phase I ESAs in as few as 10–14 days when timelines demand it, and we've enabled over $180M in development by converting contaminated properties into productive assets.

Asbestos in a renovation scope, lead paint in a portfolio acquisition, a chemical inventory that hasn't been audited in years — these are the risks that become liabilities the moment they're mishandled. CE3 provides building surveys for asbestos, lead, and mold, develops abatement specifications, and oversees remediation to ensure safe completion and reoccupation. We also handle SPCC plan development, chemical management programs, and emergency response planning — all in compliance with OSHA, EPA, and state regulatory requirements.

Waste compliance isn't glamorous — but a RCRA violation is expensive, disruptive, and entirely avoidable. CE3 audits your waste streams, characterizes your materials, evaluates disposal facilities, and designs waste minimization programs that turn cost centers into measurable savings. We handle regulatory reporting so you stay ahead of inspections instead of reacting to findings. Our waste-to-resource strategies focus on material recovery, reuse, and circular economy principles — because the cheapest waste to dispose of is the waste you don't generate.

A compliance calendar and a management system aren't the same thing — and most organizations learn the difference during an audit. CE3 designs, implements, and audits Health, Safety & Environmental management systems aligned with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001 — as standalone certifications or as multi-standard integrated systems. We've achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification for facilities spanning aerospace, steel production, and metal recycling operations — and we build systems with Lean Six Sigma integration so your HSE program drives operational efficiency, not just compliance.

Water touches almost every environmental challenge — stormwater, discharge, wetlands, flood risk — and the regulatory framework is just as layered. CE3 manages water resource issues across the full regulatory and ecological spectrum: NPDES and TMDL permitting, SPCC and SWPPP development, watershed planning, wetland mitigation banking, water quality monitoring, and flood risk assessment. We also address emerging contaminants such as PFAS in water systems and support infrastructure resilience planning through climate risk assessments and drought preparedness.

Some environmental challenges don't fit neatly into a service category — and they're often the ones with the highest stakes. CE3 provides specialized capabilities in PFAS investigation and response, air emission testing and atmospheric dispersion modeling, noise and vibration assessment, vapor intrusion evaluation, and emerging contaminant analysis. We support compliance with MACT, NSPS, and NESHAPs standards, and we serve as expert witnesses and provide litigation support when environmental issues reach the courtroom.

Your board, your investors, and increasingly your regulators want to see a sustainability program. But a glossy report without operational substance won't survive scrutiny. CE3 builds sustainability strategies grounded in measurable outcomes: GHG inventories using internationally recognized protocols, carbon footprint analysis, ESG reporting frameworks, Net Zero pathway development, LEED consulting, and supply chain sustainability assessments.

Managing one site is a project. Managing dozens across multiple jurisdictions is a program — and it demands a different level of coordination, reporting, and oversight. CE3 provides multi-site environmental program management for organizations with complex compliance portfolios. We track regulatory obligations across your entire footprint, coordinate vendors, manage budgets and schedules, and maintain the data platforms — including customized environmental dashboards — that give you a single view of your environmental risk.
