Environment
Our environmental compliance assessment provides a framework to help companies address how the environmental landscape is changing. We help companies understand and manage federal and state regulations and provide asset management solutions for a range of issues.
Utilities and other fossil generation companies face significant and increasing long-term challenges. One of the more important challenges is how to respond to rapid changes in greenhouse gas rules, legislation, and compliance requirements and how to cope with the significant number of EPA rules.
Environmental compliance has evolved from permit and license adherence to a significant component of enterprise public relations and, if properly managed, the source of a competitive advantage. Air quality compliance remains a significant focus area, but emerging water and solid waste regulatory issues are growing, which increases the complexity of compliance activities.
ScottMadden has applied its industry knowledge and experience to develop several key methodologies ranging from strategy and implementation plans for managing the significant wave of EPA environmental rules, to conducting detailed assessments and risk management audits of generating environmental programs.
We have experience and qualifications in managing the new wave of coal combustion residual rulings and also in management of large arrays of environmental assets, from forestry, rivers, lakes, and land resources.
