Environmental Compliance Services for the Public Sector

Environmental Works is proud to partner with some of the biggest names in the private sector nationwide. We have also been steadily expanding our work in the public sector on both the local and federal levels. Take, for example, recently completed tank cleaning projects at military bases in Oregon, Oklahoma, and Greenland. Environmental Works is also one of a select few local contractors to work under the City of Springfield’s Brownfields Job Training Grant. We have participated in a number of major EPA-certified property initiatives in Kansas City and Springfield, Missouri, revitalizing downtown corridors in the process. Overall, Environmental Works is uniquely positioned to address a host of public sector environmental compliance concerns. Read on for more information about our services for the public sector.

Environmental Compliance Services for the Public Sector

Our Public Sector Compliance Clients

Public sector employees are razor-focused on keeping the public safe and engaged. Of course, public safety simply can’t exist without environmental responsibility – which is where we come in. Currently, Environmental Works is engaged in several ongoing contracts that allow us to serve a variety of public entities including the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Transportation, United States Air Force bases, United States Air National Guard bases, and more. These compliance initiatives include everything from fuel systems to the removal and reinstallation of tanks on public property. These projects can also include stormwater management, overall regulatory compliance, and hands-on hazard cleanup – for instance, our team can quickly manage highly contaminated dust. If a public entity in the central United States needs environmental compliance services, Environmental Works is ready to help.

Finally, all of our work is conducted under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. These standards serve as our guiding light during potentially hazardous planning, assessment, and cleanup operations.
