Regulatory Compliance & Assessments

Today, the number of laws that regulate industry can be overwhelming; EPA, RCRA, CERCLA, OSHA, to name a few. Facilities managers are often unable to meet so many stringent environmental regulations, and unfortunately, a last minute call due to a compliance violation can be costly. Picking the right environmental partner to quickly assess and respond to these issues will save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. TCGI is Florida's only full-service environmental consulting firm that offers quality, cost-effective environmental solutions in a timely manner.

By being proactive, a facilities manager can keep this myriad of regulatory requirements in check. Proactive organizations striving for environmental compliance must identify and implement Best Management Practices (BMP). TCGI specializes in helping clients create and maintain solid best management practices (BMP). An average client saves up to 20% on related overhead costs when they have a TCGI environmental management strategy in place. TCGI has built a solid reputation by understanding clients' needs before costly investigation activities are undertaken. A preliminary risk evaluation is key to identifying the true cost of ownership.

TCGI has developed a variety of innovative and practical due diligence solutions for buyers, sellers, and lenders that minimize environmental liabilities while maximizing value. From standard Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to asbestos surveys and remediation cost evaluation, TCGI rapidly and accurately assesses potential environmental liabilities that may otherwise lead to a “deal killer.”

TCGI custom tailors its services to fit the level of risk and degree of thoroughness demanded by stakeholders. The company understands the need to control costs and establish an appropriate plan of action suited to the facility operations.

About Phase I & Phase II ESA Processes
The Phase I ESA can provide a good general indication of past and existing site conditions that may indicate a recognized environmental condition (REC). The assessment report provides a review of known and observable conditions that allow a stakeholder to evaluate environmental risks at a relatively low cost. Based on the Phase I ESA, a stakeholder should be able to decide whether to continue with a project, investigate further, or terminate a contract. Potential compliance violations are also found during the assessment, which will clarify the need for the Best Management Practices.

The Phase II ESA evaluates the potential for environmental impairment of a site caused by contamination of soils, groundwater, air, surface water, building materials or other environmental risks on the property or a nearby site. It is commonly needed when visual evidence of a contaminant spill is identified during the site inspection. Likewise, if historical records indicate the occurrence of a spill or release of contaminants, it is prudent to conduct a Phase II investigation to determine the presence and / or extent of contamination.
