Environmental and Regulatory

Compliance
• FOH has the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your agency meets all environmental regulatory

mandates.

Federal agencies, like private industries, must comply with all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

requirements as well as state, tribal, and local regulations. The EPA’s standard for Federal compliance

holds that Federal facility environmental compliance should equal or exceed the rest of the regulatory

community and that Federal facilities should lead the way in minimizing environmental contamination

and its impact on public health.

As such, Federal agencies are expected to develop sound environmental programs that will not only

ensure long-term compliance, but will also act proactively and set goals for pollution prevention and

waste minimization. Additionally, agencies must have provisions in place for the quick clean up of

hazardous and radioactive waste.

• .Legislation such as the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) has placed an increased burden on Federal

agencies and increased the workload associated with environmental programs. The law that has had the

greatest impact upon Federal facilities is the Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA). This law requires Federal

facilities to comply with all applicable Federal, State, interstate, and local solid and hazardous waste

requirements.

FOH’s can help your agency’s environmental compliance personnel develop highly effective environmental

protection programs. FOH’s professionals can help clarify legal requirements by providing comprehensive

consultation designed to ensure compliance

Environmental impact studies
• .Using a multidisciplinary approach, FOH can conduct comprehensive environmental impact assessment

studies that will determine the effects your agency’s developmental projects will have on surrounding

environments. The assessments will evaluate the potential impact to air, water, soil, flora and fauna, as well

as demographics.
Environmental Site Assessments
Phase I and Phase II
• FOH can conduct Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to determine if potential contamination exists on

an abandoned site. FOH can also conduct Phase II Environmental Site Assessments to further investigate

areas of concern that are identified in Phase I assessments and determine the true liability associated with a

site.
Water / Air Quality Testing
• FOH can conduct analyses of drinking water and ambient air using analytical methods approved by the EPA,

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National Institutes of Occupational

Safety and Health (NIOSH).
