For many companies, regardless of size, environmental regulatory compliance can be a headache. Beyond the usual need to comply with regulations when doing business, environmental regulations may rely on a degree of scientific understanding that may not be realistic for those outside of scientific disciplines. A constantly shifting and evolving landscape of regulations requires companies to dedicate extensive time and money to staying current, understanding their obligations, and bringing their projects into compliance. Business leaders are well aware that the cost of noncompliance can be significant, with the constant threat of legal and financial repercussions, including fines and penalties. Achieving full compliance can be a complex and uncertain process.
Experts like those at L&M, who are former regulators as well as environmental scientists, provide invaluable support in maintaining compliance. Our team offers guidance on interpreting regulations and implementing best practices to help companies stay compliant, reduce their environmental impact, and minimize liability risks. We can also assist companies in identifying potential environmental risks, develop risk management plans, and improve their environmental performance by providing training and resources to reference for those on the ground working on the project, as well as those directing it from their offices.
Our services focus on two main areas: compliance with air, waste, and water regulations, and understanding and mitigating the impact of projects on protected species and habitats.
