A state-of-the-art covered aerated static pile (CASP) facility, designed by SCS Engineers and located next to Kern County’s Shafter-Wasco Landfill in California, can divert 100,000 tons of organic waste from landfills annually. This facility is far more than just another improvement to Kern County’s solid waste infrastructure—it is a cornerstone of its commitment to sustainability and response to landmark legislation driving the state’s organics diversion and zero-waste initiatives.

SCS Engineers, in collaboration with the U.S. EPA, developed a time-based Computational Pressure (CP) Model to improve Class VI well permitting for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). Unlike traditional methods that assume immediate hydrostatic equilibrium, this model calculates brine migration as a function of time and overpressure, providing a more realistic, site-specific approach to defining the Area of Review.

Advancing solutions to the environmental challenges of data centers
Already numbering over 5,000 and growing rapidly, US data centers house vast concentrations of networked computer servers that support data science, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and our overall use of the internet. Major environmental concerns include direct emissions of air pollutants from routine and emergency power generation, cooling systems, noise, increased water use, zoning issues, waste management, energy transmission, and new power plant construction. States and local agencies seek to reduce local impacts and resolve land-use conflicts while still promoting economic development.
The Dulles Technology Corridor or “Data Center Alley” in northern Virginia is one of the world’s leading data center markets, with over 25 million square feet of data center operations that handle an estimated 70% of the world’s internet traffic — and is the perfect place to hold our first conference on this emerging topic.
Discover technical pathways to more efficient, lower-impact data centers.
The technical program will focus on efforts to reduce adverse environmental and public health impacts of data centers and improve data center sustainability and energy efficiency. Environmental professionals, consultants, local and state managers, and researchers should attend to discover new solutions to reduce the environmental burden of this challenging industry.
SCS Engineers Presents Navigating Environmental Permitting Challenges for Data Center Development
Data center projects face a range of environmental permitting challenges that demand early coordination among developers, consultants, and regulatory agencies. Key factors include air permits for backup generators, stormwater and wastewater management, and compliance with local land use and noise requirements. Through proactive planning and ongoing engagement with regulators, project teams can deliver timely, compliant, and environmentally responsible results. Presenters include John Tsun, David Greene, and Doug Latulippe.

Phased by Design: Aligning Data, Dollars, and Decisions in Planning
2026-01-29 13:00 - 14:00 | SCS Webinar
Phased by Design, our first 2026 live webinar, unpacks a real case study from the City of High Point, North Carolina, showing how a phased, financially grounded procurement process can produce more targeted, practical, and cost-effective outcomes for solid waste management planning.
Rather than relying on broad RFPs that result in generic, full-scope proposals, the City intentionally sequenced its planning process to diagnose financial and operational challenges up front. That first phase informed every decision that followed, allowing for a more focused scope and budget.
Hear directly from Melinda King, Assistant Public Works Director, High Point, NC, and Vita Quinn, SCS’s National Expert on Utility Finance and Rate Studies, as they translate lessons from solid waste into a broader City procurement strategy.
Watch Phased by Design: Aligning Data, Dollars, and Decisions in Planning

Why This Matters
Procurement teams often write an RFP because it’s on the annual calendar, and there may be pressure to move quickly. But they don’t always work alongside the utility or department that needs the project. Consultants then respond to what’s written in the RFP. If the scope wasn’t written to address the issues, the proposal won’t address them either, resulting in plans that are broader than required, more expensive than necessary, and harder to implement. A targeted phased approach starts with procurement and sets realistic expectations for project elements and the timeline to project success. Consultants bid more specifically, solutions get sharper, and the final plan is easier to execute.
Who Should Attend or Watch?
The case study is based on a solid waste management plan, but the process can apply to any business, municipality, utility, or public works department.
What You Will Learn
How to consider underlying financial and operational drivers before releasing your initial RFP, so your procurement is informed, not speculative. How to scope feasibility and risk early through a feasibility analysis phase, reducing cost exposure and improving bidder differentiation.
How a phased implementation design logically sequences deliverables so each step earns its scope from the one before it.
How tailored procurement can help reduce planning costs and provide a clearer path to implementation.
You’ll Walk Away With
A repeatable procurement framework that integrates financial analysis, operational feasibility, and long-term strategy into a phased project roadmap.
A clearer understanding of how to structure scopes that protect your budget while still attracting innovative and differentiated consultant solutions.
