The oil and gas industry is growing steadily in the United States and Canada, and environmental and regulatory challenges are growing steadily with it. Due to public concerns about the industry’s potential effects on global climate change and sources of fresh groundwater, regulators are responding with significant new environmental laws. For instance, Federal regulators are considering implementing more stringent methane leak detection and repair requirements, and states such as California have adopted new underground injection control measures (Senate Bill 4).
Our core capabilities are in solid and hazardous waste management, landfills, energy, remediation, and environmental compliance. With over 35 years of experience in the permitting and monitoring of oil and gas facilities, SCS Engineers provides a wide array of services to help the industry address these emerging issues. As new environmental regulations continue adoption, facilities, resource extraction, operations, and land development will face a growing challenge of maintaining comprehensive compliance with limited in-house resources.
