Who we are

History

EcolSciences, Inc., was founded in 1973 in response to the growing need for responsible environmental planning, as mandated by NEPA, The National Environmental Policy Act. EcolSciences specializes in performing environmental and ecological investigations relating to permit acquisition and regulatory compliance, demonstration of "due diligence", waste management, impact analysis, mitigation and remediation. EcolSciences' strength is a proficiency in current environmental laws, regulations and policies, coupled with a practical problem-solving approach to analyzing the environmental consequences of projects.

EcolSciences circa 1991

EcolSciences' interdisciplinary staff of environmental engineers, geologists, biologists, and scientists has extensive experience in a diversity of studies related to biological assessment, hazardous materials management, site remediation and brownfields redevelopment. EcolSciences has performed environmental assessments and has acquired appropriate permits and approvals under a wide variety of federal, state, regional, and local jurisdictions. EcolSciences' staff is experienced in the delivery of expert testimony and has testified in public hearings, Superior Court, Administrative Law proceedings, and county, regional and municipal planning boards.

EcolSciences is actively involved in the redevelopment of former industrial and underutilized properties, often referred to as Brownfields Redevelopment. In addition, as the demonstration of "due diligence" has become a lending industry standard, EcolSciences has completed numerous Phase I environmental audits and follow-up Phase II studies to clarify the level of environmental risk and liability associated with past and current practices at a particular site or facility. The majority of EcolSciences' senior staff involved with site remediation activities are NJDEP Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRP).
