Environmental Engineering Services

In today's environment, good planning must take into consideration a project's effect on natural resources and the impact of existing conditions on the project. With experience dating back to some of the earliest federal environmental regulations, NTH has assisted a broad range of clients with evaluating, constructing and operating facilities, in full compliance with laws and agency protocols. Moreover, we have the expertise to successfully satisfy the expectations of multiple stakeholders by developing forward-thinking, environmentally sound and cost-effective solutions.

NTH has evolved from a specialty geotechnical firm to a full-service multidisciplined geo-environmental firm. This evolution followed a natural progression based on our unique understanding of the subsurface, particularly soil and groundwater conditions. This unique combination of skills has  enhanced our ability to serve our clients during design and construction phases, expediting resolution of issues. 

Some of our Environmental Services include:


Air Quality Services
New and existing manufacturing operations are subject to permitting and compliance regulations. NTH assists clients in obtaining permits, engaging in compliance audit reviews, and resolving compliance issues. We provide comprehensive stack sampling services.

Environmental Compliance Audits
​Our extensive knowledge of environmental regulations delivers comprehensive compliance audit services to assist clients in managing both state and federal environmental regulations for hazardous waste management, wastewater discharge, air emissions, hazardous materials storage, and health and safety issues.


Hydrogeologic Studies
NTH hydrogeologists support permitting and constructing landfills; designing groundwater remediation systems; and construction of large-scale wastewater treatment and disposal systems, lagoon or waste pile closures.

Landfill Engineering Services
NTH assists clients in landfill site selection, design, construction, closure, and post-closure monitoring. Our clients include major landfill companies, municipal landfills, independent landfill operators and design firms.

Environmental Site/Risk Assessments
Our experienced professionals review site conditions and conduct investigations to assess the relative environmental risk associated with the redevelopment of a property. NTH works with industries, developers and regulatory agencies to restore to productive use abandoned industrial sites.

Ecological Services for the Energy Market
Our services range from environmental assessments to ecological studies, EA / EIS assistance, NEPA Assistance, habitat mitigation, and wetland delineations for new combustion turbine plants, renewable energy, and transmission and distribution (linear facilities).

Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Studies
NTH performs comprehensive remedial investigations and feasibility studies, including design recommendations and construction monitoring of the selected remedial alternative. Our modeling capabilities facilitate informed evaluation of alternatives prior to implementation.

Facility Decommissioning
NTH’s experienced professionals provide a wide variety of environmental and engineering services to support facility reassignment and closure. The NTH team also assists the owner in identifying and securing grants and loans in support of a potential site redevelopment.

Storage Tank Management
NTH is experienced with investigation techniques, regulatory reporting requirements, and design and implementation of remedial plans for above and underground storage tanks. We assist our clients in developing inventory control and tank testing plans to maintain performance of existing tank systems.

Project Highlight: 
Humbug Marsh

In the late 1990s, Humbug Marsh was slated for residential development. Thousands of citizens spoke out against the proposed development of this last mile of natural shoreline on the U.S. mainland of the Detroit River. This grassroots opposition eventually led to the acquisition of Humbug Marsh as the cornerstone of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge.
 
Through the donated services of NTH, and other community partners, Humbug Marsh is now accessible to thousands of students with exceptional programming for environmental education and conservation. The preserve is open to the public, providing classes in nature preservation for all ages.
