Strategic Environmental Compliance (SEC) provides conventional and non-conventional environmental services such as environmental air, water and waste permitting, environmental site assessments, due diligence assessments and multi-media compliance audits. SEC also provides an Environmental Management System (EMS) Development Program including a comprehensive qualitative waste stream analysis of all or some of the main process components. Further, SEC can also provide abbreviated or truncated multi-media compliance audits called a SEC Environmental Compliance Evaluation (ECEcopyright) at about half of the cost of a multi-media compliance audit. In so doing, SEC evaluates high regulatory risk exposure areas and prioritizes those relative to the remaining regulatory areas as a function of regulatory compliance risk.
