Energy & Utilities
.
Powering essential infrastructure with expert utility environmental planning, permitting, and long-term compliance support.
Energy and utility operations—such as power generation, gas distribution, and water infrastructure—operate under some of the most stringent environmental regulations due to their potential impacts on air quality, water resources, and soil. Operators must navigate complex frameworks like the Clean Air Act (for emissions), Clean Water Act (for stormwater and wastewater discharges), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (for hazardous waste management). As a trusted utility environmental consultant, CORE Environmental Consultants helps energy and utility clients stay compliant, avoid costly violations, and implement responsible environmental practices that protect both the public and the planet.
For energy providers and utility operators, EPA regulations require careful attention to environmental permitting—especially for stormwater discharges. Many utility facilities must obtain coverage under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) and implement Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) to manage runoff and prevent pollution. Noncompliance can result in steep penalties; for instance, violations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) related to hazardous waste can lead to fines in the tens of thousands of dollars per day.
As a leading utility environmental consultant, CORE Environmental Consultants helps power, gas, water, and telecom clients proactively manage compliance and environmental risk. We understand the complex permitting conditions, monitoring protocols, and reporting obligations that utilities face under federal, state, and local regulations.
