Watch
for our Educational Seminar in Detroit
Ever
wonder just WHY you need to do a Phase
I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment? Or
a SARA 313 Form R Report, or an annual wastewater
report, or a…well you get the point – why are all
these environmental reports and regulations around
in the first place? We get asked that question a
lot (and have witnessed some heated debates at reporting
workshops that we attend!)
To
help understand the genesis of these reports and
regulations (and not just when they are due and
how to complete them), we are pleased to present
a series of informal educational breakfast seminars
with the goal of:
 | Providing
understanding of the background science behind
certain environmental regulations and programs;
|
| Help
you understand what's going on underground if
you have a soil or groundwater contamination problem,
(or might have one); |
| Give
you a chance to ask burning questions (like how
do they know if it's MY contamination, why can't
I just leave it alone); |
| Just
what the heck do they mean by, ITSL, GSI, bugs,
perched groundwater, RAP (not the music)

Future
dates and locations to be announced

Our
Focus |
We are a specialized environmental
consulting firm working to make a difference. The
consulting firm, founded
in 1993 is located in one of Detroit's historic skyscrapers,
the Guardian Building. Hands & Associates, Inc.
is a leader in providing ISO 14001, environmental
management and air quality tools and services to customers
in the industrial, energy and health services sectors.
Our environmental consulting focus is not on addressing
historical issues, but in developing proactive management
systems that are proven to improve environmental and
safety performance. |

|
What
We Do |
For
some customers, we prepare air permits. For
others, we manage
remediation projects. So are we confined to services
we offer to one
customer? Probably not. Our vision is to work with
customers to develop
the systems that they need to manage the environmental
and safety aspects
of a process.
How do we do this? We provide basic environmental
consulting tasks such as preparing air quality and
other environmental permits (PSD, NSR, TSDF), performing
air dispersion modeling, dealing with waste management
issues, preparing regulatory reports (Form R,
MAERS, etc.), Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site
Assessments, and Baseline Environmental Assessments
(BEAs). These are task-based services and facilities
need these to meet specific regulatory requirements.
We
also provide tools such as SmartForms™ to develop
recordkeeping systems, File-Logic™ to start a formal
Safety or
Environmental Management System (EMS), Operation
Reviews to get
a snapshot view of a Safety or EMS, and Mock Inspections
to test an
EMS.
Finally,
based on our experience in performing the tasks
described above, we assist customers to develop
robust EMSs. The
term "environmental management system"
or EMS is broad and each
business has its own requirement or vision for such
a system. We see
that it can be viewed from perspectives of ISO 14001,
Clean Corporate
Citizen (CCC) or simply, managing the environmental
aspect of an
operation through File-Logic™, or a Stealth EMS™.
