Water and Soil
ATOKA's team of environmental engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, microbiologists, and environmental scientists are fully equipped to help you resolve any water quality, compliance, or permitting challenges you may be facing. Certain projects may necessitate the collection of samples from subsurface waters, surface waters, and/or soils to assess or oversee site conditions. The process typically involves installing groundwater monitoring wells, which includes gathering soil samples and conducting water level and quality assessments. Our certified geologists and hydrogeologists oversee and coordinate the well installation, hiring contractors if necessary. They oversee the sample collection process and ensure that the installation adheres to set standards. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, our qualified professionals are present on-site and prepared to take action to ensure the project progresses smoothly. ATOKA offers comprehensive NPDES permitting services and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), assisting in the creation of effective Best Management Practices (BMP). For any concerns regarding water quality or potential contamination, ATOKA provides thorough site assessments and characterization services. Complemented by an onsite analytical lab for specialized testing, we collaborate with accredited local labs when required.
Air Quality
Air quality is a crucial concern for all of us, and we play a key role in assisting companies in identifying and reducing their emissions to the best of our ability. Our focus is on helping businesses explore and adopt cutting-edge technologies to minimize their pollutant outputs, thereby not only easing regulatory burdens but also safeguarding the quality of the air we all depend on. Generally, air quality regulations target stationary sources capable of emitting federally regulated air pollutants beyond specified thresholds. By collaborating with companies, we ascertain the applicability of these regulations, identify emission sources, and develop tailored strategies to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act. Whether your facility is subject to Title V, NESHAP, (MACT), Minor Source, or other pollutant criteria rules, the ATOKA team stands ready to support you in navigating federal and state permitting processes and meeting ongoing compliance obligations.
