For decades, Earth Tech has provided a full range of environmental services to the U.S. Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), NAVFAC Atlantic, Engineering Field Activity (EFA) Northeast, EFA Chesapeake, and the Chief of Naval Operations Range Planning Office under many indefinite delivery contracts. These multi-million-dollar, multi-year contracts involve preparation of environmental documentation for Navy and U.S. Marine Corps facilities and activities throughout the Atlantic coastal states from Maine to North Carolina, and Europe. The firm has the expertise to address the environmental effects of land-based infrastructure projects as well as at-sea and range operations and training activities.
Earth Tech’s activities include:
- Preparation of environmental impact statements (EISs), environmental assessments (EAs) and environmental reviews (ERs) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Executive Order 12114.
- Preparation of related environmental documentation in accordance with the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and others.
- Provision of full public involvement and public outreach services.
Typical analyses conducted for NEPA documentation include natural resources, cultural and historical resources, land use and socioeconomics, noise, air quality, hazardous waste, transportation, infrastructure, community facilities and cumulative impacts.
Projects executed under these contracts have ranged from straightforward assignments to unique and complex undertakings, such as the EIS for the Navy’s shipboard and submarine solid waste management worldwide, the EIS for the Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) system in Puerto Rico, the EIS for Increased Flight and Other Operations at the Patuxent River Complex in MD, and the EIS and Master Plan for the Surface Action Group Homeport in Staten Island, NY. Earth Tech also developed the Navy and Marine Corps Range Information System (NMRIS), a GIS-based, secure web site for Navy and Marine Corps ranges throughout the US.
