When August Mack Environmental
implements eCAP (Compliance Assurance Program) at your facility,
you are not getting a single environmental compliance consultant
but rather a whole team in the background. No one person can
be an expert at everything, thus depending upon the issue, the
Account Manager for your facility will tap into the expert
resources within August Mack.
A facility’s Environmental Manager is tasked with ensuring compliance with the ever-changing rules and restrictions of today’s environmental policies. If this is a new role it is easy to get overwhelmed and not know where to begin. The following are typically regulated environmental policies and some of the common violations found in these areas.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to protect and enhance

Join us on December 13th for a
webinar describing what August Mack Environmental’s Compliance
Assurance Program has done for more than 100 facilities in the past

the day,...

We had a two-hour meeting with our client to review potential changes in the operation of the plant potentially resulting in modifications in the existing air permit. After the meeting, we toured the facility and our client briefed me on the processes and operations of the plant. It was an awesome experience for me to be able to sit in for the day and learn from the best.

Last week I have been updating the compliance assistance
program (eCAP®) website for our clients. The
website maintains the client’s documents for each module they have
in their eCAP® program. I cleaned up
individual client webpages by stacking old documents and organizing
the newer documents. This way our clients have easy access to their
compliance documents without having to mess with organizing them on
their own.

Mack’s clients for their monthly storm water pollution prevention
plan (SWPPP) and spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC)
inspections. The facility we were inspecting is a job shop iron
foundry that produces many different types of castings. I was able
to walk through the facility during production hours and follow the
project manager as she went through the routine inspection. This
was a great opportunity for me to...
