Environmental

Ways to promote a cleaner, safer and healthier environment has been an important, yet ongoing issue. That is why Augusta Engineering is committed to their efforts of performing work in the safest, most efficient and earth friendly way.
Our Environmental Engineers continually work to develop and design equipment to create and help maintain a clean environment. Their work is not limited to one specific area; they perform surveys, studies, field investigations, site assessments and modeling to develop ways of reducing energy consumption and ensure we have pure water, air and soil.
Our EE group performs work in the following areas:

  • Air Quality
  • Groundwater Modeling
  • Water Supply
  • Hydrologic Modeling & Design
  • Noise
  • Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) Compliance
  • Storm Sewer Design & Wastewater Management
  • Subsurface Remediation
  • Land Management

The following was taken from the 2003 released, Environmental Protection Agency’s “Draft Report on the Environment”

  • Our air is cleaner. Air pollution has declined 25% over the past 30 years, and it declined while we experienced large increases in the U.S. population, gross domestic product and vehicle miles traveled.
  • Our drinking water is purer. In 2002, 94 percent of Americans were served by drinking water systems that meet our health-based standards – an increase of 15 percent in the last decade.
  • Our land is better-protected. Releases of toxic chemicals have declined by 48% since 1988, and we have significantly improved the way we manage our wastes.
  • The health of the American public is generally good and improving. People are living longer than ever before. Infant mortality has dropped to the lowest level ever recorded in the United States.
