At WHB, our services are focused on wastewater and stormwater management, water and air pollution control, recycling, and waste disposal. We also have an active permitting and compliance practice supporting our various client segments. With the increasing recognition of potential environmental impacts due to land development and infrastructure construction, and therefore subsequent regulation, the permitting and compliance aspects of any project are critical both in the design and construction phases.
WHB staff have a broad range of skills and abilities to service our clients' needs and have also pioneered innovative approaches to their permitting and compliance requirements. Staying within adopted rules and regulations, but applying common sense and a desire for efficiency, we have successfully permitted unique linear projects for the utility and communication industries.
