Why choose STEP to assist with your environmental needs?
Our goal is to develop plans that can be used successfully to prevent and control spills as
well as minimize impacts to the quality of surface water. We partner with our clients to
gain knowledge on the fundamental facility operations, spill response capabilities, and
other key concerns. We are then able to develop an effective plan based on facility
knowledge, the regulations, best management practices, and years of experience.
After determining the type of plan that your facility will need to develop, there are other
considerations that you will have to make. Providing manpower, equipment, and resources
together with management support are critical elements of your plan. You must also
ensure personnel are properly trained, ensure maintenance and inspections are in order,
and maintain records and documentation.
