HPES provides environmental consulting and program support services. Stamped engineering plans are produced in coordination with a contracted, licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) for technical review and code compliance.

A Phase I ESA identifies recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on a property through records review, site inspection, and interviews — without sampling. It is commonly required for real estate transactions, financing, and due diligence under ASTM E1527-21.

A Phase II ESA involves subsurface sampling (soil, groundwater, or building materials) to confirm or rule out contamination identified during a Phase I. It is recommended when RECs are found and regulatory or transactional requirements call for further investigation.

Yes. HPES provides on-call MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) support including program inspections, illicit discharge detection, outfall screening, recordkeeping, and annual report assistance for localities and permit holders.

HPES supports localities and land disturbance permittees with Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) and Stormwater Management (SWM) program administration, including plan review coordination, inspection oversight, and VESMP compliance documentation.

Yes. HPES provides stormwater management design support and construction-phase oversight, including BMP sizing, site-specific layout recommendations, and coordination with the licensed P.E. of record.

A wetland delineation identifies the limits of jurisdictional wetlands on a property based on vegetation, soils, and hydrology indicators per the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. HPES conducts field investigations and prepares documentation for regulatory coordination.

Yes. Field investigations are a core part of many HPES services, including wetland delineation, Phase II sampling support, and stormwater inspections. Site visit costs are scoped per project and outlined clearly in your proposal.

HPES develops GIS-based maps, spatial analyses, Power BI dashboards, and data management tools to support environmental program tracking, permitting workflows, infrastructure resilience planning, and community reporting needs.

Yes. Deliverables are provided in agreed-upon formats and may include GIS files, PDF reports, Excel datasets, and dashboard outputs. Client access and data transfer terms are outlined in each project agreement.

Engagements typically begin with a scoping call to understand your project needs, followed by a written proposal. Many projects follow a phased structure, with options for retainer-based support for ongoing program administration.
