Environmental services
AWS Environmental can function as an extension of your environmental team.
We provide environmental permitting, compliance, engineering, monitoring, and technology support for industry, local governments, landfill operators, technology developers, and other organizations facing complex environmental challenges. As a nonprofit, we combine practical expertise with a mission to advance solutions that benefit both our clients and their communities.

Air Quality Permitting & Compliance
Navigate environmental requirements with confidence
Air permitting and compliance can be complex, especially for growing facilities, new technologies, manufacturing, and waste operations. We help you understand requirements, evaluate permitting strategies, prepare documentation, and maintain compliance, working with your facility staff, engineers, equipment makers, technology providers, and regulators.
Discuss an air permitting project- Air permit applications
- Permit modifications
- Regulatory applicability determinations
- Emissions calculations
- Emissions inventories
- Equipment and process evaluations
- Compliance planning
- Recordkeeping and reporting
- Regulatory agency coordination
- Ongoing compliance support
Data Center Monitoring, Permitting & Compliance
Environmental support for a fast-growing industry
Data centers bring specific environmental requirements, from backup power and cooling systems to community questions about air quality. We help owners, developers, and operators understand their obligations, plan permitting, and stay in compliance, and we can provide monitoring that shows how a facility affects its surroundings.
Discuss a data center project- Air permitting for backup generators and other equipment
- Regulatory applicability determinations
- Emissions calculations and inventories
- Compliance planning
- Recordkeeping and reporting
- Ambient air-quality and meteorological monitoring
- Fence-line and community monitoring
- Cooling water and wastewater evaluation
- Regulatory agency coordination
- Ongoing compliance support
Water & Wastewater Solutions
Turning difficult water challenges into practical solutions
We evaluate technologies and treatment strategies for challenging industrial and environmental water streams. Instead of starting with a preset technology, we look at the water’s characteristics, your treatment goals, regulatory requirements, operating conditions, and economics.
Discuss a water project- Industrial wastewater
- Landfill leachate
- Contaminated groundwater
- Water recovery and reuse
- Reverse osmosis
- Membrane treatment
- Emerging contaminant treatment
- PFAS treatment strategies
- Concentrate management
- Pilot and demonstration systems
- Treatment technology evaluation
Landfill Solutions
Addressing one of the solid waste industry’s most persistent challenges
Leachate management is a growing operational, environmental, and financial challenge for landfill owners and local governments. We work with landfill operators, technology companies, engineers, and government partners to evaluate new treatment and water-management approaches, including testing technologies before you commit significant capital to full-scale systems.
Discuss a landfill project- Leachate characterization
- On-site treatment
- Reverse osmosis and membranes
- Concentrate management
- Water recovery
- Recirculation strategies
- Groundwater treatment
- Pilot treatment programs
- Treatment economics
- Emerging contaminants
- PFAS management
- Environmental monitoring
Solid Waste & Resource Recovery
Finding better uses for materials traditionally considered waste
We work with public and private organizations to reduce waste, recover resources, improve landfill operations, and beneficially reuse appropriate materials. Our goal is environmentally responsible solutions that are also practical to operate and affordable.
Discuss a waste or recovery project- Alternative daily cover
- Beneficial use
- Waste characterization
- Material recovery
- Recycling
- Industrial byproducts
- Landfill operational strategies
- Waste reduction
- Resource recovery
Advanced Recycling & Renewable Energy
Environmental support for emerging technologies
New technologies can recover value from materials that were once hard to recycle, and they raise new permitting and compliance questions. We assist technology developers, project owners, investors, manufacturers, and operators, and we can get involved early so environmental needs shape facility design and planning from the start.
Discuss a technology project- Advanced recycling
- Plastics-to-fuels
- Pyrolysis
- Renewable transportation fuels
- Waste preprocessing
- Feedstock evaluation
- Air permitting
- Environmental compliance
- Facility development
- Technology assessment
Environmental Monitoring
Data in action
Good data leads to better decisions. We develop and support monitoring programs for compliance, environmental management, research, and public understanding.

Environmental Technology Evaluation
Helping good technologies reach real-world applications
The environmental technology market is changing quickly. We work with developers and end users to decide whether emerging technologies fit real-world applications, and we can help connect providers with potential users, engineering resources, regulatory expertise, and project partners.
Discuss a technology evaluation- Technology evaluation
- Application development
- Environmental permitting
- Regulatory strategy
- Pilot project development
- Demonstration projects
- Site identification
- Performance evaluation
- Commercial deployment support
