EI’s Environmental Services Directory

In 1988, Environmental Information (EI) first introduced its EI Environmental Services Directory. It quickly became the most comprehensive reference directory of environmental services in the United States. Eventually the directory reached over three thousand pages requiring five three inch notebook binders. The directory was one of the first electronic services offered by Envirobiz.com in the early 1990s. In 2006, this venerable reference of the US environmental services sector will be undergoing some significant changes of its supporting database and internet software.

This reference directory focuses on asbestos abatement, environmental consultants, emergency spill response, engineering firms, laboratories, soil boring firms, surveyors, well drillers and other similar environmental services in the United States. The profile are designed to provide the user with basic information as to a environmental service firm’s capabilities.

When released in fall 2006, a new query form will also be introduced. The new query format will help users to more accurately and quickly identify firms matching their specific project needs. Please visit our demonstration page to view a similar query form being used for the other directories on Envirobiz.com.

The query form under development, will basically allow the user to indentify firms based on the

• location
• type of project
• type(s) of environmental services

Each search is done solely on the basis of selected criteria. No fee is charged to the companies for being included in the directory. The inclusion of a specific company does not constitute an endorsement of the company nor is it intended to infer the company is in compliance with all environmental rules and regulations. It is recommended that before using any company, that further due diligence is done on the company.

The Environmental Information researches these companies by telephone and written surveys. The information about each facility in this directory relies upon the accuracy of the information provided by the company. Likewise, the absence of information on a company is an indication that the company has chosen not to provide the information.

Environmental service firms interested in assuring they are scheduled to be included in the directory should contact environmental information.
