What Marion Environmental does

Marion Environmental Incorporated (MEI) is a privately held, woman-owned, full-service environmental consulting and field services firm headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Founded in 2013, the company operates 10 office locations spanning Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, with a notable out-of-region presence in Tullytown, Pennsylvania. The firm delivers environmental site assessments (Phase I, II, and III), brownfield redevelopment support, and RCRA/CERCLA corrective actions for industrial, commercial real estate, government, and small-business clients.

Its service portfolio spans the full environmental lifecycle: site assessment and geologic/hydrogeologic evaluation; industrial cleaning and decontamination (water blasting, sand blasting, dry ice blasting, vacuum trucks); 24/7 CHEMTREC-certified emergency response for hazardous material incidents; asbestos and lead surveys and abatement (with XRF technology for lead detection); hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal via an in-house DOT-certified fleet; and OSHA-compliant health and safety training. AquaTreat operates as a separately branded water treatment subsidiary. Workforce certifications include in-house OSHA 40-hour training, confined space rescue, and CHEMTREC response credentials.

MEI generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts (consulting and industrial field work) billed per scope, supplemented by transaction-fee revenue from waste transportation and disposal coordination. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with regional offices dispatching crews and equipment locally; the firm also pursues government and corporate contracts leveraging WBENC and Tennessee Woman Owned Business certifications. Emergency response and recurring compliance work drive event-driven, repeat engagement, while the diversified service mix reduces dependence on any single project type.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: Clean Harbors is the largest North American provider of hazardous waste management, emergency spill response, and industrial cleaning. It competes with Marion's industrial services, transportation, and emergency response lines at the national level, though Marion operates as a more focused regional alternative.
• AECOM: AECOM's Environment business provides environmental consulting, site assessment, and remediation services globally. It competes for the same Phase I/II/III, RCRA/CERCLA, and brownfield work that anchors Marion's consulting practice, though at vastly larger scale and scope.
• Tetra Tech: Tetra Tech is a leading global consulting and engineering firm specializing in water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure. Its environmental site assessment, remediation, and regulatory compliance services overlap directly with Marion's core consulting offerings.
• Stericycle: Stericycle provides regulated waste management, including hazardous waste collection, transportation, and disposal services across North America. Marion's transportation division and hazardous/non-hazardous waste management compete for similar industrial and commercial generators at a regional level.
• Republic Services: Republic Services is a major U.S. waste management company with environmental services capabilities including industrial waste collection and disposal. It competes for the same hazardous waste, industrial cleaning, and disposal contracts across Marion's southeastern footprint.
• Environmental Resources Management (ERM): ERM is one of the largest global pure-play environmental, health, safety, and sustainability consultancies. Its EHS consulting and site assessment work directly overlaps Marion's consulting practice; ERM works across many of the same industrial and commercial client types.
• Veolia North America: Veolia North America offers hazardous waste treatment, industrial cleaning, and environmental remediation services. It competes in the same industrial services and hazardous waste transportation space as Marion but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Terracon Consultants: Terracon is a national employee-owned consulting firm offering environmental, geotechnical, and facilities services. Its Phase I/II ESAs and environmental consulting services directly overlap with Marion's core consulting practice, though Terracon operates a much larger national footprint.
