RTP Environmental Associates, Inc

What RTP Environmental Associates, Inc does

RTP Environmental Associates, Inc. is a privately held, multi-disciplinary environmental consulting firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Green Brook, New Jersey, with regional offices in New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Colorado. The firm is closely held and managed by senior principals drawn from former EPA and state agency, large international consulting, and corporate environmental backgrounds. It employs 101–250 professional staff across engineering, chemistry, meteorology, and scientific disciplines.

The firm delivers consulting across three media — air quality, water quality, and solid/hazardous waste — augmented by environmental compliance, professional training, specialty services (noise, odor, NEPA, ecological, GIS, expert testimony), and sustainability/ESG services. Core technical assets include an in-house library of EPA-approved dispersion models (ISCPrime, AERMOD, CALPUFF), custom code for site-specific receptor grids and terrain profiles, GIS-based mapping, and programming capabilities in C++, Fortran, Basic, dBASE, and Access. Service lines span permitting and applicability determinations, monitoring and testing, multi-media compliance audits, site assessments and due diligence, enforcement and litigation support, risk management planning, GHG inventory and reporting, and asbestos/lead paint management.

RTP generates revenue through professional services engagements with industrial, manufacturing, utility, waste and recycling, commercial, transportation, and government clients across the United States, complemented by paid training workshops (Advanced NSR, CEMS/Stack Testing, Title V, ISO 14001). Go-to-market is principally enterprise field sales driven by senior-level principal involvement, with channel support from industry conferences (A&WMA ACE, FEW, SES) and word-of-mouth/referral from existing clients. No pricing or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the firm operates as a regional, principal-led consultancy rather than a software or platform business.

Direct peers

• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): Largest pure-play global environmental, health, safety, and sustainability consulting firm. Directly comparable to RTP in multi-media environmental compliance, permitting, and ESG advisory, with similar air quality, water, and waste practices, though operating at significantly greater global scale.
• Trinity Consultants: Specialist EHS and air quality consulting firm offering air permitting, dispersion modeling, and regulatory compliance services. Closely mirrors RTP's core air permitting, meteorology, and Title V practice, and similarly focuses on industrial and governmental clients across multiple US regions.
• SLR Consulting: Global environmental and advisory consulting firm with deep air quality, water, waste, and due diligence practices. Directly comparable to RTP's multi-media environmental and compliance offering, with overlapping services in site assessment, permitting, and sustainability.
• Ramboll: International engineering, consulting, and environmental services firm with strong US environmental practice covering air, water, waste, and climate. Comparable to RTP in multi-disciplinary environmental consulting and industrial/government client base, though with significantly broader geographic and service reach.
• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm with a major environmental and water practice. Comparable to RTP in environmental compliance, permitting, and site assessment, with overlapping work in air, water, and remediation for industrial and government clients.
• Tetra Tech: Leading consulting and engineering firm focused on water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure. Directly comparable in air quality, water permitting, and waste management consulting, and competes for many of the same industrial, utility, and government contracts as RTP.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with a large environmental services practice spanning air, water, waste, and environmental planning. A broader incumbent that overlaps with RTP across nearly all service lines, but offers the work as part of a much larger portfolio including design, construction, and program management.
• Jacobs Solutions: Global professional services firm with significant environmental, water, and regulatory consulting capabilities. A broad incumbent whose environmental practice competes with RTP in air quality, water, and compliance work for federal, state, and industrial clients.
• WSP: Global professional services consultancy with a sizeable environmental and earth sciences practice following its acquisition of Wood E&I and other firms. Overlaps with RTP in environmental permitting, site assessment, and climate/sustainability advisory, but delivers these as part of a much larger end-to-end engineering platform.

Emerging players

• Gradient Analytics: Boutique environmental and atmospheric science consulting firm specializing in air quality, exposure science, and risk assessment. Comparable to RTP in dispersion modeling, air toxics, and health-risk work, but smaller in scale and more narrowly focused on atmospheric sciences and risk science.
