Environmental Resources Group

What Environmental Resources Group does

Environmental Resources Group, LLC (ERG) is a private environmental consulting firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Novi, Michigan. The firm delivers an integrated suite of professional environmental services spanning Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments, site investigation and remediation design, brownfield redevelopment, underground storage tank (UST) and leaking UST (LUST) management, industrial hygiene, asbestos and hazardous materials assessment, vapor intrusion mitigation, agricultural and CAFO permitting, and PFAS investigation and remediation. Underlying capabilities include in-house Ground Penetrating Radar operation for utility and orphan-tank location, GIS-driven geospatial modeling integrated with Rockware/Rockworks and LogPlot for hydrogeological visualization, and engineered PFAS treatment systems using granular activated carbon, ion exchange resins, and dissolved air floatation. The firm operates from five U.S. offices — Novi (HQ), Muskegon, Lansing (added via the 2021 Fibertec Industrial Hygiene Services acquisition), Grand Junction, and Reno — with active projects across Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, Indiana, New York, and Utah. Customer logos skew heavily to municipal and governmental buyers (Cities of Muskegon, Wixom, Novi, Westland, Lyon Township; Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe; Grand Traverse Band; Capital Region Airport) alongside enterprise accounts in petroleum retail (Maverik, Grant Amoco), food processing (DeVries Meats, Countryside Quality Meats, Schoenborn Family Farms), and landfill/waste management (Arbor Hills, Ontario County, Hoosier Landfill).

ERG monetizes through professional services engagements on a per-project, scope-defined basis — fees are custom-quoted and tied to site complexity, regulatory pathway, and required deliverables (e.g., a Phase I ESA versus a full multi-year brownfield redevelopment program). Go-to-market is a relationship-driven mix of direct enterprise/field sales, attorney and lender referrals, and sustained trade-show presence at MPA/MACS, M-PACT, Brownfields Training Conference, and tribal-environment forums, augmented by professional society affiliations (AIPG, MAEP, SAME, SWANA, MWEA) and contributed thought-leadership content in publications such as CAM Magazine. The primary customer segments are municipalities/government, commercial and industrial property owners, developers and real estate investors, petroleum retailers, agriculture/agribusiness, landfills, schools, and legal professionals — with the first five designated as primary verticals. Marquee outcome metrics include 28 UST/LUST/MUSTA closures completed in 2025 (22 in 2026 YTD), greater than 99% PFAS removal across one million gallons of Wixom wastewater sludge, $470,000 in EGLE grant funding secured for the 900+ acre Former Eloise Complex redevelopment, and greater than $200,000 in cost avoidance on a 500,000-gallon Maverik PFAS groundwater treatment. The firm is founder- or management-owned, with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor presence in the input data.
