Capitol Environmental Services

What Capitol Environmental Services does

Capitol Environmental Services is a privately-held environmental services firm founded in 1989 by James Mraz and headquartered in Newark, Delaware. The company provides an integrated set of seven core offerings: Remediation, Environmental Construction, Field Services, Waste Management and Beneficial Use, Transportation and Logistics, Facilities/Program/Project Management, and Post-Disaster Management and Emergency Response. Its service platform is organized around a proprietary methodology called 'Environexus' that blends the in-house expertise of senior personnel with a nationwide network of trusted partners, enabling the company to deliver full-scope environmental programs without owning heavy assets. Customer segments include federal/state/municipal government (EPA, US Navy), manufacturing and industrial (pharmaceutical manufacturers, particularly via the Puerto Rico office since 1996), brownfield developers, engineers and consultants, heavy civil contractors, and rail/transportation operators.

The business operates on a sales-led, project-based model with regional Senior and Regional Business Managers positioned across at least nine U.S. states plus Puerto Rico. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with prospective customers using a 'Request a Quote' workflow on the website and existing clients managing ongoing activity through an authenticated B2B portal (cesib2b). Revenue streams are predominantly professional services (remediation, construction, field services) and managed services (waste management beneficial use, transportation and logistics, facilities/program management). The company holds SBA small business, NJ A901, and NY Business Integrity Commission certifications, which collectively enable federal contracting set-asides and access to regulated municipal waste markets.

Capitol is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or private equity sponsorship. The leadership team is led by James Mraz as President and CEO and Eric Palm as General Manager/General Counsel, supported by long-tenured business managers averaging 20+ years of industry experience. Over 35 years of operating history, the company has expanded from off-site disposal in the Mid-Atlantic into a national footprint spanning the Northeast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, California/west coast, Puerto Rico (since 1996), and select Pacific and overseas logistics lanes. Industry association memberships (NAEM, SAME, NAM, ARDA, SEBAC) and contractor compliance integrations (Avetta, ISNetworld) support channel access to federal, manufacturing, and rail clients.
