Campbell Environmental

What Campbell Environmental does

Campbell Environmental Group, Inc. (CEG) is a privately held environmental consulting firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Falmouth, Maine (173 Gray Road). The firm delivers a full suite of environmental assessment and remediation services including Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, brownfield redevelopment under the US EPA Brownfields program, remedial investigations and feasibility studies, regulatory site closure (VRAP, Maine DEP Chapter 600, Chapter 691 petroleum sites), underground storage tank removals, hydrogeological studies, permitting and compliance support (SPCC Plans, SWPPPs, hazardous waste closures), and dedicated services for Tribal Nations. Work is performed by certified geologists and environmental scientists using conventional field techniques such as hollow-stem auger and geoprobe subsurface investigations, groundwater monitoring, and engineered remediation including excavation, biodegradation, neutralization, and solidification/encapsulation.

CEG's primary customer base is concentrated among Maine municipalities, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, and a smaller set of private property owners in Maine and New Hampshire. Notable engagements include brownfield assessments for the Towns of Bucksport, Brewer, Warren, Howland, Bradley, and Parsonsfield, redevelopment of the former Eastern Fine Paper facility, and the closure of 165 petroleum sites in Maine. The firm was contracted by Maine DEP to author the state's petroleum site closure methodology manual, and has received consecutive Maine DEP Site Closure Project Awards (1999, 2001, 2004).

The business model is professional services: project-based, quote-priced consulting engagements delivered by a small (1–10 employee) technical team under a sales-led GTM. Revenue is generated through consulting fees for environmental assessments, remediation design, and regulatory compliance work; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, relying on regulator referrals and prior-client relationships rather than active marketing. CEG is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, and no funding rounds to date.
