What Environmental Assessment Services, Inc does

Environmental Assessment Services, Inc. (EAS) is a privately held environmental consulting firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. The firm is exclusively focused on transactional environmental due diligence, offering a tiered suite of services: Records Search and Risk Assessments (RSRA, deliverable in 24 hours), Transaction Screens, and Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA, 5-10 business days, ASTM E1527-21 compliant). Supporting services include Defensive Environmental Reviews, Regulatory Assistance, Brownfield Assessment, Reliance Letters, and Petroleum Contamination Assessment. All work is performed by LEP-certified Environmental Professionals following ASTM and SBA requirements, with a proprietary RSRA protocol that incorporates area geology and hydrology assessment.

EAS generates revenue through professional services billing on a quote-based, per-engagement model. The RSRA cost is incorporated into Phase I invoices when clients proceed to full assessments, eliminating double-charging. Defensive Reviews are billed hourly and capped at typically three hours of combined review and writing. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting financial institutions, real estate professionals, developers, and engineering firms requiring independent third-party environmental opinions for property transactions, loan underwriting, and SBA compliance. The firm delivers services throughout Florida and nationwide from its single Tampa Bay office, with no disclosed partnerships, software platform, or digital channel.

The leadership team is founder-led by President Matthew Gasper (30+ years, 9,000+ audits) and COO Shannon Nelson (LEP-certified, MSc Planning), supported by four specialist staff. EAS has been continuously recognized by the Tampa Bay Business Journal as a Top 20 Environmental Consulting Firm since 2018 and carries general liability and workers' compensation coverage through 2025-26.

Products and services

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) Comprehensive environmental site investigation that identifies potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities, examining past, present, and future environmental risks for commercial properties during ownership changes or refinancing. Qualifies clients for CERCLA Landowner Liability Protections and meets ASTM E1527-21 standards; completed within 5–10 business days.
• Records Search and Risk Assessment (RSRA) Preliminary environmental assessment using extensive research and database analysis without a site visit, providing an Environmental Professional's opinion of contamination risk level (low–high) for target properties. Uses EAS's proprietary protocol incorporating area geology and hydrology assessment; results typically delivered within 24 hours.
• Transaction Screening Process (TSP/TSA/Environmental Screen) Environmental due diligence service less comprehensive than a Phase I but more comprehensive than an RSRA, including a site visit and questionnaire completed by an Environmental Professional.
• Defensive Environmental Reviews Independent review service where EAS reviews a Phase I or Phase II performed by another environmental firm and provides an opinion letter summarizing key takeaways, typically completed within one business day. Priced hourly, generally not exceeding 3 hours of combined review and writing.
• Regulatory Assistance Client representation with regulatory agencies (local, state, federal) to interpret rules, codes, regulations, and ordinances, including sampling support, expert analysis, and testimony services.
• Brownfield Assessment Services Environmental due diligence services for properties within brownfield designations, providing historical records, brownfield designation letters, and supplementary materials for comprehensive property evaluation.
• Petroleum Contamination Assessment Assessment services for properties with potential petroleum contamination, including evaluation against Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Petroleum Restoration Program criteria.
• Reliance Letters Form letter issued by EAS permitting another party to use a report prepared for another party, provided free of charge within 24 hours of request, subject to report shelf life requirements. Required for SBA-compliant reports.

Broad incumbents

• Apex Companies: National environmental and engineering consulting firm with a substantial due diligence practice serving commercial real estate and lenders. Adjacent competitive threat at the mid-market level.
• Ramboll: Global engineering and environmental consulting firm with significant North American environmental due diligence capacity. Competes in lender and investor Phase I engagements via global scale and ESG integration.
• WSP: Global professional services firm with an Earth & Environment practice providing environmental site assessments and due diligence. Competes for the same enterprise lender mandates via bundling rather than specialization.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with a large environmental services practice covering due diligence, remediation, and ESG. Overlaps with EAS in lender and developer Phase I work but as part of a much broader offering.
• Terracon Consultants: Top-tier national geotechnical and environmental consulting firm offering Phase I/II ESAs as part of a broad service portfolio. Competes on larger lender and developer engagements where bundling matters more than specialization.

Direct peers

• Hillis-Carnes Engineering Associates: Mid-Atlantic-based engineering and environmental consulting firm providing Phase I ESAs, geotechnical, and construction services. Comparable regional full-service positioning with similar lender and developer clientele.
• Partner Engineering (Note: same as #1, kept distinct) — consolidated:
• AccuTech Environmental Services: Regional environmental consulting firm specializing in Phase I ESAs, indoor air quality, and environmental due diligence for commercial real estate transactions — directly comparable niche specialization.

Others

• Environmental Data Resources (EDR): Primary provider of historical environmental records databases that EAS queries for RSRA and Phase I reports. Functions as a critical data infrastructure supplier rather than a competitor, but adjacent in the workflow.

Emerging players

• Lightbox (Datasite): Property data and workflow platform that digitizes environmental due diligence records and ordering for CRE transactions. Represents a structural threat to traditional Phase I workflows that EAS currently performs manually.
