What Environmental Advantage, Inc. does

Environmental Advantage, Inc. (EA) is a privately held environmental consulting firm headquartered in Orchard Park, New York, founded in 2019 by C. Mark Hanna as a spin-off from Hazard Evaluations, Inc. (HEI, founded 1986). The firm provides a full suite of environmental compliance, assessment, and remediation services to industrial and commercial clients across Western New York and New York State, delivered through a 16-person team of certified project managers, environmental scientists, and HAZWOPER-trained field technicians.

The company's offering is organized around seven core service modules: Facility Audits & Violation Resolution, Air Emissions Consulting (including Title V permitting and AERMOD dispersion modeling), Chemical Compliance Services (SARA reporting, SPCC, RMP, bulk storage), Site Assessment & Remediation (Phase I/II ESAs under ASTM E1527-21 and E1903-19, Brownfield Cleanup), Stormwater Management (SWPPP, MSGP, NPDES/SPDES), Wastewater Management, and Waste Management (RCRA compliance), plus workforce training programs. Service delivery relies on industry-standard regulatory frameworks (USEPA, NYSDEC, ASTM) rather than proprietary technology platforms.

EA operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model, generating revenue through project engagements and ongoing advisory relationships on a quote-based pricing structure with complimentary initial consultations. The firm maintains a co-branded quarterly newsletter with sister firm HEI and positions itself as a long-tenured 'client advocate' in the regional market. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held by its founder with no outside institutional investors.
