EEC recently opened a mid-Atlantic branch office in Annapolis, Maryland. The new EEC Mid-Atlantic branch is conveniently located in Annapolis, Maryland allowing quick and easy access to major markets including Washington D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York. This new venture gives EEC the capability to tackle the most technically challenging projects anywhere in the United States and abroad.
Industry: Oil Refinery
After conducting a comprehensive feasibility study and cost/benefit analysis, EEC designed a 2.5 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant at a refinery in China to meet new stringent discharge standards.
EEC was retained by a large city in the western United States to respond to a state audit and notice of violation (NOV) that required an extensive upgrade of the City's pretreatment program. EEC is working side-by-side with the City to upgrade its legal authority, develop new local limits, issue industrial user permits, and provide inspector training.
EEC conducted a comprehensive study of chemicals of emerging concern for a large pharmaceutical manufacturer. The study analyzed endocrine-disrupting effects of key chemicals used in the company's drug manufacturing processes. EEC investigated the potential adverse impacts of the manufacturer's effluent on the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW) processes, as well as acute and chronic impacts on the aquatic life in the POTW receiving waters. The study resulted in a phased raw material substitution and new best management practices to prevent harmful discharges.
EEC has been providing GIS services to the City of Santa Ana’s Water Resources Division since 2004. EEC developed a database and data entry procedure that transferred data from old water service index cards to digital data, complete with GIS representations. The partially automated database and data entry process allowed the Division to quickly enter information, reducing the time needed to enter tens of thousands of records. This water service data can now be queried in the GIS. EEC has also assisted Santa Ana in creating GIS feature classes based on existing tabular data. EEC has developed two methods for creating water or sewer laterals feature classes. These methods have a significant amount of automation which reduces the manual effort necessary to create service laterals.
Industry: Municipal Wastewater
EEC is in the process of developing a work and asset management system for Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD). The computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) at the heart of the system is Azteca Systems’ CityWorks. The system is being developed in conjunction with an EEC-designed geographic information system (GIS), using Esri’s ArcGIS. The GIS and CMMS will be seamlessly integrated to revolutionize the way CMSD manages day-to-day operations and plans for the effective use of its wastewater collection system.

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is a stimulation process used to extract natural gas (and in some cases oil) from deep reserves 5,000-8,000 feet below the ground surface. This process allows energy companies to access previously unavailable energy sources in Californi...
