An inside look at how Alliance supports clients through every stage of compliance At Alliance, environmental compliance isn’t just checking boxes—it’s about building trust by building customized solutions for every client. Tanvi Desai, Director of Compliance Services , has spent the past decade doing just that. In this Q&A, she shares changes she’s seen in her career and the secret to building long-lasting positive relationships across the industry. What exactly is environmental compliance, and what do you and your team do for clients? For background, federal governments and state governments, and cities and counties, come up with rules and regulations to control pollutants across industries. Our role is to help all industrial clients across the country facilitate their needs for permits and their needs for recordkeeping. But our job doesn’t end with “OK, you have a permit, you're good to go.’ It starts there. We go out on site checks regularly—monthly or quarterly—to help our clients stay in compliance. And it cannot be one solution that fits every client. Each client is different, each client’s requirements are different, and their permits are different. So, our role is to customize our program for each client to make sure we do the right job. Do you find that some companies still take a reactive approach to compliance rather than a proactive one? Yes, definitely. A lot of companies don’t want to spend money on environmental compliance unless they get a violation from a state or federal agency. Some people don’t take it seriously until there’s an issue. But in the last ten years, and especially the last five, I’ve seen more and more clients understanding that one audit isn’t enough. An audit just tells you what’s wrong. It doesn’t solve the problems. That’s where we come in. We’re the real problem-solvers. When we work with clients regularly, they don’t have to worry about compliance on a daily basis. We allocate the right experts to find solutions for whatever comes up. What’s the key to building long-term relationships with your clients? You don’t want sales to be only about selling. Everyone needs to be heard, to be understood, to have their problem understood. If their problem is with safety and OSHA [Occupational Safety & Health Administration], I get the subject matter expert for that and find a solution. If they have a budget problem, I suggest a budget-friendly option. I love the relationships we build with our clients. My role is to find a solution for what they  need, not what I want to sell. That’s where we win the clients’ heart. And they say, “I want to give you all my environmental work because I trust you and I trust you’re not just here to sell.” That’s what I try to pass on to my team as well: wherever you go, with whichever client you meet, your first goal is to be helpful. If you understand their problem, solve it, they’ll be your forever-client. And it’s really like that. Can you share a project that reminded you why you do this work? One in particular stands out. One client had an EPA inspection and was given a list of 70 findings—missing documentation, incomplete records, permit issues. They had two or three months to resolve everything. It was a lot. We had to work together as a team and come up with a solution and a plan to save them from getting a big violation and a big fine. And we did it. They met all the requirements. That was challenging but a fun project. And they’re still our client many years later. They know they can rely on us to do the right thing. What do you want people outside the industry to know about the work you do at Alliance? We really try our best to be the best company in terms of work culture, by mentoring our team members and growing their career path. And doing the right thing for a healthy environment too. We also involved ourselves in a lot of volunteer work. Recently we did a clean-up in Galveston Beach. Alliance at a local volunteer beach cleanup program dedicated to keeping Texas beaches clean What do you want people in the industry to know about your work at Alliance? Things can get complicated for clients working in this industry. So we offer it all–permitting, compliance, stack testing, LDAR [Leak Detection & Repair], industrial hygiene, OSHA studies, groundwater remediation, wastewater design—and much more. There are so many regulations we have to keep up with. There’s constant change. Sometimes it’s federal, sometimes it’s state or county regulations that are changing. We are all putting in an effort to provide a solution for all industries, not just one. You’re a woman in a leadership role at a major environmental firm. What has that journey been like for you? Honestly, I never thought I would be where I am right now. When I started my career, I just needed a job. But once I got into this field, I realized I really liked the work. And I found I have a leadership quality. I wouldn’t say it was easy. It can be like a rollercoaster ride. When I come to the office in the morning, there is a new challenge on my door. I always rely on what I’ve learned: the problem-solving skills, the time-management skills, just knowing you’re doing the right thing. You just have to keep showing up for yourself, for your team, for your clients–and do the job right. And you’ll get there. That’s my motto. Do the job right, every single day. When you have that, it’s like you’re unstoppable. With Alliance, there's a better way. Navigating compliance doesn’t have to be complicated. At Alliance Technical Group, we simplify the process with tailored programs, ongoing support, and deep regulatory expertise. From environmental compliance and LDAR audits to health & safety consulting and industrial hygiene assessments, our team partners with you to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and achieve confident compliance.

Accurate Source Testing, Seamless Logistics, and Proven Compliance Support

Loyalty isn’t just a word; it’s a practice. Marking his 20-year anniversary at Alliance, Snapper Armstrong , Vice President of Sales for our Stack Testing division, shares what that means to Alliance teams and to our clients. Snapper, what was your first role at Alliance all those years ago? I first came on as a sales rep in 2004, and I noticed the Stack Testing group had tons of growth potential, and that was exciting. I spent most of my time learning everything I know today about stack from Chris LeMay (CEO), Jeremy Hutchens (VP of Stack Testing), and Ryan O’Dea (SVP of Stack Testing), all of whom are still with Alliance today. Do you think it matters to our clients that many Alliance employees stay for the long haul? Definitely. Employee loyalty goes hand in hand with client loyalty. If clients were constantly talking to a different Alliance contact, it would be difficult to build relationships that generate loyalty and trust. On the flip side, we’re continuing to hire new talent and develop their skills. The key is that we have a lot of tenured experts—either with Alliance or with one of the companies we’ve acquired—supporting newcomers, so clients know they’re always getting advice and guidance from an experienced professional. Why should clients trust Alliance for their Stack Testing needs? A few of our clients have been with us for 20 years or more and many of our field staff are on a first-name basis with their clients. Alliance also has a deep bench of technical professionals and subject matter experts, so there’s always a skilled specialist available to help in any situation. That assurance goes a long way. What do you do in your current role at Alliance? I provide environmental compliance solutions for clients, with an emphasis on Stack Testing. But it’s so much more than that. Really, it depends on our clients’ needs. If they’re looking for Stack Testing, Water Sampling, Permits, or Environmental, Health and Safety Consulting Services—I’ve got a solution. I also work closely with our sales teams to gain insights into the types of services our clients are requesting and to make sure newer team members fully understand our clients’ needs and how we can help. What has kept you working at Alliance for so long? It’s really the people I’ve worked with over the years that’s compelled me to stay and build a career here. Working with people you can count on, and trust builds loyalty. That’s the simple answer—trust and loyalty with good people who watch out for each other and our clients, together .Every team member at Alliance is not just trained and released to the field—we have each other’s backs. We have a large foundation of experts here to teach, advise, troubleshoot, and mentor on every job, for every situation, every step of the way. That develops more loyalty, more trust. What do you think it takes to be a good stack tester? Stack Testing is a physically and mentally demanding job. There’s a lot of time spent on the road, traveling back and forth to job sites. There is also a significant amount of loading, unloading, reloading, and prepping equipment for each project. In general, good Stack Testers can come from any background, if they can learn quickly and react swiftly in any type of situation. They also have to be confident working with their hands, assembling, disassembling, and reassembling equipment. Sometimes what works perfectly in the shop may not work perfectly in the field, so there’s a lot of troubleshooting and thinking on their feet to figure out a solution. And you can’t be afraid of heights! It’s a great match for climbers and adventurers. Stay ahead of compliance deadlines—schedule your Stack Testing project today. Don’t scramble at the last minute—reach out now while it’s top of mind. You can even discuss any future testing needs and get them scheduled early. With Alliance, there’s a better way. We’re a new kind of environmental services company — powered by innovation, focused on service,and committed to our clients’ success. Dedicated to helping you achieve your environmental goals and mitigate the risks associated with regulatory changes, we deliver on the promise of reliability, results, and responsiveness.

Alliance’s Trusted Advisors keep you ahead of EPA Re-Notification deadlines, so you can get back to what matters most—managing operations. What is the 2025 SQG Re-Notification If your facility generates between 220 and 2,200 pounds (100–1,000 kilograms) of hazardous waste per month, it’s considered a Small Quantity Generator (SQG) , according to EPA. All SQGs have an important upcoming EPA deadline: Re-Notification.  What You Need to Know By September 1, 2025 , all SQGs must re-notify EPA of their facility’s generator status under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Re-Notifications are due every four years and help EPA ensure safe, lawful waste management. What You Need to Do In order to remain compliant, facilities must submit a completed EPA Form 8700-12 any time within the four-year period before the due date. The next deadline is closing soon.   How We Can Help You Submission requirements vary by state—some requiring hazardous waste notifications to be submitted through their own environmental agencies, while others direct facilities to submit to the EPA using the myRCRAid system.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production is a sustainable way to address methane and other toxic emissions reductions—while recycling waste. Facilities that embrace RNG production are profiting by turning waste into fuel for energy and other revenue streams, all while reducing methane emissions. Recent news focuses on the rise in demand and funding incentives that bring new opportunities for food waste RNG production facilities. On June 12, 2024, the U.S. government announced the “National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics,” which includes nearly $200 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, supported by the EPA, USDA, and FDA. Along with recycling and composting, this funding supports food waste anaerobic digestion—a key component of RNG production. The increase in funding for the RNG industry is an opportunity to develop production facilities that can help meet these new strategy goals. Significant Methane Capture Potential Food waste RNG remains an underutilized revenue source in North America despite its success in Europe. Food waste decomposition in landfills is a major methane emitter, contributing up to 58% of landfill methane emissions. By diverting food waste to anaerobic digesters, methane can be captured earlier in the decomposition process, enhancing RNG production and reducing emissions by converting waste into RNG and nutrient-rich digestate (which doubles as fertilizer), these digesters support sustainable energy transitions, prevent net increases in atmospheric CO2, and bolster local economies by creating jobs and generating additional revenue. Complex Testing and Compliance Requirements As the RNG production sector continues to grow, navigating a complex regulatory environment with precision remains critical for RNG production facilities to demonstrate compliance and optimize uptime by engaging with experienced environmental services and testing professionals, RNG producers can ensure that their projects will meet applicable environmental regulations and permitting requirements prior to construction, as well as the facility’s ongoing compliance, reporting, sampling, and testing requirements once in operation. Conclusion Government initiatives and funding are driving the development of food waste RNG facilities. Leveraging food waste for RNG will generate additional economic opportunities while progressing the current Administration’s environmental goals. As North America catches up with Europe in this field, the untapped potential of food waste RNG is poised to become a significant contributor to both environmental and economic objectives.

EPA Propos es Solution for Renewable Energy Storage Although it is by far the most abundant element in the universe, not all hydrogen is created equal. A recent proposal by the U.S. EPA aims to establish a distinct category: renewable hydrogen, also called low-GHG hydrogen. This initiative tackles one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy—storage.  Some sources of renewable energy aren’t fully reliable. For example, windmills can only generate electricity when the wind is blowing, and photovoltaic power plants aren’t practical at night. A stable electric grid needs a certain amount of dependable base-load power, a role that old coal-fired power plants used to perform, and natural gas-fired power plants fulfill today. But for renewable energy plants, battery storage comes with detrimental limitations and a hefty price tag. That’s where low-GHG hydrogen comes in. From an environmental perspective, it’s an ideal fuel. It burns clean and doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases. The rub: most of the world’s hydrogen starts out as natural gas, and the process of converting natural gas to hydrogen release a lot of greenhouse gases, chiefly carbon dioxide. The fix: a traditional method of producing hydrogen—electrolysis. In this process, electricity is passed through ordinary water, releasing hydrogen and oxygen, the elemental components of water. The hydrogen can then be collected, stored, and used for fuel. Hydrogen production via electrolysis is limited today because it costs more than hydrogen produced from natural gas. However, the EPA proposes a solution to require natural gas fired electric-generating stations to co-fire a minimum amount of hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The catch: this hydrogen must be produced via electrolysis, using electricity from renewable or nuclear sources. The proposed standard aims to limit greenhouse gas emissions to 0.45 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram of hydrogen produced, achievable only through renewable or nuclear energy technologies. There are a lot of questions and opinions about this outside-the-box approach, mostly involving the cost, safety, and practicality of refitting turbines and boilers to co-fire hydrogen. If and when these proposed rules will be put into effect has not yet been determined.
