The Group's History
2006
The Environmental Remediation Group (ERG) is founded in 2006. The founding members, Jim Keegan, Danny Baysa, and Skye Green along with other key personnel joined to form a team of pioneers in the remediation industry and in the development and operation of subsurface air movement remediation technologies. ERG team members amassed an impressive list of environmental industry firsts, including: the development of vapor extraction technology; the early development and use of multi phase extraction (MPE), the first to design and implement Air Sparging technology in California; the first to use ISCO for the remediation of MTBE in California; the first successful use of high vacuums and pneumatic soil fracturing to remove contaminants from low permeability soils (<10-7 cm/s); the first full-scale application of an integrated soil vapor extraction/multi phase extraction and Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) system; and the first use of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) at a commercial Site in California.
2012
The Environmental Remediation Group (ERG) merges with Civil Environmental Survey (CES), to form the CES Group in 2012. CES Group continues to operate at the forefront of remediation technologies, implementing several in-situ thermal remediation (ISTR) projects using ERH, as well as 100+ remediation projects involving ISCO, bioremediation, SVE, MPE, Air Sparging, groundwater pump & treat, and excavation. In addition to remediation services, CES continues to grow other core competencies, including: Site Assessment; Landfill Operations, Monitoring, and Maintenance; Stormwater Pollution Prevention; OM&M and Long Term Monitoring (LTM) Projects.
2022
CES Group brings on board Robert D’Anjou and Allen Swift to relaunch The Environmental Remediation Group as a Division of CES Group, with Michael Dodson joining the team as Strategic Advisor. The newly amalgamated team brings with them experience successfully implementing over 110 thermal remediation projects around the world using ERH, electric and fuel combustion TCH, as well as SEE, adding decades of experience running thermal remediation companies at the highest levels to ERG’s already impressive history of remediation technology development and implementation.
