Environmental Consulting to Management
Experience and Value

Biomass Plant

Arc5’s founder, Dave Minott, has retired, capping a long environmental-consulting career. Dave’s primary areas of expertise were air quality, the energy sector, and waste prevention/management.

Prior to Dave Minott’s retirement, Arc5 provided specialized environmental consulting services nationally in the energy sector, focused on bioenergy and waste-to-energy. A particular strength was air quality expertise for energy generation.

Meeting

Arc5 consulted directly to management. For new capital projects, Arc5 assumed responsibility for developing and implementing effective environmental permitting strategies. When a permitting engagement required additional specialized expertise or a broad resource base, Arc5 had the extensive professional ties nationally to arrange and manage this. Arc5 directed the environmental consultant team during the engagement, and serving on that team, provided expert environmental services for siting, permitting, impact assessment, and stakeholder engagement. For existing energy facilities, Arc5 furnished expert guidance on pro-active approaches for staying in environmental compliance.

Arc5 Environmental Consulting served project developers, industrial facilities, public sector entities, and transaction financiers.
