NewFields engineering services and environmental and social services groups coordinate to ensure that existing conditions are accounted for in selection of facility location, design, operation, and closure. Existing environmental and social conditions combined with findings from traditional site characterization studies are used as input to design and mitigate potential impacts that can cause delays in the permitting process.
