History

Environmental Alliance, Inc. was founded in 1991 by William Smith, P.G. Prior to the incorporation of Alliance, Mr. Smith was the COO of Groundwater Technologies, Inc. Mr. Paul C. Miller, P.E. joined Alliance in 1993. Mr. Miller was a regional director for Groundwater Technologies, Inc. The two principals of Alliance account for over 60 years of experience in the environmental field.

Since the inception of the firm, Alliance has grown an average of six to eight percent per year and has completed over 1,400 remediation and environmental consulting projects. Alliance has quickly grown into a mid-sized engineering and consulting firm. The simultaneous evolution of the environmental consulting industry into a few large firms and many small firms has created a niche for Alliance. That niche is comprised of a handful of regional firms who employ a diversified and experienced staff that can provide the extensive skills and expertise of a large scale environmental firm, while maintaining the relatively low overhead costs of a smaller firm dedicated to clients and projects. Alliance has capitalized on its position in the marketplace by entering into contracts with, and providing services for, many large industrial and petroleum companies with operations in the Mid-Atlantic and east coast regions of the country, along with several State-led and municipal contracts.
