From archaeological site investigations to resource efficiency audits to carbon management services, SLR has been involved in projects that truly span across the globe.You can see a list of some of their highlighted projects here.SLR Consulting has been providing consulting services to Cabot since 2009 and has been involved with both water and air quality projects for our Marcellus operations.We sent a few questions to Jessica Stark, Principal Engineer with SLR who has been working with Cabot, to learn a bit more about SLR.What does SLR Consulting’s global footprint look like?SLR Consulting has an expanding network of offices in the USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australasia, and Africa, and an international client base. We have ten offices in the United States. SLR specializes in the energy, waste management, mining & minerals, infrastructure, planning & development, and industrial sectors.How is the company involved in specifically the air quality area of Cabot’s operations?On the air quality side, SLR started out providing air permitting support for the operations in Wyoming and Colorado. In 2010 we started helping Cabot to develop their corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting program for compliance with new GHG reporting requirements passed by Environmental Protection Agency.In addition to the GHG project, SLR provides corporate air quality regulatory support by tracking new regulatory developments applicable to the oil and gas industry and informing Cabot’s environmental managers about upcoming changes and requirements. In West Virginia and Pennsylvania, we provide air permitting and compliance assistance, and earlier this year we assisted Cabot in preparing their first Pennsylvania Air Emissions Inventory.How many employees do you have working on the air quality projects?Of the 80 air quality professionals in SLR, we have about six engineers and scientists who are very familiar with the air quality side of Cabot’s operations. There are also about eight other folks who have helped out in some capacity on either regulatory review or field work during the Equipment Inventory that was performed in 2011 and the first half of 2012.
