Core Service Areas

Specialist Depth When It Matters Most

Twenty years of federal conservation and environmental practice, university research, and active site work β€” including a PhD in Biological and Agricultural Engineering and direct USDA NRCS field experience β€” produces a depth of capability most regional consultants cannot offer. GSS is a specialist resource, not a generalist firm.

Core Service

Environmental Data Analysis & Report Writing

PhD-level analytical capacity for contaminated site data interpretation, groundwater monitoring reports, compliance documentation, and technical report review. The highest-value, highest-margin B2B offering.

Ideal for: Environmental engineering firms seeking senior-level analytical subcontract support, especially for complex data sets or regulatory deliverables where accuracy carries liability.

Subcontract Available Remote Delivery Inquire for Scope & Availability
Core Service

Groundwater Monitoring & GMP Development

Active NHDES/EPA-regulated hazardous waste site experience. Monitoring well sampling, water table characterization, groundwater monitoring plan (GMP) development and technical review.

Ideal for: Environmental consultants and PRPs at contaminated sites requiring qualified subcontract field and analytical support. Particularly relevant for firms with NH remediation portfolios.

Core Service

Wetland Delineation β€” NH CWS Certification Pending

Hands-on wetland delineation experience from NRCS field work, now formalized through NH Certified Wetland Scientist (CWS) certification application. NH is the only New England state requiring a CWS stamp.

Ideal for: Engineering firms, developers, and conservation organizations requiring NH CWS-stamped delineations. Strong candidate for overflow subcontract relationships with NH-focused wetland firms.

Why GSS

A Combination of Credentials
Rarely Found in One Practitioner

Engineering firms, conservation organizations, and regulated industries in New Hampshire regularly need specialist technical depth that goes beyond generalist staff capacity. GSS provides exactly that β€” as a flexible subcontract resource that extends your team's capability without adding headcount.

Active Site Work

NHDES / EPA-Regulated Groundwater Characterization

Active hazardous waste site engagement β€” the kind of live, billable project experience that matters most to engineering firms evaluating a subcontractor.

Federal Policy Background

Clean Water Act, ESA & National Engineering Manual

Policy development experience from inside USDA NRCS β€” an asset when working with regulated entities, agencies, and permitting authorities that few private consultants carry.

Certifications In Progress

NH CWS & NRCS TSP β€” Both Applications Active

NH is the only New England state requiring a Certified Wetland Scientist stamp for delineations. TSP certification unlocks direct EQIP/AMA/CSP federal funding pipelines. Both applications active now.

Field Experience

Hands-On Wetland Delineation from NRCS

Direct wetland delineation field experience from federal service β€” not classroom training. Directly supports CWS certification and positions GSS as a credible subcontractor to NH wetland firms.

Established Network

NRCS Relationships Throughout NH

Years of working relationships with NH NRCS State Office staff β€” the referral network that makes TSP certification a warm application rather than a cold one, and opens doors to EQIP-funded farm project flow.

Cross-Sector Water Systems

Water & Wastewater Across Municipal, Agricultural & Aquaculture

Few practitioners carry water systems expertise across all three sectors. This cross-domain depth underpins both the environmental consulting track and the CEA/aquatic systems specialty.

How GSS Works With Firms

A Trusted Extension of Your Technical Team

GSS works best as a subcontract technical partner β€” providing specialist depth that complements your existing team on the projects where it's needed most. The engagement is flexible: project-specific support, retainer arrangements, or ongoing overflow capacity.

Environmental firms across the Seacoast regularly engage specialist subconsultants for groundwater characterization, complex data analysis, wetland delineation, and NRCS-related agricultural work. GSS brings active regulatory project experience, 20+ years of federal and applied practice, and the analytical depth of a graduate engineering program β€” available when you need it.

The result is a working relationship that feels like a senior colleague, not an outside vendor.
