SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Dynamic Environmental Associates, Inc. (DEA) is dedicated to providing clients with complete solutions to their environmental concerns through high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective offerings.

The multi-disciplinary firm founded 25 years ago by David Jermakian, is comprised of senior-level professionals including engineers, scientists, archaeologists, preservationists, and environmental consultants, who are well respected in their areas of expertise.

“We’ve been working with the telecom industry since the mid-1990s when carriers and infrastructure companies realized the need for environmental due diligence along with the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requiring compliance with environmental standards and rules,” said Jermakian, President of DEA. “We were able to help companies understand the regulations and solidify in-house standards to ensure compliance, and have been doing so for over 20 years.”

The core tenets of the DEA philosophy are “Experience, Commitment, Quality, and Innovation.” The firm focuses on Environmental Due Diligence, Natural Resources & Ecological Services, Cultural Resource Management, and Petroleum & Hazardous Materials Management.

“What distinguishes DEA from many firms that offer similar services is not only our commitment but our proven ability to resolve any environmental concern,” said Jermakian.

DEA works with all national carriers and tower companies plus smaller infrastructure companies, nationwide. Their professional environmental services include:

  • Phase I & II Environmental Site Assessments
  • Property Condition Assessments
  • Hazardous Waste Investigation & Remediation
  • Hazardous Materials Management
  • Petroleum Storage Systems Management
  • Health & Safety Programs
  • Pollution Prevention (P2) Programs
  • Environmental Regulatory Compliance Programs
  • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Compliance
  • Wetland Delineations and Mitigation Design
  • Biological Surveys & Assessments
  • Cultural Resource Surveys
  • Impact Mitigation Design


With many firms offering similar services,
what sets DEA apart? According to Jermakian, “We’re a small company with experienced individuals. Environmental due diligence and compliance work for wireless infrastructure development can be routine. The difference comes into play when there’s an atypical site such as a difficult location or where potential impacts to endangered species, wetlands, or cultural resources have been identified. That’s where our expertise comes into play for our clients.”

DEA prides themselves on the fact that the company has always successfully completed projects even when they ran up against significant challenges. “One example of a challenging project was encountering a site with both wetlands and archeological site impacts. The client’s environmental team was pushing for them to walk away, concerned the obstacles were too difficult to overcome but the market was unable to identify an alternative property within the search ring,” said Jermakian. “Our team felt strongly that they could tackle the problems and worked with the client, State Historic Preservation Office, the wetland regulators, and Native American Tribes to develop and implement a reasonable mitigation strategy to get the tower built.”

DEA strives to be at the forefront of any changes in industry regulations to better service clients, from small cell networks to NEPA compliance to the way they interact with tribal representatives. DEA also works closely with the FCC, historic preservation organizations, Native American tribes and more.

After 25 years in the business, Jermakian is most proud of the dedication of DEA staff and the close working relationships developed with clients. “We want to work with you, not for you. We always want to be side by side with you, understanding your goals and expectations, meeting and exceeding them,” said Jermakian. “Having a good working relationship and giving our best service and advice is paramount to always doing what’s best for our clients.”

There’s a built-in philosophy at DEA – constantly improving to be successful. Their mission statement says it all: We will continuously ascend as leaders in our field. We will provide expert counsel, support, and innovative solutions.
