Most notable was the addition of a complete drilling services group with the equipment and knowledge required for conducting environmental and geotechnical drilling projects completely in-house.  

By doing so, we are better able to control costs to ensure that our client’s budgets are maintained, even when unexpected changes in scope are encountered. Almost all of our larger competitors in the region are required to subcontract their drilling services. Cribbs & Associates possesses the unique capability of providing all the services of some of the larger regional consulting firms with the low overhead efficiencies of a smaller company which allow us to provide our services at significantly discounted prices.

As per Title 49, Chapter 37 of the Pennsylvania Code, any person conducting Professional Geologic Work in the state of Pennsylvania must be licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. Professional Geologic Work is described as the performance of geological services including technical completeness reviews or inspections that require the utilization, application and interpretation of fundamental and practical principles of the geological sciences. In addition all reports submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) containing any form of geologic or hydrogeologic interpretation must be reviewed and stamped by a certified Professional Geologist.

Phase I Environmental Assessments

Subsequently, the US Environmental Protection Agency Ruling 40 CFR Part 312, which took effect on November 1, 2006, recognized the revised ASTM Standard E 1527-05 as an acceptable guidance document for satisfying the AAI due diligence process. Therefore, Cribbs & Associates, Inc. conducts all Phase I Environmental Assessments according to ASTM Standard E 1527-05.
