Environmental & Turf Services (ETS) is an interdisciplinary firm with extensive collective experience working with agriculture, turf, golf courses, firing ranges, and hazardous site investigations. Dr. Stuart Cohen founded ETS in January, 1991. Since that time, it has grown to a staff of seven.
The company has worked on projects from Massachusetts to Hawaii, and points in between. ETS' services of providing scientific assistance and expert testimony has been beneficial in assisting companies that are doing their best to comply with increasing regulatory demands.
Golf Courses: Hawaii, California (including Pebble Beach), Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, and several other states.
Firing Ranges: California, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, Washington, plus global BMP program for the U.S. Navy.
