PM Environmental is Ranked No. 1 (published: Monday, June 07, 2010, The Oakland Press)
PM Environmental, a Michigan-based environmental consulting and Brownfield redevelopment firm, has been ranked one of the nation’s leading providers of Phase I environmental site assessments.

In the first quarter of 2010, PM Environmental broke into the ScoreKeeper EDR25 Index at No. 19; the company was ranked No. 1 in Michigan for the seventh consecutive quarter.

PME PARTICIPATED IN THE THIRD ANNUAL "TOUCH A TRUCK" HOSTED BY THE BIRMINGHAM YOUTH ASSISTANCE
The “Touch a Truck” is a great event where kids could get “hands on” with the things they love and sit in big fire trucks, police cars, tree trimming trucks, cranes, etc. Bruce Lemmon hosted with PME’s own 6610 Geoprobe. There were a number of what is that? And what does it do and why?
Bruce enjoyed answering the questions of many parents and their kids about what we do, why and for whom. I would guess 1 out of 20 families had a mom or dad who remotely knew of what we do (one was even a competitor). With in an hour there were over 100 families walking around a cul-de-sac of ~15 trucks. The event raises money for the prevention and reduction of juvenile delinquency, child abuse and child neglect, by providing positive alternatives to children and families
What a thrill to see families and their kids lined up to take a photo in front of a Geoprobe while getting educated on our industry.

MICHIGAN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING FIRM BREAKS INTO BANKS OF COUNTRY'S TOP 25 PHASE I PROVIDERS
Lansing, MI, April 26, 2010 - PM Environmental, a Michigan-based environmental consulting firm, has been ranked one of the nation’s leading providers of Phase I environmental site assessments, according to data released this week by Milford, Connecticut-based Environmental Data Resources (EDR).
EDR, whose market research arm created ScoreKeeper, the market monitor for the environmental due diligence industry, releases quarterly results that provide strategic information on Phase I environmental site assessment (ESA) activity by region, state, metropolitan area and individual firm. ScoreKeeper includes the EDR25 Index, a tool used to track the performance trends of the top 25 ESA providers, which collectively accounted for one-third of all Phase Is conducted in the U.S. in 2009.
Phase I environmental site assessments are used by real estate investors, lenders and other entities to assess a commercial property’s potential for environmental contamination. According to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), property owners can be held liable for contamination, even if they didn’t cause it, unless they contract with a qualified environmental professional to conduct a pre-purchase environmental site assessment investigation—a “Phase I ESA”—prior to purchase.
In the first quarter of 2010, PM Environmental broke into the ScoreKeeper EDR25 Index at number 19; the company was ranked number one in Michigan for the seventh consecutive quarter.
“We are very pleased that we have experienced quarter on quarter volume increases in these difficult economic times,” said Mike Kulka, PM Environmental’s owner and founder. “We’re also very proud of all our professionals on staff who helped us make it into the index of top companies in the U.S. market.”
“PME is to be congratulated on their success, particularly in an extremely tough year for Phase I firms,” said Dianne Crocker, a senior economist and managing director of EDR’s Market Research Group. “Last year, commercial real estate transactions were down 67 percent, and Phase I volume fell by 23 percent below 2008 levels. Yet through hard work and innovative business strategies, PME managed to not just survive, but thrive. In one year, they moved up seven places to secure a solid position in the EDR25 Index.”
