Environmental Compliance for Wood & Timber Products Industries

Running a facility in the wood and timber industry can mean many regulations. The team at RMA is here to help you with compliance. 

Helping the Wood & Timber Industries with Environmental Compliance

In the wood and timber industry, there is no shortage of regulations no matter what type of business you operate. Sometimes it can feel like it's almost impossible to keep track of, let alone maintain. Whether your business deals more with resources directly or final products, your operations have a direct impact on the land. Compliance might seem unimportant or too expensive to attempt, but we can assure you it's something that's worth your time. It's often better to get ahead of the game and get into compliance than have to scramble once penalties are incurred. 

There's where we can help. You know that you need to get into compliance, but you don't have the time and don't know where to begin. The RMA team is able to not only help you figure out what action items you need to complete to be compliant, we're also the team that can make sure it gets done. From start to finish we're here to help with any of your environmental compliance needs and answer any questions you may have along the way. We've been helping facilities like yours for decades, so you can rest easy knowing you're working with experts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most operations in the United States subject to environmental regulations should focus on regulations coming from the Federal government, their respective state environmental agency, and any local agencies (regional, county, or city). However, additional concerns outside of the realm of environmental regulations, such as Environmental Justice issues, can impact facilities in areas where no other regulations might apply. Also bear in mind that regulators at any level, from the Federal government to your local community, can, within reason, visit your facility or ask for a demonstration of compliance, especially when it comes to obtaining new permits, renewals, facility construction, modification, expansion, etc.

Getting into compliance is like buying a car - how much you'll spend depends on what you need. For locations with few regulatory concerns, environmental compliance can be a cheap and easy thing. For large, complex operations, environmental compliance could cost a small fortune. There's different ways of looking at it too, from regulatory fees paid to government agencies, to the costs of hiring consultants or other outside help, to facility modifications, ongoing compliance tasks, and more.

Just like the price, the timeframe all depends. Some compliance concerns can be identified, the proper paperwork filled out in a few hours, and once you mail that documentation out, you're "in compliance" with environmental regulations. Other regulatory concerns take months to years to apply for, revise, and ultimately get permits and approvals. Again, smaller, simpler operations tend to be able to get into compliance very quickly, while larger, more complex facilities will take much, much longer.
