Some of Our Clients

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

“All the ERG folks that we have here are outstanding and do exceptional work. Sometimes an ERG staff member goes above and beyond to assist others, and it causes awe and a pause to smile at the extra efforts. Thanks for the great stuff you are providing.”

- Chief, Environmental Compliance Branch, U.S. Army Installation 

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

“ERG met every deadline and generated a product that transcended what had previously only been talked about. The final product has been praised by the state, has passed legal muster, and is approaching review at the highest levels after a year of implementation. ERG brought a level of expertise and professionalism to this effort that I was not used to as a COR (Contracting Officer’s Representative). They exceeded expectations on every level, bringing a concept to fruition that may ultimately change the way that the Army does business.”

- Chief, Environmental Division, U.S. Army installation
