About BLG Consulting LLC
Experience. Local Knowledge. Personal Commitment.
BLG Consulting LLC is an environmental consulting firm based in Grand Junction, Colorado, providing professional environmental assessment, investigation, regulatory compliance, and remediation services throughout Western Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region.
Founded by Blaine Garwood, a Professional Geologist with more than 36 years of environmental consulting experience, BLG Consulting combines the technical capabilities and experience of a seasoned environmental professional with the responsiveness, flexibility, and personal attention of a locally owned business.
The firm's primary services include Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, environmental due diligence, site investigations, and environmental conditions evaluations for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and redevelopment properties. BLG also provides environmental site characterization, petroleum storage tank investigations, groundwater monitoring, regulatory compliance assistance, and remediation planning and oversight.
BLG Consulting works with property owners, real estate investors, developers, lenders, attorneys, businesses, and other organizations that need dependable environmental information to support property transactions, regulatory decisions, and environmental management.
Our approach is straightforward: understand the property, identify potential environmental concerns, evaluate their significance, and provide clear, practical recommendations. We recognize that environmental consulting is not simply about identifying problems; it is about helping clients understand their options and make informed, cost-conscious decisions.
Local Knowledge Makes a Difference
Western Colorado presents unique environmental conditions influenced by its geology, groundwater resources, agricultural history, industrial development, mining activities, and changing land uses.
BLG Consulting brings extensive regional knowledge to each assignment, including familiarity with local environmental conditions, historical property uses, and the regulatory requirements that can affect property transactions and environmental investigations.
This local perspective, combined with decades of professional experience, allows BLG to approach each project with an understanding of the conditions and challenges that may be encountered.
