GSS deploys licensed water treatment chemists, HAZWOPER-certified field technicians, and registered environmental professionals to facilities nationwide — federal agencies, state and local governments, and commercial clients from coast to coast. We protect public health, safeguard government assets, and produce technically defensible results that hold up to regulatory scrutiny — from controlling scale and corrosion in cooling towers and boilers to closing RCRA corrective action findings and characterizing PFAS contamination. Every program we deliver is built on documented water chemistry data, written treatment plans, and verified field performance — not supplier templates or guesswork.
Green and Sustainable Services (GSS) is a full-spectrum environmental services firm built on a single principle: every facility — federal agency, state or local government, commercial office tower, hospital, hotel, school, or industrial plant — deserves the same technical depth that the most demanding clients receive. Our staff — licensed chemists, certified water treatment specialists, HAZWOPER-trained field technicians, and registered environmental professionals — design, implement, and monitor every program we deliver. We do not broker services, assign generalists, or rely on supplier templates. Every recommendation is traceable to data. Every program is governed by documented procedures. Every result is verifiable.
Our technical programs are built on partnerships with the most capable water treatment chemistry and environmental supply firms in the industry — giving clients across the public and private sectors access to automated monitoring platforms, advanced biofilm detection technology, and specialty formulations that independent contractors cannot match. If your building has running water, a cooling system, a boiler, or environmental compliance obligations, GSS has the credentials and field experience to manage it. Every program is backed by water analysis data, dosing calculations, and documented performance metrics — not guesswork.
Phosphonate, azole, and polymer-based inhibitor programs engineered to your system's specific water chemistry and metallurgy
Personnel holding active DoD and federal security clearances for access to sensitive and restricted installations
Regional offices and field teams serving all 50 states with rapid mobilization capability for emergency response
HAZWOPER 40-hour certified crews on standby for chemical spill containment, environmental releases, and contamination events
From cooling tower Langelier Saturation Index management to RCRA Part B hazardous waste permitting — our licensed professionals cover the full spectrum of federal facility environmental requirements
Scale deposits on heat exchanger surfaces cut efficiency and drive up energy costs — we eliminate them and keep them from returning. Corrosion destroys equipment and creates liability — we control it with inhibitor programs sized to your system's metallurgy and water chemistry. Legionella in cooling towers and hot water systems is a public health and legal exposure — we manage it with ASHRAE 188-compliant Water Management Plans, automated monitoring, and documented corrective action protocols. Every program is backed by monthly water analysis reports and real-time automated control.

Environmental violations at government facilities carry consequences that extend far beyond fines — they create enforcement exposure, damage agency reputation, and generate remediation liabilities that compound over time. GSS provides the regulatory depth to keep agencies ahead of those outcomes: multi-media compliance programs covering air, water, land, and chemical management; Phase I and II site assessments that identify and characterize contamination before it becomes a crisis; PFAS characterization and remediation support as this emerging contaminant class drives new requirements across all levels of government; and EO 14057 sustainability implementation that turns federal mandates into documented, auditable results.

Operations and maintenance programs for government buildings integrating ASHRAE 55/62.1 indoor environment standards, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager benchmarking, and CMMS-driven preventive maintenance scheduling. Clean heat transfer surfaces reduce chiller energy consumption — even a thin scale deposit measurably increases operating costs. HVAC commissioning, IAQ monitoring, and waste stream diversion programs targeting zero-landfill compliance.

EPA-registered chemical handling, secondary containment design, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management (PSM) compliance for federal facilities storing threshold quantities of hazardous chemicals. Chemical inventory management, SDS administration, and TIER II reporting under EPCRA Section 312.

NELAC/TNI-accredited water quality analysis using EPA-approved methods: SM 9223B for coliform, EPA 200.8 for dissolved metals, EPA 524.2 for VOCs, and culture-based Legionella pneumophila quantification per ISO 11731. Rapid turnaround with electronic data deliverables (EDD) formatted for agency LIMS integration.

Rapid deployment for petroleum hydrocarbon releases, chemical spills, and biological contamination events. HAZWOPER 40-hour certified crews equipped for IDLH atmospheres, confined space entry, and Level B/C PPE operations. NRC-reportable spill response with regulatory notification, containment, and post-incident remediation under 40 CFR Part 300.
View Program Details →Every GSS engagement follows a structured, data-driven methodology — from baseline characterization through ongoing performance verification
Complete water chemistry analysis (LSI, RSI, hardness, alkalinity, TDS, microbiological counts), system metallurgy review, dead leg identification, and regulatory compliance gap assessment. For boiler systems: feedwater quality, condensate return contamination, and blowdown efficiency evaluation. All findings documented in a formal Site Assessment Report.
Treatment program design based on actual water analysis data — inhibitor selection, dosing calculations, control parameter targets (pH 7.0–8.5, conductivity setpoints, biocide residuals), and monitoring frequency. Submitted as a written Technical Treatment Plan.
Licensed technicians install and commission automated chemical feed and monitoring equipment, execute initial system cleaning and passivation protocols, and verify that all control parameters are operating within design specifications — all while maintaining uninterrupted facility operations. For water treatment programs, this includes controller installation, probe calibration, and baseline performance verification before the ongoing program begins.
Scheduled service visits with on-site water analysis, controller calibration, and system inspection. Monthly compliance reports documenting all test results, chemical consumption, and corrective actions — formatted to agency and regulatory requirements.
Government environmental work — whether federal, state, or local — demands more than technical competence. It requires fluency in procurement vehicles, compliance mandates, security protocols, and the specific regulatory frameworks governing publicly owned facilities. GSS was built from the ground up to operate within these requirements, not adapt to them after the fact.

"After a positive Legionella culture result in our cooling tower, GSS was on-site within four hours. They identified dead legs in the terminated piping as the root cause, executed an emergency hyperchlorination protocol, resampled within 72 hours per ISO 11731, and had us back to normal operations with a fully documented ASHRAE 188-compliant WMP in place. Zero recurrence in 18 months since."
"GSS conducted our RCRA compliance audit and identified three areas of non-conformance we had missed internally. They developed the corrective action plan, coordinated directly with the regional EPA office, and we closed all findings before the formal inspection. Their regulatory knowledge is the real thing."
"GSS replaced our legacy chromate-based cooling tower program with a modern phosphonate/azole inhibitor program. Cycles of concentration went from 2.8 to 5.1, water consumption dropped 38%, and we eliminated a listed hazardous waste stream in the process. Automated monitoring now maintains chemical residuals continuously. The ROI was fully documented within the first contract year — and we haven't had a compliance issue since."
