AEG SUMMARY In 1993 a University of Michigan student interned for a young Western Michigan University environmental professional in a new and quickly growing industry. In a few short years, Jeff Heydanek developed a business plan and convinced Scott Staber that venturing out on their own was the right thing to do.

In the few decades since beginning in a 60 sf basement office in Canton, Michigan, J. Scott Environmental (Jeff & Scott) has grown into a multi-million dollar environmental consulting, testing and technical company, servicing all of Michigan and the Midwest. Arch Environmental Group (AEG) is uniquely structured to handle a wide variety of your environmental needs and concerns - in fact, we have diversified over these years in a manner to “bridge your environmental needs”.

Professional Staffing AEG has one of the largest and most experienced environmental professional staffs in the State of Michigan. With a combined 50+ years of experience, the Owners of AEG are pleased to have a staff that includes Asbestos Inspectors, Asbestos Management Planners, Asbestos Project Designers, NIOSH 582 fiber counters, lead Inspectors, Lead Risk Assessors, Certified Microbial Consultants, Certified Hazardous Materials Managers, 40-hour HAZWOPER technicians, Certified Industrial Stormwater Operators, Certified Construction Site Stormwater Operators, UST Class A & B Operators, DOT Fleet Compliance trained personnel, DOT HM-126 Hazardous Materials trained personnel, DOT Security trained personnel, CDL drivers (with Hazardous Waste Endorsements).
