Sub-Surface Waste Management’s subsidiary, Environmental Tec International, S.A. de C.V. (ETI), signed an agreement with Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (BUAP) to exercise services for the State of Puebla’s Secretaria Del Medio Ambiente Y Recursos Naturales (Secretariat).
ETI and BUAP will begin establishing a State-wide environmental regulatory permit and fee structure program, in addition to training a Secretariat staff. The project was designed to be a model for other states to follow.
ETI could be offered nationwide coverage by the Press and Television for their significant contribution. The subsidiary will guide the program with its professional services, and utilize the technical skills of BUAP students.
Bruce Beattie, CEO of SSWM, stated, “Once this program of regulatory permits and compliance enforcement is underway it will operate with self-funding mechanisms similar to that found in US State and Federal regulatory agencies. As the Secretariat staff expands to meet the anticipated workload, professional and technical career opportunities will be created for BUAP students upon graduation. Additionally, in time the State and its industries will expand pollution control resources and infrastructures further stimulating employment and international investment opportunities to locate new business ventures that must comply with the International Standards Organization requirements for environmental compliance in manufactured goods and services. The work is expected to commence in May/June 2007.”
