Pinyon Broadens Geographic Footprint

Leading environmental firm continues to grow in Colorado and Arizona,
while opening offices in Montana, Texas, and Wisconsin.

 Lakewood, Colorado – November 15, 2021: B uilding on their success as one of the largest environmentally focused consulting firms in Colorado, Pinyon Environmental is proud to announce that they are opening offices in Montana, Texas,  and Wisconsin as operations in Colorado and Arizona continue to grow and thrive.


Arizona: Pinyon has been working steadily in Arizona since 2013. Currently led by Chris Funk, the office has grown to six employees and is capable of supporting Pinyon’s full spectrum of environmental services. In 2014 Pinyon was awarded an on-call with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) under the Arizona Superfund Response Action Contract. This contract was renewed in 2019, allowing the firm to continue providing characterization and remediation of complex sites for ADEQ across the state. In addition to the wide range of task orders under the ADEQ programs, Pinyon provides environmental support on transportation projects throughout Arizona for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), municipalities, and local jurisdictions. Pinyon recently added ADEQ’s Statewide Assessment and Remediation Contract and ADOT’s I-17 Design Build Project to their growing resume in the state. Pinyon is excited to help their clients continue to navigate environmental complexities in the region.


Upper Midwest: Pinyon’s Chase Taylor has been promoted to lead the firm’s new Upper Midwest office. Chase brings 10 years of industry experience (the last six with Pinyon) with both regional and national clients. His experience implementing and managing a wide variety of projects in the transportation, energy, utilities, and federal workspace has prepared him for the responsibility of leading a team at the new location.

Under Chase’s leadership, Pinyon is currently completing biological and wetland work on a federal road rehabilitation and realignment project for the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Wisconsin for the US Department of Transportation. The firm also has experience supporting varied air quality, biological, cultural, due diligence, energy, industrial hygiene, permitting, regulatory compliance, and transportation projects in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, and South Dakota. By opening this office, Pinyon is aiming to be more regionally suited to continue to support and invest in long-term working relationships, as well as be part of opportunities with new clients. Pinyon is positioned to offer extensive environmental services to clients in the Upper Midwest.


Northern Colorado: Pinyon’s Rachel Tometich has been promoted to lead the Northern Colorado Office. A 7-year veteran of the firm, Rachel has experience with a wide variety of Pinyon’s core services and has worked on projects ranging from remediation to National Environmental Policy Act. With her thorough understanding of the company’s mission, culture, and service offerings she has what it takes to continue to grow Pinyon’s presence in the region.

Twenty-seven years ago, Pinyon won its first project, a modest underground storage tank remediation in Greeley, Colorado. As of today, they have completed over 200 projects for dozens of clients across the Northern Colorado region. These projects include the Northern Integrated Supply Project for Northern Water that aims to provide a secure water future for Northern Colorado and the Colorado Department of Transportation North I-25 project that directly addresses the major growth in the region. In 2020, Pinyon opened the Northern Colorado office which allows the firm to respond more quickly to client needs with a team of local experts supported by the Lakewood office. Most importantly, it continues Pinyon’s commitment to be part, and support the needs of, the Northern Colorado community. Pinyon is excited to be a part of the growth of this expansive community and help address future environmental challenges with innovative solutions.


Texas & Montana: Pinyon has opened offices in Texas and Montana to better support clients and retain key employees. These two offices allow Pinyon to provide more comprehensive services in these two states, and the surrounding areas, with a local presence. Additionally, this strategic growth aligns with the company’s vision of attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent, while continually improving products and services.


While geographic expansion is essential to Pinyon’s continued success as a company, the firm remains focused on continuing to provide exemplary service to current clients. Pinyon is committed to maintaining their status as the “go-to” environmental consulting firm in Colorado, Arizona, and beyond.
