Environmental, Safety & Health

The protection of the environment and the safety of our employees is a priority for the development of our CBM operations. CBM operations are environmentally friendly when properly managed. We pride ourselves on insuring to the best of our ability that we are in compliance with each environmental law and regulation and safety standard. GeoMet has employees whose sole responsibility is to ensure compliance with all Federal and State environmental rules and regulations. Our Management provides guidance and training to our field employees to emphasize awareness of our environmental and safety responsibilities. Our monitoring systems are designed to enable us to surpass established air and water quality standards. We routinely meet and update environmental groups to inform them of our operations and our commitment to protect the environment.
