Resource Management Associates (RMA) bridges the divide between convoluted government mandates and actual industrial operations. We deliver senior-level attention from day one, radical pricing transparency, and zero retainer traps.
When Doug Ruhlin founded Resource Management Associates in 1992, traditional environmental consulting firms operated under an opaque model: high-level partners pitched prospects with vague promises, work was delegated to junior graduates learning on the client's dime, and monthly retainer invoices spiraled without clear deliverables.
RMA was built on an opposite philosophy: "Get Environmental Help, The Easy Way." We believe that industrial and commercial operators deserve clear, straightforward answers. If you do not trigger a regulatory threshold, we tell you immediately and save you money. When compliance is required, we craft defensible programs engineered to withstand rigorous state and federal EPA audits.
You work directly with proven environmental leaders who have spent decades defending industrial facilities.
