Institutional Environmental Science & Public Health Authority
Pacific Rim Eco is a doctoral-led, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned environmental consulting firm. We deliver bank-grade due diligence, commercial diagnostics, and habitability auditing across Southern California and Arizona with zero conflict of interest.
Founded on the principle of unassailable scientific truth, Pacific Rim Eco bridges the gap between complex public health epidemiology, environmental microbiology, and commercial real estate due diligence. We operate exclusively as an independent diagnostic and consulting firm—never performing remediation or construction cleanup.
Whether advising commercial lenders on ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESAs, managing active construction SWPPP water quality compliance, or conducting multi-family habitability investigations for municipalities and legal counsel, our team delivers data that stands up to strict lender underwriting, regulatory review, and courtroom scrutiny.
