Carpenter Environmental Associates

Science and engineering for good. Drs. Bruce Bell and Raul Cardenas founded Carpenter Environmental Associates, Inc. in 1980 on the principles of environmental protections and stewardship: our expertise was tapped early on by Riverkeeper, to protect the mighty Hudson River. Our reputation is built on science and engineering solutions, ingenuity and integrity in our work, and direct and honest client communications. Nearly 40 years later, we’re still creating solutions to some of our time’s most challenging environmental issues. Whether it’s permitting, conducting investigations and monitoring, providing litigation support, or designing mitigation and remediation projects, our whole-team approach means you get the attention you need and deserve, and with a swift turnaround, too. Carpenter Environmental values our relationships with nonprofit, municipal, and landowner clients, as well as our agency connections and wide network of experts. In 2012, Kim Bell Hosea took the reins as owner of CEA from her father, Bruce Bell, as he transitioned to an advisory role in retirement. We also formed CEA Engineers, P.C. to meet a growing engineering need. Carpenter Environmental is incorporated in New York and Georgia, and has offices in Pine Island, New York and Turlock, California. We work throughout North America and internationally.
