Our mission is to solve environmental compliance problems for industrial and governmental/infrastructure facilities. We are a growing and dynamic organization of highly respected professionals. Yorke Engineering, LLC has assisted over 1,800 client organizations with their Air Quality and Environmental Compliance, Engineering, and Permitting needs. Our philosophy is to efficiently help government and industrial customers with the complex array of environmental laws and regulations. From simple permits to complex agency negotiations, from small companies to the largest of California's organizations, Yorke successfully solves our clients' Air Quality and Environmental challenges. Our team has over 1,000 years of combined environmental experience and consists of engineers and scientists that specialize in Air Quality, Waste, Water, CEQA, Safety, and Industrial Hygiene.
