Companies contracting with government entities to provide environmental services.
We notice that some new water treatment companies obtain their initial operational license without adequate review of periodic renewal requirements accompanying it, later encountering an additional technical requirement at renewal time that wasn't required at the initial license, resulting from an update to technical standards applied to this type of activity during the intervening period between the two licenses.
