Enviro-Klean Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in March, 2003 for the sole purpose of designing, manufacturing, assembling and servicing alternative onsite sewage systems (AOSS).
Founders were Mike Clark and Bill Anderson who had been in the business of real estate development and historic preservation since 1997.
Clark, Enviro-Klean president, is a native of Michigan where he was involved as an electrical contractor. After spending several years in various phases of home construction in Central Virginia in the 1970s and early 1980s, Clark relocated his business to the San Francisco Bay area of California. In 1990 he and his family returned to Virginia, buying a small farm in Fluvanna County from which he based his operations.
In 1995, a year after retiring from the Washington, DC area where he was a trade association executive for 30 years, Anderson, Enviro-Klean treasurer, and his wife moved to a new home at Lake Monticello in Fluvanna County. Soon thereafter he and Clark became good friends and began jointly investing in real estate development – Single family home development at Kent Farms subdivision in northeastern Fluvanna County.
It was during this period that they found that some of the best building sites in Central Virginia would not perk for a standard septic/drain field system and were unusable. This led to the founding of the company in 2003 when they discovered Norweco, an Ohio-based developer of alternative systems for residences and small commercial and industrial users seeking to overcome non-perk problem lots.
On two and a half acres of a 24-acre industrial site near Zion Crossroads, Enviro-Klean built a modern facility with company offices as well as a drive-through lane where concrete trucks are able to deliver their loads to create the concrete tanks which are at the core of the alternative systems. At this time, Tim Miller, PE and president of Meridian Planning Group, which helps with system designs and Phil Clark, Mike’s son, became shareholders in the company.
