History of Jones Environmental
Spanning 3 generations, the Jones Family has serviced the environmental & UST needs of the Ark-La-Tex for over 70 years. In 1937 Fred and W.D. Jones established operations in New Orleans, Louisiana specializing in the installation and servicing of underground storage tanks and piping. In 1953, the brothers incorporated as Jones Brothers Company (JBC) in Bossier City, Louisiana. Over time the company matured into full-service petroleum marketing equipment/UST specialty company and developed a reputation for high quality, cost-effective services. JBC’s primarily distributed equipment lines include Gilbarco (53 years), OPW (30 years), Modern Tanks, Hall Tanks, Smith Fiberglass Pipe, AmFab, Environ, and Containment Solutions.

As environmental issues surfaced in the early 1980’s, W.D’s sons recognized the need for further specialization and established Jones Environmental, Inc (JEI) in Shreveport, Louisiana. Thus, the Jones Family work ethic and reputation for high quality, cost-effective services were passed down to the environmental operations. Since inception JEI has maintained a solid relationship with the LDEQ, TCEQ, OCC, & ADEQ, maintaining its Response Action Contractor (RAC) status in Louisiana for over 20 years. Initially, JEI primarily specialized in emergency spill response (hazardous & non-hazardous). Since that time JEI has become well staffed and equipped to manage a much broader scope of environmental issues.
