accept scrap materials from its member companies. Over 1,400 facilities were evaluated in 2010 and over

1,660 sites in 2011. About 10,000 reports were distributed each year to member companies through a

web-based report depository and automatic ordering system.

Directed environmental, health and safety audits at chemical manufacturing facilities in Europe, Asia, and

South America for Hercules Corporation. Local consulting staff with familiarity of the country

regulations performed the audits and submitted the findings, including a corrective action table,

electronically. Mr. DiMambro managed the project, selected and coordinated staff, reviewed all

deliverables, and coordinated schedules with the client. The audits were intended to provide useful

compliance information to the facility staff; results emphasized compliance action items and corrective

actions.

Directed a contract providing nationwide compliance audit and assessment services to the Defense

Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS, now called DLA Disposition Services). Mr. DiMambro

managed a contract for this division within the Defense Logistics Agency charged with managing and

disposing of excess materials and waste from military installations. The contract required environmental,

health and safety audit and evaluation services to DRMS for three types of facilities handling hazardous

materials: DRMS– operated waste storage and recycling facilities on military bases (DRMO), a detailed

review of selected hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities used by DRMS, and

assessments of the management practices and spill controls used by customers that purchase hazardous

materials from DRMS.

Managed a project to inspect underground storage tank system compliance at 43 US Postal Service

(USPS) facilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The scope included some critical

environmental compliance functions to assure continued facility compliance. The scope of work included

detailed inspection of system status and performance, completion of state inspection certification forms,

training for operators, review of storm water plan provisions and completion of annual inspection, and

review of any other permits required by NPDES permit.

Directed the Environmental Compliance Reviews (ECR) program for the USPS Eastern Area (major

facilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, Delaware and Southern New Jersey). Scope of

work included comprehensive environmental compliance, limited health and safety compliance, asbestos

and lead paint management, and USPS policies and procedures, Project responsibilities included

preparing a work and staffing plan, overseeing training of internal staff, reviewing all reports and

preparing monthly and annual reports on project progress. All required performance indicators were met

or exceeded during the first year, including schedule, budget and report contents, were met or exceeded.

Managed the ECR Electronic Protocol Beta Test, Eastern Area, to assist the USPS in evaluating

significant changes to the methods, techniques, and tools used to conduct ECRs. Using the new

ListBuilder system, ten test audits at facilities in the Eastern Area were conducted. In addition to the

audit findings and corrective action recommendations, the project team prepared a set of comments and

recommendations on the ListBuilder system and participated in a meeting with ECR stakeholders.

Managed a contract to provide auditing services at Commercial Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal

Facilities, Nationwide, CHWMEG, Inc. Mr. DiMambro managed an ongoing contract to perform

environmental, health and safety audits at commercial hazardous and non-hazardous waste processing and

disposal facilities throughout the United States and Canada for a consortium of corporate waste

generators. The scope of work included risk factors beyond environmental compliance, including the

financial health of the facility, management structure, personnel experience, bankruptcy potential, waste

segregation methods, and attitudes to environmental regulatory agencies. Detailed written reports and

environmental ratings were submitted in a structured format.

Managed the evaluation of Ventilation Filtration Systems (VFS) at US Postal Service (USPS) Mail

Handling Facilities. Validated the performance of the VFS and associated dust collection systems at 44

facilities by monitoring the particle collection system at designated points within the mail sorting process

using optical particle counters. The evaluation team developed a testing protocol for filter efficiency

evaluation based on studies conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

(NIOSH).

Prepared an initial hazard risk assessment that was intended to form the basis of a health and Safety

management system under the requirements of ISO 18000. The facility, Fairchild Semiconductor

Corporation in Mountain Top, PA, manufactures high-performance semiconductor products. The

assessment was completed by performing a survey of the site, focusing on areas where potentially

hazardous operations were being conducted or significant amounts of hazardous materials were in use;

collecting information about potentially hazardous manufacturing and support activities from employees

through informal interviews; and reviewing standard operating procedures (SOP) and manufacturer’s

information. The results were summarized through a computer database tool called "Risk Assessment for

Semiconductor Equipment," developed by the industry trade group Semiconductor Equipment and

Materials International (SEMI) as a technique for identifying and prioritizing hazards. For each hazard,

the severity, frequency of occurrence, and probability of occurrence were estimated, entered into the

database, and used to estimate the overall relative risk of the hazard. A prioritized list of equipment and

processes was presented to the client. Follow-on work included the development of additional new and

revised SOP's for selected operations and more intense hazard analysis studies of selected pieces of

manufacturing equipment.

Managed underground storage tank system compliance inspections at 43 USPS facilities in NJ, PA, and

OH. Scope of work included detailed inspection of system status and performance, completion of state

inspection certification forms, training for operators, review of storm water plan provisions and

completion of annual inspection, and review of any other permits required by NPDES permit.
