Supported a variety of industries in overall environmental compliance efforts including, in addition

to the CAA, hazardous waste (RCRA and CERCLA), chemical reporting (TRI, EPCRA, etc), and oil

management (SPCC and SWPPP). Tasks included permit application preparation and negotiation,

recordkeeping system development and implementation, and compliance reporting. Supported

industries include: chemical manufacturing, general manufacturing, asphalt and concrete batch

plants, coal fired electric utilities, coal mining, automotive parts manufacturing, primary and

secondary metals, and distilled spirits production among others.

Assisted industry in assessing regulatory impact on operations and in developing strategies to

implement compliance regimes to support both compliance and ongoing operations.

Performed multimedia environmental, health and safety compliance audits for industries such as

manufacturing, chemical processing, petrochemical, and radioactive material processing. Audits

were performed for several reasons, such as a component of the due diligence process or as part

of standard compliance activities. Media experience includes, air, water, solid waste, and

hazardous waste. Additionally, safety compliance with OSHA regulations has often been included

in the auditing.

Worked in a variety of office settings which included leading a group of technical professionals,
