PROJECT ENGINEER/O&M SPECIALIST

Qualifications Profile

Twenty years experience in environmental compliance and consulting including system design, and operation

and maintenance (O&M) of various groundwater and soil remediation technologies. Extensive experience in

O&M supervision of operating remediation systems to maintain compliance with established regulatory

programs. Also experienced in the development and issue of Spill Pollution Control and Countermeasure

(SPCC) plans, stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP), facility response plans (FRP), and Phase 1

environmental site assessments (ESAs) for sites ranging from multi-family residential/recreational facilities to

commercial/industrial facilities. My engineering experience is preceded by an additional 18 years in industrial

manufacturing as a textile chemist employed in both the conventional and nonwovens textile industry as a

product development and technical service specialist with responsibility for environmental permitting (air,

stormwater and wastewater) and compliance of the manufacturing facility with local, state and federal agencies.

Responsibilities included serving as the main technical resource for operation and trouble-shooting of extensive

process water filtration and recovery systems as well as pre-treatment coordinator for the facility's wastewater

pretreatment facility as permitted by the local POTW.
