CERCLA, audit, remediation at over 200 sites and pollution

prevention experience. He was a technical director responsible

for development of air pollution control devices and reuse of

waste products, managed major programs in industrial waste

treatment research and developments in oil and hazardous material

spill control and remediation. This is complemented by his

experience in the petrochemical, petroleum, polymer, chemical and

food industries, where he did process development and design. In

over a wide range of areas, has expert witness, negotiating,

mediation as well as organizational development and strategic

management experience. He has participated as the lead

environmental member on a number of Value Engineering Studies.

He has served as an expert witness and consultant on over

fifteen matters involving various aspects of hazardous materials

including several PCB contamination matters as well as practices

in the 1950 and 1960s. He served on the expert panel of the CDC,

which evaluated the Bloomington, Indiana PCB contaminated site

for the CDC.

Lederman has worked in policy development and analysis in a

number of positions he has held beginning in 1968 when he worked

at the local level to develop a solid waste management policy.

Since that time he has worked at the federal and state levels.

He does policy analysis and helps shape policy from leadership

positions in such widely diverse organizations as the National

Association of Manufacturers, the Water Environment Federation

and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers where he chaired

the Government Relations Committee. He was responsible for the

Otto York Center for Environmental Engineering and Science, which
